Savitar was trapped within the Speed Force in a prison that was created for him, but when Flashpoint came into existence, it presented him with the means of escape. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what Savitar wanted. When Wally learns of the pieces’ existence, he determines that the way to prove himself to the others is to cast it into the Speed Force. Caitlin kept a shard of it, hoping that it could be the key to getting rid of her powers. Team Flash finds out that the entirety of the philosopher’s stone wasn’t in fact deposited into the Speed Force. Wally starts having visions of Savitar, who tells him that he isn’t fast enough to save Iris. Unfortunately, it’s not going to be that easy. The second half of the season finds Team Flash trying to change everyday events that could potentially change the future that Barry saw. In doing so, Barry accidentally travels to a couple of months into the future and witness Savitar murder Iris. Team Flash figures out that if they send the philosopher’s stone into the Speed Force, Savitar will be locked away for good. Turns out Alchemy is Barry’s coworker, Julian, who was possessed by Savitar upon finding a philosopher’s stone years ago. Savitar is the self-acclaimed god of speed who becomes the main antagonist of the season. Alchemy has the ability to restore the powers to people who had them in Flashpoint, including Rival and Wally. Team Flash also recruits a new Harrison Wells, H.R., who is a goofball and not really a scientist. Cisco still harbors some anger toward Barry for quite a while. Iris says that any of them might’ve made the same choice. Barry reveals his decision to the team and though they are initially upset, they forgive Barry. Barry gets a lesson from Jay Garrick on changing the past, saying the more he tries to fix things, the more fractured time gets. Iris and Joe don’t talk to each other because Joe kept Iris’ mother’s fate a secret. Cisco lost his brother and is upset with Barry for not going back in time to save him. But changing the past had serious ramifications. Now that things are somewhat back to normal, Barry tries to live out his life. In the end, Wally is in a coma and unlikely to recover after a battle with Rival, so Barry makes the decision to reverse Flashpoint. Eobard tells Barry that he’ll soon forget everything about his previous life and will lose his speed. Barry starts using his speed to help this new Flash, who is Wally West, but the more he uses it, the faster he burns through his powers. The Rival has been causing some serious trouble and the resident Flash of Central City (that isn’t Barry) hasn’t been able to apprehend him. Everything is going great until an enemy speedster comes into town. Now, Barry has created what Reverse-Flash has christened ‘Flashpoint.’ In it, Barry lives a happy life with both of his parents. In a bad place, Barry made the decision to run back in time and save his mom during the Season 2 finale of The Flash.
