Amy Gray makes reference to Providence in episode 3.18, "The Justice League of America". In this episode, Amy is attending her Harvard Law School class' tenth reunion, and her old friends can't seem to remember that Amy has moved to Hartford, Connecticut. They are stuck in the rut of thinking that she still resides in Providence, Rhode Island. Finally, Amy is pushed to state, "It's Hartford, David. Providence is a whole other universe."
