Trivia[edit]
- The title references the fact that Team Flash paid the piper (Hartley) by saving his boyfriend's life.
- When Godspeed fights Barry and knocked him off, the animation of their fight is the same used in the Into the Void episode but is also completely opposite.
- This time, the fight takes place during the night.
- The roles of who chased and who's hunted are also reversed since Godspeed was now the one that hunted Barry instead of the other way around.
- This episode used some archive footage from The Sound and the Fury to explain why Hartley hated Team Flash.
