Notes

• This episode is mainly set on Savitar's Future where his Paradox began in the Post-Flashpoint continuity. By 2024, the following events have occurred:
  • Savitar killed Iris West which was originally shown in "The Present";
  • An enraged Wally West attacked Savitar by himself but the God of Speed overpowered him and broke his spine, leaving him catatonic after revealing his true identity;
  • Cisco Ramon lost his hands as well as his vibing abilities during the battle against Killer Frost that was originally glimpsed in "Shade"; he eventually replaced his hands with robotic ones.
  • Team Flash disbanded and S.T.A.R. Labs was left abandoned;
  • Killer Frost was captured and imprisoned in Iron Heights by Julian Albert;
  • H.R. Wells has become a successful author and owner of Jitters which he renamed as H.R. Jitters.
  • In 2021, Savitar was eventually defeated by The Flash and imprisoned in the Speed Force thanks to Tracy Brand's Speed Force Bazooka; Barry then retired to the abandoned S.T.A.R. Labs;
  • Some time after Barry's retirement in the S.T.A.R. Labs, the Flash Villains, including Top and Mirror Master, resurfaced without anyone opposing them.
• The events of this future are eventually averted on Earth-1 due to the interference of H.R. Wells who will sacrifice himself to save Iris from Savitar.^[1]
