The episode is likely the midseason finale for the series.
The title “The Chicago Way” comes from Brian De Palma’s 1987 film The Untouchables, in which Sean Connery’s Jimmy Malone memorably said, “You wanna get Capone? Here’s how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue! That’s the Chicago way, and that’s how you get Capone!”
(Some of you may remember Courteney Cox doing a hilariously bad impression of this line in Cougar Town.)
Ralph Hemecker, who has directed a number of episodes of The Flash is no comics newbie: the Legends of Tomorrow director, who will tackle a script from Sarah Nicole Jones and Ray Utarnachitt, has been doing this stuff since Witchblade in 2000.
