Trivia

• The final scene with Nash Wells is also used in Supergirl, Batwoman and Arrow in their final episodes before Crisis. Only in this episode is that scene’s context given.
• Cisco Ramon had Babel Protocols built just in case the Flash ever went "dark" at S.T.A.R. Labs. This is a reference to JLA: Tower of Babel, where Batman similarly made contingency plans if the Justice League ever went rogue.
• Barry’s infected form is based on his Negative Flash form from the comics, although Cisco refers to him as "Dark Flash." Previously, this nickname was given to Eobard Thawne in his Reichsmen outfit in concept art for Crisis on Earth-X. In the comics, this name refers to Walter West, a doppelgänger of Wally’s that used his speed to become a brutal vigilante.
• This is the last episode of The Flash to use the title card introduced in Season 4.
• The H.R. Wells quote Cecile mentions was something he said to Joe West in "Killer Frost".
