Trivia[]
- When DeVoe (disguised as John Diggle) goes to A.R.G.U.S., a guard says "Elvis, Banana" DeVoe then responds "Hendricks, Spaghetti"; a word association test that Barry had been given in the penultimate episode of season 3 ("Infantino Street") when he and Leonard Snart had broken into A.R.G.U.S. to steal the Dominators' energy source being stored there. With a fake I.D. created by Cisco, and H.R.'s facial transmogrification device, Barry (impersonating Lyla Michaels) had been been able to get past most of the security at the facility's entrance. However, when the guard gave the word association test, Barry was unable to give the correct answer, and thus, had to fight his way through security.
- Both sets of words relate to a celebrity's favorite food;

- When Cisco discovers that DeVoe has hostages he says "oh Frell me" the is in reference to the science fiction tv show Farscape on which Frell is a swear word in the same vein as Frak from Battlestar Galactica.
