History Recap / TheFlash2014S3E20IKnowWhoYouAre

* SarcasticConfession: Turns out Savitar's been trolling Barry and company the entire Season about his true identity. He's been telling them upfront who he is this entire time ("I am the Future Flash") and knowing they ''wouldn't'' get it thanks to his odd usage of grammar.

** During one action sequence, Killer Frost rides a slide of ice that she creates, which is typically the SignatureMove of Bobby Drake/ComicBook/{{Iceman}}. It could also be a nod to Frozone from ''Franchise/TheIncredibles''.

* BadassLongcoat: Unlike the Earth-2 version's BikerBabe look, Earth-1 Killer Frost wears a blue longcoat.

* RealityEnsues: Killer Frost attacks Tracy Brand in broad daylight and the latter can identify her to a very accurate sketch artist, meaning there's no way that Team Flash can cover this up. However, they do their best by tampering with security footage.

* NotSoDifferent: Cisco has chastised Julian for removing Caitlin's restraining collar to save her despite the consequences, but Cisco shows a similar attitude when being hesitant to harm her.

* {{Bookends}}: Barry's TitleDrop, only because the beginning of the episode is a quick FlashForward.

** Earlier in the season, Jay Garrick had said "We're not gods, Barry," with a similar quote later uttered to Barry by Oliver. It turns out that in the future, Barry [[AGodAmI develops one hell of a god complex]].

Now that he's back in the present, Barry tries to find Tracy Brand so they can stop Savitar here and now. But Savitar and Killer Frost are actively hunting for her too, which puts Caitlin's secret at risk. At the same time, Barry finally realizes Savitar's identity.

-->'''"Savitar":''' Like I told you from the beginning... ''I'' am the Future Flash.

* HowWeGotHere: The episode begins with Barry saying to Savitar, [[TitleDrop "I know who you are."]] The next scene is 16 hours earlier. The story eventually catches up to the beginning and continues past it.

* SelfDeprecation: Considering TheReveal, Barry's "Everything with you is about time, isn't it?" winds up coming off as this...

** In a weird sense, "I am the future, Flash" is effectively the show's "[[Series/ThePrisoner1967 You are Number 6.]]" Both ''do'' disguise important meanings [[ExactWords with the presence/absence of commas...]]

-->'''Barry:''' Everything with you is about time, isn't it? The past, the present, the future... you know all of it, right? And you know everything about me! About Joe, about Wally... AND IRIS! You know our strengths, you know our fears, you know how much we love each other. And you know how to use that love against us. All this time, we thought we couldn't stop you because you were one step ahead, but that's not it. You don't just "know" what's gonna happen to us. You were there. You ''lived it.'' You remember... '''when you were me'''.
* WhamShot: Savitar steps out of the suit... and he's Barry himself, scarred and twisted.

* ShutUpKirk: Killer Frost mocks all of Barry's attempts to talk her down.

* BookEnds: Barry's TitleDrop, only because the beginning of the episode is a quick FlashForward.

* WrittenInAbsence: Wally is on Earth-3 visiting Jesse Quick. Julian lampshades how ill-timed this is, as having Kid Flash would be very useful. He shows up after everything is said and done.

* AbsenteeActor: Wally is on Earth-3 visiting Jesse Quick. Julian lampshades how ill-timed this is, as having Kid Flash would be very useful. He shows up after everything is said and done.

* ArcWords: Barry being told that "he's not a God" throughout the season finally pays off with TheReveal.
** Also, Savitar constantly stating "I am the future, Flash" is revealed to be taken ''very'' literally; e.g., "I am the Future Flash."
