Notes
- It's revealed that Nora West-Allen hails from the possible future where The Flash/Barry Allen died in Crisis of 2024.
- A newspaper from 2049 reveals that Flash is still missing 25 years after the Crisis.
- In this timeline, Earth-1 and Earth-38 are two separate worlds as Supergirl is mentioned to come from another universe.
- Nora's time travel has severely altered the continuity of Earth-1 (and eventually her own timeline) as new metahumans were born as a consequence of of her interference with the timeline.
Trivia
- Post 84 "#CiscoCarpeDiem" is The Chronicles of Cisco post regarding this episode.[1]
- "Nora shouldn't be here", which is said by Barry in the episode, is one of the quotes he stated after returning from the Speed Force in "The Flash Reborn".
- After mentioning King Shark, Nora foreshadows his fight with Gorilla Grodd during the events of "King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd".
- In the newspaper from the future, it is mentioned that, in the aftermath of the Crisis, Roger Hayden/Psycho-Pirate said "Worlds lived, worlds died. Nothing will ever be the same." which are almost the same, iconic lines his Earth-Two comic counterpart from the original Crisis on Infinite Earths event.
- It also foreshadows the incoming Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover.
- Batwoman being mentioned in the newspaper foreshadows her introduction in "Elseworlds, Part 1".
- While wondering about the Multiverse, which he refers to as the "manyverse", Ralph mentions an Earth where they are all villains, which is a reference to Earth-2 and Earth-X.
- He also wonders about the existence of an Earth where there's no world hunger and an Earth where Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was never made.
- After the defeat of Gridlock, Ralph Dibny jokes about a timeline where he died in the Particle Accelerator explosion which is a reference to his Pre-Flashpoint counterpart's death in the explosion that was originally mentioned by Eobard Thawne.[2]
