Notes
- This episode takes place one week after the epilogue of "The Trial of the Flash".
- Barry ending up in Iron Heights was originally glimpsed in "Fast Enough". However, that vision doesn't seem to show the current continuity but it could be set on either the original timeline of Earth-1, the original 2024 future or an unknown, alternate Pre-Flashpoint timeline of Earth-1.
