Barry gets Diggle, and he vomits, but he ordains them. Felicity asks Oliver to marry her then. He agrees and they get married as well.
Analysis
Boy was it awesome to see the heroes fight back against the bad guys after being beaten in part 2 and part 3. I lost count of how many heroes were in each scene. Seeing all the characters interact was the best part. Ray and Eobard meeting up briefly was awesome. Seeing Alex meet up with Kara again was awesome. Seeing Snart and Mick again. Jax and Stein made everyone cry this episode. Their scenes are pure tearjerking. The variation of his theme while he dies is fantastically done. The theme of love will definitely unsettle fans but was done very well throughout the crossover.
Easter Eggs
- Ray references his time that he fought the Leviathan in an episode of Legends of Tomorrow.
- Ray references the defeat of Eobard on Legends of Tomorrow season 2 when he says that he thought that Eobard was dead.
- Gideon on the Nazi Waverider is voiced by Susanna Thompson aka Moira Queen.
- Kara enticing Overgirl to fight is done just like Superman with Zod from Superman 2.
- Diggle vomits when Barry speeds him to the park. He has vomited several times when Barry speeds him off to some place.
- Felicity references back to season 4 when Cupid tried to kill them at their fake wedding.
- Black Canary calls Metallo Terminator which amuses Cisco.
- Cisco says that flying he waverider is like playing Star Raiders on he Atari.
- Supergirl flying Overgirl into space and falling back down to earth only to be caught by a fellow hero is similar to Tony Stark flying the missile into space and falling down to earth before Hulk catches him in The Avengers.
- Honorable Mention: “Since we don’t have any rings just yet.” -John Diggle: Can someone just introduce Green Lantern into the Arrowverse already?
