Honestly it’s just an estimated guess on the name Judy Garrick and then how it says “lost daughters”. It seemed like the only conclusion to make, because as far as I know there is not any other Garrick’s out there.
I assumed that it was some sort of by product of crisis rewrite that created Jay and Joan’s daughter in some time displaced event similar to Wing being lost but still a teenager.

"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
Okay, a couple thoughts:
1) It's incredibly cynical, but my first thought was "Johns wanted a GA Flash legacy for his Stargirl show, but there wasn't one in canon. So, he just said 'Screw it, I'll just make one'". I guess we'll see if that turns out to be true.
2) Holy crap! Secret made an appearance post-YJ?!
Flashpoint was a great story, but DC really need to come up with something new. They also have to stop trying to make Thomas a thing.
See, I'm of the opinion that Flashpoint was fine as a story, but it should never had been used to usher in a DCU reboot and it DEFINITELY doesn't need a sequel!!

I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
Flashpoint was like many other Geoff Johns arcs: interesting beginning, then treading water in the middle until reaching a rushed/muddled ending.
It also seemed like a reworking of The Wizard of Oz <MGM movie version> with Barry Allen in the Dorothy/Judy Garland role.
I didn't buy/read all of Blackest Night.
I was just getting back into regular comic book buying / reading then (after about a 15 year break) and had limited access to buying new comic books at that time. Only bought the last two issues of that title (newsstand versions, not from comic book shops).
I don't know anybody who asked for this or even wants this.
I would only accept this if it wipes away all the problems the original Flashpoint caused for the DCU.
Either Johns is trying to do a last minute victory lap over Didio's firing (hence '5G averted') or they are just using his name because it sells and someone else is actually writing the story with minimal input from Johns.
