Added DiffLines:

* BaitAndSwitch: In the final scene of the episode, Taylor returns to Iris' office mentioning about investigating the other people working with The Flash, implying that Iris will take this information and use it to come up with costumes and secret identities for Allegra and Cecile. However, this is rendered moot when it's shown that Iris herself has been whisked off to the Still Force.

Added DiffLines:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: One might think that Cisco and Ralph would have come to Frost's funeral, or at the very least sent messages of support to Caitlin, given that Ralph in particular was very close to Frost and Cisco and Caitlin were best friends. While obviously the actors can't show up, it would've been good for them to be at least mentioned.

* MundaneUtility: Barry beats reigning champion Korber in a CCPD competitive eating challenge despite having no background or experience in the sport, presumably due to his super-fast metabolism--and no one there suspects it's due to superpowers (as he's not actually using his SuperSpeed while eating, even though he presumably could) and presumably thinks he's just naturally gifted (other than Kramer, who already knows his identity).

Added DiffLines:

* BreatherEpisode: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]]. On the one hand, with the threat of such an intense and dangerous enemy like Deathstorm firmly in the rear-view mirror and the episode's only threat treated as nothing more than a minor annoyance, it's definitely a much calmer episode than the StoryArc immediately preceding it. On the other hand, the entire episode's tone is somber and dour as the team has to process Frost's death, and the episode's final scene with Iris reminds viewers that even with Deathstorm gone, the ''other'' major danger this season--Iris' time sickness--still very much remains a serious problem with no clear solution yet in sight.

* ItsAlwaysSunnyAtFunerals: Frost's funeral takes place on a beautiful day, as does the afterward reception at Joe's place. Unusually for this trope the funeral isn't actually held in a cemetery, but in a funeral parlor.

Added DiffLines:

* WorfHadTheFlu: Team Flash can't subdue a relatively "simple" villain like Blockbuster in the beginning because they're still dealing with their grief over Frost's death, something which Barry himself notes.
