Trivia
- On Felicity's marker board with possible name options for her company's name written down, one of the names that she has crossed out reads "Oracle", a reference to Barbara Gordon, who used the moniker after becoming paralyzed from the waist down. She focused heavily on technology and computers.
- This is the second time "Oracle" has been referenced on Arrow, the first being in the episode "A.W.O.L." by Oliver.
- This is also a reference to the real life company, Oracle Corporation.
- Felicity proposes "Bit by Bit" as a name for her company, to which Oliver remarks that it "sounds like a sitcom from the 80's". This is likely a reference to the 90s sitcom Step by Step.
- This episode takes place on October 26, 2017, as seen on the Kord Industries expedition log, the same date it first aired.
