* HarsherInHindsight: Abra Kadabra had previously claimed that Barry learning Savitar's true identity would allow him to beat Savitar and save Iris. Ultimately, Barry figured it out on his own successfully... yet in the end, it still didn't matter and Savitar won anyway.
* HeReallyCanAct: While Creator/GrantGustin's credibility was already proven numerous times in the past, his ActingForTwo this episode got him even more praise, particularly him showing the desperation of TheHero and the complexity of the BigBad.

** Iris' death might be believable... if it actually aired during May 23rd, which isn't until ''next'' week. However, given that Henry Allen also died before the finale it might be a subversion...

* MemeticMutation: Many fans joke that the reason Julian is absent in this episode is because he's still sobbing after Caitlin told him last episode that she never loved him.

Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualAdaptation: At least regarding once scene. Specifically, the one where Barry is cradling Iris' corpse is compared by some fans to an eerily similar scene from ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' where the [[RedIsHeroic red-clad hero]] holds his deceased LoveInterest ''also'' named Iris. It does not help that both deaths involve {{Powered Armor}}s, powerful stones, and a {{BFG}}.

* WhatAnIdiot: Barry specifically said that he can't know where Iris is because then Savitar will know too and yet H.R. tells him after just being asked. Even if the Barry who asked ''wasn't'' Savitar H.R. should still know to keep his mouth shut. H.R. lampshades this himself.
