Notes & Trivia[]

Episode notes[]

  • This episode is rated TV-PG.
  • This episode is production code number T27.13118.
  • This episode had a viewership of 2.37 million people upon its initial broadcast, which is up by 0.383 from the previous episode. It scored a rating of 0.9% in the 18-49 viewing demographic.

Allusions[]

  • There are several thousand people with the last name of DeVoe living in the state. One of which is, as Cisco puts it, an "evil killer baby", who is three-month old William DeVoe.
  • According to Felicity Smoak, the divorce rate among married couples in the United States is 55%.
  • A running gag in the series is the fact that S.T.A.R. Labs has no security protocols in place whatsoever. Anyone can just walk into the Cortex, as demonstrated by Felicity Smoak in this episode.
  • Reference is made to Doctor Who in this episode. Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series about an alien Time Lord known as the Doctor who regenerates into a new form upon his death. At the time that this episode aired, the twelfth incarnation of the Doctor regenerated into a woman as per the Christmas Special, "Twice Upon a Time". Joanie Horton expresses her approval of the new female Doctor.
  • In another example of Marvel vs. DC promotion, Felicity Smoak compares Caitlin Snow's radical physical and personality change into Killer Frost to the Incredible Hulk. The Hulk is a Marvel Comics character whose real name is Robert Bruce Banner. In times of stress, or in some cases, as an act of sheer will, Bruce Banner transforms into the green-skinned monster power-house known as the Hulk.

Locations[]

  • The exterior of S.T.A.R. Labs is shown, as well as the interior of the Cortex.
  • The strip club that Ralph Dibny brings Cisco, Barry, Harrison and Joe to is called the Golden Booty. "Booty" is a slang term referring to a woman's buttocks. In olden days, it was also used to describe treasure coveted by pirates. Ralph Dibny is the Golden Booty's number one customer.

Organizations[]

  • Felicity Smoak makes reference to Team Arrow, which is the group of adventurers that she belongs to that is based out of Star City. Team Arrow and Team Flash have well... teamed up with one another on several occasions.
  • The businessmen that Amunet Black sells Weeper to are members of the Yakuza. The Yakuza is a Japanese criminal syndicate with great influence and power, known for its strict code of conduct and acts of extreme violence.

Powers & Abilities[]

  • Ralph Dibny experiments with his newfound elasticity at S.T.A.R. Labs. He later stretches his left arm across tables at the strip club to "make change" with an unsuspecting customer.
  • Bio-conversion is the ability to alter one's physical appearance. It is an application of metamorphosis. Caitlin Snow undergoes slight physical changes when she transforms from her normal identity into Killer Frost. Her hair color changes from brown to white, and her lips turn blue.
  • As Killer Frost, Caitlin Snow has the ability to generate volumes of water vapor at sub-zero temperatures. This is referred to as cryokinesis. She demonstrates this by blasting Norvok through a glass window with a gust of cold air from her hands.
  • This is one of the few instances, if not the only instance, where Barry Allen does not use his super-speed in an episode. At the Golden Booty, he tells Joe that he flash-zipped from his seat at super-speed to get some peanuts from the bar, but this is likely him just joking with Joe as he was highly intoxicated at the time.
  • Magnetism, which is a subset of electromagnetism, appears to be the primary power of Amunet Black. She can psionically command bits of metal to form a shield or body-weapons around her person, and can also propel them as high-speed projectiles, which is what she does against Killer Frost.
  • Norvok has a very peculiar metahuman ability. His right eye is fake. Behind it rests a tentacle that can protrude from his eye-socket and attack people with little grippers on the end of it. Ew.

Food & Drink[]

  • At Iris West's bachelorette dinner, champagne is served. Cecile Horton turns away from her glass as she is pregnant. Caitlin Snow, concerned about issues going on in her life, readily downs Cecile's drink after having already finished her own.
  • At the Golden Booty, everybody orders drinks at the bar. Cisco Ramon prepares a special drink for Barry Allen designed to keep up with his super-accelerated metabolism and still allow him to enjoy the benefits of mild inebriation.
  • Cecile Horton states that she intends on doubling up on desert in lieu of not having any champagne at dinner.
  • A drunken Barry Allen gleefully and tearfully devours some chicken wings at the Golden Booty. He later tells Joe West that he snagged some peanuts from the bar.
  • Cecile Horton brings home some fast food take-out from Big Belly Burger. Big Belly Burger is the premiere eatery in the DC Television Universe and is referenced often between the various shows, including Arrow. Cecile determines that her sudden craving for Big Belly Burger means that her child is not going to be a vegetarian.

Quotes[]

  • Cecile Horton: Did you kill anyone?
  • Killer Frost: Some people lost their fingers and their toes, but... no, no one died.
  • Iris West: And how are you here now?
  • Killer Frost: While Caitlin sleeps, I am awake.
  • Felicity Smoak: Oh, my God! You're like The Incredible Hulk! That's - I said that with too much chutzpah.

  • Killer Frost: Next time you want to talk, come yourself. Don't send your eye-hole to attack me.
  • Amunet Black: Did you start a fight? Honestly, Norvock. That's why you're my third favorite henchman. I mean, what do I always say?
  • Killer Frost: Never start a fight you can't finish.

....

  • Clifford DeVoe: I went to a lot of trouble creating you. I can't have you running away. Not until you've completed the task for which you were born.
