Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg says:
Winn gradually introduces his new lady friend to the group, adding that there’s a big Winn-Lyra-Jimmy storyline. he three of them try crimefighting as a trio, which doesn’t necessarily go well. She kind of becomes the Yoko of the team.
Also this episode will cover the necessity of a fair and balanced press media. Andrew Kreisberg adds:
[Journalistic Integrity is] actually been very important to us, especially in the times we now find ourselves living in; we’re one of the few shows on television that actually has a journalist as a lead character. We really get a chance to talk about the importance of journalism, and the importance of journalism ethics, and how important [it is to have] the objective truth be out there now.
