- Not to be confused with the Arrow episode "Unthinkable".
"Untouchable" is the twelfth episode of the third season of The Flash, and the fifty-eighth episode overall. It aired on February 7, 2017.
Synopsis
Barry and the team at S.T.A.R. Labs work together to bring down Clive Yorkin, a criminal meta-human who is methodically killing people by causing them to decompose at an accelerated rate. Joe becomes his next target, but it’s Iris who is caught in the crossfire. The Flash mentors Kid Flash and begins to elevate the newer speedster’s training to another level.[1]
Trivia
- When this episode was broadcast on The CW, the credits concludes with a promotional tie-in to The LEGO Batman Movie that featured LEGO variants of the end cards in addition to Batman's cameo in the Berlanti Productions logo.
- Cisco quoted "May the odds be ever in your favor", a line from The Hunger Games series.
- Clive Yorkin commended Julio Mendez on singing a rendition of "Dock of the Bay", a song by Otis Redding.
- Clive Yorkin quotes the proverb "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" by educational writer W. E. Hickson when Barry and Wally stop him from killing Laura Stone.
- Al Capone's Earth-19 counterpart being referenced on the episode named Untouchable might be a reference to The Untouchables, which was also referenced multiple times on "The Chicago Way", an episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow featuring Earth-1's Capone as a supporting antagonist.
- Cisco vibing the alternate Earth to view Flashpoint provides an explanation for how he was able to remember Reverse-Flash killing him even though the timeline had been changed, where in the new timeline, his death never occurred.
