Untouchable

Not to be confused with the Arrow episode "Unthinkable".

"You guys stay here and try to figure out how to catch somebody we can't touch."

—Joe West

Synopsis

Barry and the team at S.T.A.R. Labs work together to bring down Clive Yorkin, a criminal meta-human who is methodically killing people by causing them to decompose at an accelerated rate.

Trivia

• When this episode was broadcast on The CW, the credits concludes with a promotional tie-in to The LEGO Batman Movie that featured LEGO variants of the end cards in addition to Batman's cameo in the Berlanti Productions logo.
• Cisco quoted "May the odds be ever in your favor", a line from The Hunger Games series.
• Clive Yorkin commended Julio Mendez on singing a rendition of "Dock of the Bay", a song by Otis Redding.
• The proverb "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" by educational writer W. E. Hickson is quoted.
• Al Capone's Earth-19 counterpart being referenced on the episode named Untouchable might be a reference to The Untouchables, which was also referenced multiple times on "The Chicago Way", an episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow featuring Earth One's Capone as a supporting antagonist.
• Cisco vibing the alternate Earth to view Flashpoint provides an explanation for how he was able to remember Reverse-Flash killing him even though the timeline had been changed, where in the new timeline, his death never occurred.
