Notes

• Nora West-Allen reveals more events of the her own future, including:
  • Cicada becoming one of the worst Flash's foes and the only one to escape him;
  • The superheroes of Earth trying to catch Cicada but failing in capturing him.
• It is revealed that David Hersch was originally Cicada in the original timeline of Earth-1 as well as in Nora's Future.
  • David Hersch being Cicada also seems to be a Multiversal constant as his counterparts were Cicada in, at least, 37 alternate realities according to Sherloque Wells.

Trivia

• Post 85 "#YOLO" is The Chronicles of Cisco post regarding this episode.
• Nora mentions "the League" fighting Cicada in the future. It is obviously a reference to the Justice League.
  • In the timeline of Earth-Prime, a version of the League will be formed in the aftermath of the Crisis.
  • The Nora's Future iteration of the League will appear for the first time in Earth-Prime #6.
• Kolins Woods is named after the DC artist, Scott Kolins.
