1This crossover is more lighthearted than ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX'', but is not without ugly moments.

6* Oliver is constantly badmouthed by Lois and Iris, but he never gets to speak his side of the story.
7* Iris is afraid of losing the kindhearted side of Barry if he becomes too much like Oliver.

11* Felicity is shaken to realize Iris was able to pick up on something being off about her husband much sooner than her, and wonders if this means her relationship with Oliver is broken beyond repair.
12* The way Barry says "Dad?" when he's introduced to the Flash of Earth-90 brings a viewer back to when he met the real Jay Garrick back in ''[[Series/TheFlash2014 The Flash]]'''s "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S2E23TheRaceOfHisLife The Race of His Life]]."
13** Furthermore, the Monitor does a [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Thanos Finger Snap]] against Earth-90!Barry, leaving his fate unknown to the people he just met and, more importantly, to an alternative son who already witnessed his own father's murder, but there's no time to mourn as a second rewritten reality is put into place on Earth-1.

17* The Elseworlds Earth-1 version of Alex Danvers is still in the closet, and apparently dating guys she has no attraction towards while working for a narcissist who, unbeknownst to her, is controlling reality, when all she really wants is to help people.
18* Barry and Kara are spared from having to [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice themselves]] to save reality, but with a costly price. We don't know ''what'' [[DealWithTheDevil deal]] Oliver made with the Monitor, but it's implied the price will be Oliver's own life.
19** Or, [[AmbiguousSituation worse (given the timing a certain ending scene)]], the time table of a certain ''[[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths other]]'' event being accelerated... ''The Flash'' revealed that the Crisis was moved from 2024 to 2019.
