* RootingForTheEmpire: Given how Becky's life ''sucked'' and how she's not really evil, it's easy to root for her; the only thing she did wrong in this episode was to rob a bank (since she really can't turn her power off) - you really can't blame her for telling Barry it's time everyone else experience a bit of bad luck after how sucky her life was until her good luck started causing a airplane to possibly crash into the city and killing hundreds because she doesn't want to shut her powers off.

* TheWoobie: No one should be allowed to have a string of bad luck like Becky had. The numerous misfortunes in her flashback, which happens to [[BreadEggsMilkSquick include]] the new accident that gave her superpowers are just the latest in a miserable life.

** After two seasons of doom and gloom in Central City, this episode is quite easily the funniest in the series in a long while, and possibly a harbinger of the return of the LighterAndSofter Flash that has been sorely missed since the first season, and hinted at during the last two episodes, is back and here to stay.
** Cisco mentions he hasn’t removed all the gadgets from Barry’s suit, leaving the door open for some more awesome upgrades to manifest in the future.

* HilariousInHindsight: The beginning of the episode has a [[TakeThat potshot]] against Sarasota, Florida; this also happens to be from where fellow ''Arrowverse'' actor [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow Jes Macallan]] hails, who debuted only a couple weeks before this episode aired.

** WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: What she becomes after getting her powers. Devoe himself admits that she might be the most powerful meta, and not without reason, as it's shown that, when getting enough good luck herself, the bad luck's effects can cover the whole city.

* BrokenBase: Wally leaving Central City. He's been in the background ever since Barry returned from the Speed Force; especially since Wally is one of the most beloved characters in DC lore it just reeks of TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter. Though some hold out hope that this means he's being transferred to ''Legends of Tomorrow''. Given how little screen time and character development he has received compared in the wake and abundance of ongoing storylines of season 1 characters like Barry, Iris, Cisco, Caitlin and so on, the fandom does seem to be gravitating to the latter option in hopes of allowing his character to bloom without being overshadowed by [[TheHero Barry]].
