Synopsis
Feeling overwhelmed with all the changes since Crisis, Barry conducts an experiment that goes awry and puts him directly in Gorilla Grodd's path.

Trivia
- The title of the episode is a play on the Greg Berlanti show God Friended Me which stars The Flash recurring cast member Violett Beane (Jesse Wells/Jesse Quick).
- The opening scene of the episode features a camera shot at the clouds towards the ground. The scene is similar to the one in Pilot.
- Grodd and Barry merging their consciousness together its similar to when Martin Stein merges his body with both Jefferson Jackson and Ronnie Raymond to form Firestorm with the Firestorm Matrix.
- Grodd getting speedster powers is a reference to the New 52 comics version of Grodd, complete with the red lightning bolt on his torso.
- This marks the first appearance of Hartley Rathaway since the season 2 episode "Flash Back".
- This episode marks the return of Eobard Thawne since Season 5 finale "Legacy".
- It is revealed that Eva is the one who created Mirror Iris and is essentially controlling her in the real world.
- Gorilla Grodd's illusory Caitlin Snow said to Barry Allen "Use your signs". This may be a reference to the other Barry's phrase "My special skills include Viola, Web Design, fluent in Sign Language, Gorilla Sign Language" in the Zack Snyder film Justice League.
- Kamilla refers to a merged Flash/Grodd as "Brundle-Grodd". This is a reference to David Cronenberg's The Fly, where the main character Seth Brundle refers to himself as "Brundle-Fly".
Goofs
- Frost says that they modified Grodd's telepathic crown to keep him in his coma, and Grodd is seen wearing it while unconscious in his cell. Barry states that Grodd had stolen the crown from King Shark. However, after defeating Grodd, King Shark got the crown back.[1]
- This could easily just be another change in the Earth-Prime timeline.
- It's also possible that Tanya Lamden may have built another telepathic crown for Grodd specially designed to keep him in his comatose state, allowing the original crown to be returned to King Shark, as the latter needed it stop the neural regression of his mind.[1]
- During the fight with Solovar, Frost tells Kamilla and Chester that Solovar is winning, despite Barry only having said that they were fighting a gatekeeper.
