ItвЂ™s those little moments that were left on the cutting room floor. Kreisberg: There was a little exchange between Sara (Caity Lotz) and Kara (Melissa Benoist) where Sara says вЂњhey, do you want to get a drink when this is all over,вЂќ and Kara says, вЂњI think you wanna meet my sister.вЂќ What were some of the scenes that you wanted to get in to the episodes that were left on the cutting room floor? Guggenheim: вЂњLegendsвЂќ operates different than вЂњArrow,вЂќ which is all about people keeping secrets and secrets coming out, but I will say that weвЂ™re setting up вЂњLegends'вЂќ mid-season finale where the ramifications of that secret do come into play. With Stein and Jax (Franz Drameh) keeping SteinвЂ™s daughter a secret cause strife within the group? Kreisberg: The message from the future relates to Flashpoint, but it also may relate to something else coming up. Was the message that Barry sent from the future talking about Flashpoint, or was it about more changes he makes sometime in the future? They deal with it in some humorous ways actually, for example Curtis (Echo Kellum) is concerned that maybe he was straight originally. Guggenheim: вЂњArrowвЂ™sвЂќ mid-season finale has a fair amount of discussion about Flashpoint given the fact that the crossover outed it to the вЂњArrowвЂќ characters that werenвЂ™t Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). Flashpoint wonвЂ™t loom as large as the challenge that presents itself in Episode 9. The mid-season finale, Episode 9, kinda creates a new problem for our heroes that they werenвЂ™t anticipating - something that theyвЂ™ve never faced before. Kreisberg: ThereвЂ™s a villain coming up thatвЂ™s another one of those husk villains created by Alchemy, so thereвЂ™s that to deal with. Would you consider this the button on Flashpoint, or will there continue to be more ramifications going forward? In terms of вЂњLegends,вЂќ the two big takeaways are SteinвЂ™s daughter - you havenвЂ™t seen the last of her, youвЂ™ll see her again in a few episodes - as well as Ray (Brandon Routh) getting his suit back. The events in Episode 8 forced him to double-down on his mission, and also a reaffirmation of his bond with Thea - because they chose each other. Guggenheim: With respect to вЂњArrow,вЂќ going into Episode 9 youвЂ™ll see that Oliver has a new sense of purpose.

It was really Barry and Oliver who had to go on a journey, and she brought the fun and charm and kickaвЂ“ness. With вЂњ Supergirl,вЂќ it doesnвЂ™t really have that big an impact. They need to be, because theyвЂ™re going to confront Savitar in Episode 9. Their friendship has been renewed through the course of these episodes, and when we come back in Episode 9 Team Flash is in a really good place.

Kreisberg: As far as вЂњFlashвЂќ is concerned, in Episode 7 Cisco and Barry were probably at their lowest point - because Cisco learned that Dante had died as a result of Flashpoint. What will be the repercussions, or fallout, in the upcoming episodes?

Earlier this week, at a press screening and Q&A Variety attended, Guggenheim and fellow producer Andrew Kreisberg talked about those repercussions, whether this was the button on Flashpoint, and more вЂ¦ The crossover may be over, but the events in вЂњInvasion!вЂќ will be felt across the shows going forward.
