EPISODE SUMMARY:
Zoom comes to Barry and demands a race to determine who is faster, and states he will kill everyone Barry loves if he refuses. Wells realizes that Zoom stole a magnatar from Mercury Labs that will allow him to destroy every world in the multiverse if he and Barry can create enough energy from their race to power the device. When Barry refuses to back out of the race, the team decides to lock him in a containment cell for his own protection. The team develops their own plan, which sends Zoom back to Earth-2, but Joe is pulled in with him. In Earth-2, Zoom reveals that the man in the iron mask is the real Jay Garrick. Wally releases Barry to help bring back Joe. Barry agrees to race Zoom if he returns Joe unharmed. As Barry and Zoom race, the magnatar begins to charge. Barry takes out Zoom, and creates a time remnant of himself to stop the magnatar. Defeated, Barry allows the time wraiths to take Zoom. The real Jay is revealed to be Henry's doppelganger. Wells and Jesse return to Earth-2 so they can help Jay return to Earth-3. Unable to handle his father's death, Barry travels back in time and stops Reverse-Flash from killing his mother.
West x Allen is now real. Finally.
We don't get to see Wally or Jesse with powers, and it's not even confirmed if they have them or not.
Zoom defeated and carried off by Time Wraiths....*** epic! I wonder if they turn him into the Black Flash...he sort of looked like it as they carried him into the portal. I mean look at this:
The man in the mask was Jay Garrick, from Earth-3, who looks like Henry Allen. I wonder how many people guessed correctly. I hope they bring him back in Season 3.
That scene where everyone said goodbye...Jesse hugging Wally, Dr. Wells hugging Barry...the feels. "I'm a better man than I was when I first got here, and it's because of you."
Good job there at the end, Barry. You just undid everything in this past year, and set the
Flashpoint Paradox, and by extension the
New 52, into motion. Season 3 is gonna be one hell of a doozy, I'm sure. I wonder how they are going to set it up. Will we see Thomas Wayne Batman, maybe? The Aquaman + Wonder Woman world war? Probably not, as the show/The CW most likely cannot have the rights, licenses, etc to do that. Maybe this is how they will bring Supergirl into the CW Universe/Arrowverse/DCW. Maybe this is how they just give Wally and Jesse powers. The timeline is changed, and maybe they just have them when Barry gets back to the present.
Maybe this is how they bring Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl in for that huge crossover they are planning?
SO MUCH SPECULATION.
