* DramaPreservingHandicap: Normally, breaking into A.R.G.U.S. and stealing an item should be a piece of cake for speedsters who can additionally phase through walls. Except the walls are lined with equipment that dampens metahuman powers.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early on, Snart [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the fact that the best-laid plans tend to go awry anyway. Guess what happens when they finally confront Savitar with the Speed Force Bazooka?



* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The energy source is obtained by Team Flash 75% through the episode. The final quarter deals with the fateful night predicted since the winter finale.



* NoodleIncident: Presumably at some point during the first season of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' the Legends visited Siberia in 1892, though we never saw this in the series itself. Somehow Barry figures out that Snart is there.
