License to Elongate

"Name's Allen. Barry Allen."

Synopsis
Barry turns his attention to prepping Elongated Man for life after Crisis and without The Flash, but Ralph ultimately teaches Barry a lesson. Meanwhile, Cecile faces her own moment of self-discovery while helping a recuperated Chester P. Runk reclaim his identity.

Trivia

 * The title references the James Bond film License to Kill, adding to the list of James Bond-related references involving Ralph.
 * Ralph lets Barry in on everything he knows about Sue Dearbon, including that she was last seen wearing a one-of-a-kind designer dress by Victoria Vale. In the comics, Vicki Vale is a journalist with a very long history with Bruce Wayne/Batman. Vicki was first introduced in Batman #49 in 1948 in a story entitled "Scoop of the Century!" The character, largely set up to be a Lois Lane-type figure for Batman stories, had suspicions that Bruce Wayne and Batman were one and the same. The character was also frequently portrayed as a love interest for Bruce.
 * This is the first episode to not feature Candice Patton  (Iris West-Allen) between the 2 title cards.
 * The Elongated Man emblem that Barry gives to Ralph at the end of the episode resembles that of his comic book counterpart.
 * While pretending to be drunk, Barry tells Ultraviolet, "I love Mortal Kombat! You know what my favorite part is? Finish him!" This is a reference to Mileena, a similarly masked female character from the video game Mortal Kombat II.

Goofs

 * While giving Ralph the Elongated Man emblem, Barry does not blur his face or filter his voice despite likely being viewed by people he knows.
