Trivia

  • This episode follows the pattern for the penultimate episode of a season of Arrow to be named after a Bruce Springsteen song.
  • Oliver is revealed to be working undercover so that he can dismantle the League from the inside with only Malcom Merlyn being the only other person aware of the plan.
  • The aircraft shown is a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II (AKA Joint Strike Fighter). During take-off it is obviously an F-35B, the variant designed primarily for the United States Marine Corps. However, when Ray is fighting the aircraft in the air, it is obviously an F-35A, the variant designed primarily for the United States Air Force, as the STOVL (short take-off/vertical landing doors) on the B variant are not present. That footage looks a lot like some of the F-35 promotional video.
  • The schematics of the aircraft on Felicity's tablet are not those of an F-35. They are closer to a McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier, which also has STOVL capabilities but has a very different planform.
