** Unless she was erased from the timeline by Flashpoint there is the possibility that in the future she will escape and/or they will have to eventually inform everybody of her existence.

* Stein now having a daughter means that the events that lead him to becoming Firestorm have also changed which means that during the time when he and Ronnie couldn't remember who they were he had twice as much angst during that time because he would have had the desire to not only get back to his wife, but to his daughter.
