Godspeed


 * For the eponymous character, see August Heart.

Synopsis
After discovering that Nora is working with Thawne, Barry and Iris disagree about how to handle their daughter in the wake of this shocking news. Team Flash isn’t sure they can trust Nora, so they go through her journal to find out exactly how she came to work alongside their greatest nemesis.

Continuity Errors

 * Iris gives out to Sherloque for not telling anyone about his investigating of Nora. Except he did in, even asking her a few questions about Nora's behaviour, the only difference now is that he has some evidence to back up those suspicions and has figured out what she was hiding.

Trivia

 * The title is a reference to a speedster from the comics named Godspeed.
 * Danielle Panabaker makes her directional debut in this episode.
 * Most of the episode takes place in 2049.
 * Lia mentioned that there was a speedster with purple lightning that used to operate in Central City. The identity of the speedster is unknown, but it's possible that she's talking about Accelerated Man or Iris West, presumably the latter, as it's unknown whether the Accelerated Man's ever traveled to Earth-1.
 * It's noted about Godspeed that no other speedster has white lightning, even though Savitar's lightning was white whenever he wore his suit.
 * This episode includes many refrences to Season 1, especially :
 * At the beginning of the flashforwards, Nora is seen running late to a crime scene she suppose to investigate, similar to Barry in the pilot.
 * After getting struck by lightning, Nora wakes up at the hospital, while we see Lia from her point of view and the song "Poker Face" plays in the background. The same thing happened to Barry in the pilot (though Barry woke up in S.T.A.R. Labs with the same song playing, rather than in the hospital).
 * The first time she used her super speed, Nora accidentally ran into a truck with the name of Gambi, getting confused about what just happened. The same thing happened to Barry in the pilot.
 * When trying to teach Nora how to phase, Eobard gave her the exact same speech he gave to Barry while teaching him how to phase in.
 * At the end of the flashforwards, Eobard is seen drinking Big Belly Burger, which is the same drink he used to have many times throughout Season 1.
 * The way Nora responded to Gideon when they first meet is exactly the same as how her father Barry reacted to Gideon when he first met her in.
 * The way Nora first interacts with Gideon is the same as when Sherloque first interacts with her in "Memorabilia"
 * In the Time Vault, Gideon pulled up a video filmed by Barry. Though Barry's face takes up most of the screen, a red sky looms ominously in the background. The sounds of a battle rage around him; Oliver Queen can even be heard shouting indistinctly. At one point, something off-screen flashes and causes Barry to flinch. Red skies are, of course, are significant to the Crisis of 2024 event where Iris also noted red skies as well as Barry, Oliver, and other heroes present in her article.
 * This is also a reference to Marv Wolfman and George Perez's DC comics event Crisis on Infinite Earths. When the sky turns red, it heralds the death of the multiverse.
 * The footage of Zoom that Nora watched at the Flash Museum was taken from.
 * When Nora's hurrying to a crime scene, she bumps into someone, and then apologizes, saying she's "really late for an important date", possibly referring to a quote by the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.
 * The way Nora began to see Eobard Thawne who is incarcerated at Iron Heights, to ask his help to catch the new speedster Godspeed, is very similar to the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs.
 * Nora and Lia are both CSI techs in 2049, coincidentally B.D. Wong   (August Heart/Godspeed) played Dr. George Huang on Law & Order SVU. Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin Snow) who directed this episode, was also in an episode of SVU.
 * B.D. Wong   (August Heart/Godspeed) is the third actor from the DC Fox show Gotham to be on The Flash playing Professor Hugo Strange after Anthony Carrigan   (Kyle Nimbus) who played Victor Zsasz and David Dastmalchian  (Abra Kadabra) who played Dwight.
