* AcceptableTargets: The USSR/Russians are getting targeted so many times in this episode, it sometimes verges on outright American propaganda. The things that prevents it from being so is that 1) Stein recognizes that the USA is by no means perfect and 2) it's still Communist Russia at the height of the Cold War.

* CompleteMonster: [[TheSocialDarwinist Valentina Vostok]] is a Soviet physicist [[Characters/ArrowverseVandalSavageAndFollowers allied with Vandal Savage]], who leads "Operation Svarog" to create a Soviet [[Characters/ArrowverseFirestorm Firestorm]] to use against America in the Cold War. To do so, Vostok spent years experimenting on humans, resulting in countless casualties from failed experiments. After discovering Martin Stein possessed knowledge about the Firestorm project, Vostok has his friends kidnapped and thrown into a Soviet gulag. Using various methods to interrogate Stein, including a drug that causes excruciating pain, Stein finally talks upon being ForcedToWatch his teammates being tortured. Upon finding out Stein himself is one half of Firestorm, Vostok decides to forcibly fuse herself with him to become a new Firestorm, where she manically fire-balls others. In a BadFuture, she creates an army of Firestorms which wipes out nearly every country by the 21st century, content with her own country being destroyed so it can be rebuilt stronger.

* HarsherInHindsight: Rip using the possibility of Sara's family dying to motivate her to kill Stein if necessary is just cruel when it's revealed in the finale that [[spoiler:Rip knows that the next time he'll bring Sara back to 2016 her sister will already be dead.]]

* EsotericHappyEnding: The team escapes just as Vostok goes nuclear and blows up in the middle of a prison yard as a prison break is happening. Next scene everyone looks happy and accomplished, ignoring all guards and prisoners that were probably killed in the explosion (like the old man Ray helped earlier), who given the Soviet Union's policies for imprisonment, were only there for the crime of disagreeing with the government. The ending also glosses over how much of the problems the team got into were their fault, and the fact that the Soviet Union has at last some knowledge of how Firestorm works.
