* Subtle instance when Barry is ready to save Nora. His alternate self stops him...but curiously, alternate Barty is only mildly surprised to see himself there. It's almost as if...Alternate Barry ''knew'' he'd be there. How is that possible (and why would he warn himself not to interfere)? Subsequent events over the series will gradually reveal Alternate Barry is actually the Season 9 Barry and thus was well aware his younger self would "drop in" (having done so 8 years earlier). Nora's death will also be revealed to be a fixed point in time and nothing can be done to change it. Season 9 Barry knows this all too well from personal and painful experience (and knows that if his Season 1 self tries this, it'll prematurely trigger the Flashpoint). And because Nora's death is a fixed point, Season 9 Barry knows he and Thawne are in a time loop and that Nora has to die to ensure the events of the series to come play out.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The final fight between Barry and Thawne in this season. While Barry might have become more determined than before to win this fight, just having a HeroicSecondWind doesn't automatically allow him to surpass the gap between him and Eobard that must have come from ''decades of being a Speedster over Barry''. The best he did was lasting a bit better than he had ever did before, which only amounted to Barry buying enough time for Eddie to arrive and make the final sacrfice. He ''would'' have died if Eddie hadn't appeared at the last moment.
