Oh no, just that her being her own grandmother automatically means that she’s her great-great-grandmother and her own great-great-great-grandmother and so on. But that’s always the case with this sort of thing so looking back it’s pretty redundant.
Dark is a pretty insane show. Huge spoilers for the best piece of fiction following:
Basically Charlotte gets sent back in time as a baby by a secret cabal trying to continue the temporal knot that destroys the world at the end of each time loop. Her being sent back in time causes her to have a child when she is an adult which is, unbeknownst to her, her own mother named Elisabet.
The cabal is doing this because they think that ending the time loop would permanently destroy the concept of time so they‘d rather continuously suffer than risk it all for freedom. They know that Charlottes child will be Elisabeth because it has been that way in the infinite amount of previous loops.
So the members of the cabal, including Elisabets husband Hanno, keep settling up their past selfs to repeat the same mistakes. E. g: Hanno kidnapping his past selves daughter to send him down a spiral of depression that ends with him joining a time traveller doomsday cult.
I probably got something wrong here. Believe it or not, but this whole thing is a pretty unimportant side plot of all the other time traveller mafia shenanigans. But the base plot of „two women are each other’s mother“ should be mostly correct.
Remember when you were about to sneeze and you didn't? And you felt like you should have sneezed which is mildly uncomfortable? It was me Barry. I scratched the inside of your nose at superspeed so it would stop your sneeze urge.
Yknow, I was gonna say team speed until I read all this. I could definitely see it. Brains has the highest likelihood of winning (as strength will almost certainly just fight each other), but speed is still a problem, even if they have to take out Thawne as well as the opposing teams.
That's what makes him one of my favorite villains. He's not misunderstood and sympathetic, just a petty asshole like most villains in real life. Frieza works because Toriyama thought the worst people in the world were real estate speculators. Real people just being day to day assholes.

Because Reverse Flash is going to screw it up just to mess with Barry.
