Keep It Dark

"You are a leader. And not in spite of your past, but because of it. You're Allegra freakin' Garcia. You always know who you are, what you wanna do, but you can't lead if you're trying to stay in the dark."
—Chester P. Runk to Allegra Garcia[src]

Trivia

Goofs

  • Thawne claims the ability to run around the planet in 5 seconds, which is inconsistent with most previously seen speeds. Thawne struggled to catch up to Barry in Reverse-Flashpoint, taking longer than 5 seconds to cross over the Atlantic Ocean. This was during a 2 minute period that it was going to take Barry to accelerate up to Mach 40 (over 500 times slower than this claimed speed).
  • When Barry saw the confrontation between Taylor and Allegra in the Still Force, Taylor wore a jacket and carried a laptop, yet she had neither when it played out in this episode.
  • It's possibile that the timeline changed when Barry and Nora went into the Still Force
