Plot[]
The episode opens with Chester monitoring the city as part of his job working for the Central City Police Department. Allegra shows up with lunch for Chester much to Chester’s surprise. Chester playfully asks Allegra if he’s lunch date worthy and she starts flirting with Chester by saying he’s date worthy in all aspects. The two are then interrupted by the Flash defeating three criminals and turning them into the police. Kristen Kramer shows irritation by the Flash constantly bringing in criminals as she doesn’t feel like the Flash and the police are working in unison.

Trivia[]
- As mentioned by Allegra, this episode takes place on a Wednesday, referencing how the show began regularly airing episodes on Wednesdays since the previous episode, "Impulsive Excessive Disorder".
- Chester says that maybe Marcus will learn to control plants, which could be a reference to Danielle Panabaker's character Layla in Sky High, who possesses plant-controlling abilities. (Later on, Khione is shown to have an elemental connection to nature.)
- The song that Frost and Mark Blaine sing karaoke to is "Cold as Ice" by Foreigner. It was previously played in "Rogue Air" but with Leonard Snart/Captain Cold instead.
- Goldface recognized Barry Allen as the "Chemist" from when he went undercover as a criminal in "Goldfaced".
- Goldface's ringtone for Amunet Black is the song "Love Is A Battlefield" which is a reference to the last episode in which they appeared, "Love Is A Battlefield".
- Goldface proves he's wasn't kidding about his Yale education, quoting Ahab; even stating he gave a copy of Moby Dick as a birthday gift for one of his men. His men being so uncultured prompts Goldface to call them "philistines".
Goofs[]
- In the official [[#Synopsis|press release[[ for the episode, Frost is mistakenly referred to as "Snow".
