Trivia

 * This is Stephen Amell's first and only episode to date where he does not make an appearance due to his deal that allowed him to appear in nine Season 8 episodes.
 * The real reason the backdoor pilot for the proposed series was created is because Marc Guggenheim was asked by The CW to make an additional episode to bridge the gap between the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover episode and series finale, and also bring the episode order for Season 8 from nine to ten.
 * The original title "Livin' in The Future" would've been the second Season 8 episode, and eighth penultimate episode to be named after a Bruce Springsteen song before it was changed at the request of Warner Bros.
 * Tara Miele directed her second Arrow penultimate episode. The first was from Season 6.
 * Which version of Laurel Lance, whether it be Earth-2 Laurel or a brand new Earth-Prime Laurel, survived the Anti-Monitor Crisis will be revealed in this episode.
