* CantHaveSexEver: It's not clear exactly what Caitlin was trying to warn Barry about early on in the episode, but it appeared to touch on this trope, by way of Barry [[PowerIncontinence not being able to control his power,]] which we see happening a little bit while he's making out with Linda.

* NotDistractedByTheSexy[=/=]CluelessChickMagnet: The owner of the Allens' old house quite openly hits on Joe, and shows up in a LittleBlackDress offering him "strawberry daiquiri." Joe misses all of her advances.
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: After being dropped a couple hundred feet by Firestorm, Firestorm grabs Barry just as he lands on the STAR Labs van's windshield and lands him on the ground. Barry is unhurt, but shocked by the height.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Everything to do with Ronnie's detonation at the end of the episode. Wells tells Barry that even he can't outrun a nuclear blast, but the shockwaves from the explosion expand outwards at approximately 60 MPH, which Flash can easily escape. However, in order to [[OutrunTheFireball outrun the shockwave]], he would still have to be far enough away at the moment of detonation that he didn't get instantly vaporized by the [[{{Pun}} flash]] of the initial detonation, but Barry (and Caitlin!) were still within line-of-sight.
