* LetsYouAndHimFight: In the flashforwards, Roy and Dinah vs. Connor and Blackstar provide the main action of the episode due to the below-mentioned PoorCommunicationKills.



* PoorCommunicationKills: The fight between William’s group and Blackstar and Connor could’ve easily been avoided if they exchanged information, or at the very least if Mia and John Jr. used their given names rather than aliases.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While they might have been a bit rude about it, Stanley and his grandparents had a point about Oliver and Felicity being ill-equipped to give the boy a normal life. They concede it after a while and let him go with them.

Added DiffLines:

* NoJustNoReaction: Future William has this reaction when Blackstar asks if his interest in Felicity's whereabout is due to them being past lovers.


Added DiffLines:

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Downplayed and justified; the Claytons (who aren't Ollie's in-laws in the technical meaning) don't mince words on their opinion of Oliver's eligibility to raise William, and considering everything that's happened in the last two years they're aren't entirely wrong. They don't even ''need'' to point out that Samantha, their daughter ultimately died as a result of being in Oliver's proximity, although it's clearly on their minds as well.

* CallForward: During his cameo, Captain Singh mentions that Central City's own serial killer, Cicada, has sent a bunch of cops to the hospital, just before the Flash showed up. Thing is, the audience hasn't seen this happen yet as Cicada has only targeted metas so far, so good luck trying to figure out when this episode takes place.
