At the DEO, Winn, Braniac, J'onn, and Mon-El are attempting to spare the Legion boat from falling into the star. Winn recalls that the Voyager tests from NASA are in the territory, and can utilize them to move signs to the Legion boat and spare it from falling into the star.

Trivia[]
- The episode's title refers to the Kryptonian prison of the same name.
- In her apartment, Alex is watching the 1940 film The Philadelphia Story before Kara, Samantha, and Ruby arrive.
- Alex and Kara mention having watched the 1980 film The Shining.
- Livewire calls Reign a "GLOW reject", referencing the TV series GLOW.
- When Psi asks Livewire if she has a problem, she replies, "99, but you ain't one", referencing the Jay-Z song "99 Problems", in which he sings about having "99 problems, but a bitch ain't one".
- Livewire refers to Psi as "Regina George", the principal antagonist from the 2004 film Mean Girls.
- Querl Dox sarcastically suggests they use "willpower" to bend a signal around the blue star to reach The Legion's cruiser, which could be a reference to the Green Lanterns' source of power.
- Livewire and Psi both call Imra "Matilda", a reference to the Roald Dahl novel Matilda and its subsequent adaptations, where a young girl displays great intelligence and telekinetic powers.
- When Imra is hit by Psi's psychic wave, her fears were not shown. It was later revealed in "Of Two Minds" that Imra saw her dead sister, Preya Ardeen.
- In most Superman mythos, since blue stars emit more energy than both yellow and red stars, Kryptonians exposed to their radiation receive an exponential power increase. Exposed to a blue sun, Kryptonians have all the powers they would under a yellow sun, while also gaining one additional power: Superman vision. In the Arrowverse, this has been altered into an energy overload that leaves them de-powered.
Goofs[]
- Thomas Coville mentioned in "Reign" that his knowledge of the Worldkillers came from a Kryptonian priestess who escaped from Fort Rozz, who is revealed in this episode to be Jindah Kol Rozz. However, J'onn states she never escaped in the years the prison landed on Earth before Kara threw it into space. Thus, it's unknown how Jindah could've come into contact with Coville without being free.
- Correction: after J'onn mentions the (unnamed) Kryptonian priestess who escaped Fort Rozz & encountered Coville while dying, Winn says they "combed the manifests of Fort Rozz and found there are exactly two priestesses on board", of whom the other is Jindah Kol Rozz.
- In Maggie's text, she says her new address is 709 Halston St., National City, 44333. However, when Alex is mailing Maggie's passport to her, its destination is written as 13 Flower St., Apt. #6, National City, 91604.
- Livewire dies after being fatally wounded by Reign's heat vision. However, it's been shown that Livewire can absorb heat vision (unharmed) and use it as an energy source to charge her powers.[1]
- Given how Reign's powers were created with both genetic engineering and dark magic, this may have made her heat vision more volatile, allowing it to be fatal to Livewire in spite of the latter's energy-absorbing abilities.
- At the end of the episode when Julia is hit by a car, there is no driver when she pushes it away.
- It's possible that it was a self-driving car.
