Notes

• Although it is not revealed until "The Once and Future Flash", Cisco vibes Savitar's future timeline after touching Caitlin.
• There's a continuity error in this episode as Cisco mentions he never vibed a vision that didn't happen. However, this is false as, in "The Reverse-Flash Returns", he vibed Eobard Thawne killing Tina McGee which Team Flash managed to prevent.
• According to H.R. Wells, there's an alternate version of Gorilla Grodd on Earth-19.

Trivia

• The name of the dead CCPD agents are revealed in "Borrowing Problems from the Future".
• H.R. Wells mentions the helbing as a coin on his Earth. This is a reference to Todd and Aaron Helbing which are the executive producers of The Flash.
