A MOMENT IN TIME GETS BARRY ONE STEP CLOSER TO ZOOM; ANDY MIENTUS RETURNS AS HARTLEY RATHAWAY – After the shocking revelation that Zoom is Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears), Barry (Grant Gustin) is more determined than ever to get back to Earth-2 to stop Zoom forever. Desperate to find a way to increase his speed, Barry decides to travel back in time and masquerade as his earlier self in order to get his arch-nemesis, Dr. Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne (Tom Cavanagh), to teach him how to run faster. However, things don’t go as planned and Barry is stunned to face familiar foe Hartley Rathaway (guest star Andy Mientus), as well as old friend Eddie Thawne (guest star Rick Cosnett). Iris (Candice Patton) makes peace with her past in order to embrace her future. Alice Troughton directed the episode penned by Aaron Helbing and Todd Helbing (#217).

Last year, the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark matter storm that struck forensic scientist Barry Allen — bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive. But Barry wasn’t the only person who was given extraordinary abilities that night. The dark matter also created meta-humans — many of whom have wreaked havoc on the city. With the help of the S.T.A.R Labs team, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon and Dr. Harrison Wells, Barry protects the people of Central City from these powerful new threats as The Flash. Following the defeat of Allen's arch-nemesis Eobard Thawne (aka Reverse Flash), Team Flash must quickly turn their attention to the singularity swirling high above Central City, consuming everything in its path. Armed with the heart of a hero and the ability to move at super speeds, Barry charged into the eye of the singularity, but can he actually save his city from impending doom?

Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/Flash

Can't wait to see how Eddie factors into this! Excited to see him back for a bit!

Sweet! Sounds like a pretty damn good episode. Between this and the Supergirl crossover. Gonna be a good Flash week.

GhostDog - 3/23/2016, 2:46 PM

Really excited to see Eddie's involvement in all of this! Love when Flash does time travel

SKOne - 3/23/2016, 2:56 PM

After all his screwing with history (and there's apparently more later in the season), it would not surprise me if Flash ends up being the one who founds the Time Masters in the Arrowverse.

flashygurl - 3/23/2016, 5:46 PM

Considering the Flash, so far, hasn't had any lead in to the crossover, the season might truly end with him getting "lost".

Supergirl's Earth might be the first stop.

Lot of potential...

So the Wraith is basically a cross between The Dahaka and Black Flash?
Eh.

Hate Eddie, hope he dies.
I bet hes the reverse flash!

Luminus - 3/23/2016, 10:46 PM

I'm confused. If the Flash travels into the past, shouldn't the other Flash be there, too? Is this the Quantum Leap type of time travel?

What i don't get is knowing there is a multi-verse... having travelled to Earth-2 and seeing another version of himself, friends, acquaintances & loved ones... Why is devastation the first thing to come to mind having discovered Jay is Zoom. Couldn't it be another version of Jay... from any other part of the multi-verse?

Looks like Barrys going back in time again but to when the old Thawne Wells and Eddie were around.

dont change too much Barry!
