Barry looks on in amazement as he sees parallels of his battle against Zoom as Kid Flash takes on The Rival. The black-clad speedster doesn't seem to think much of Wally, possibly indicating that he only views Jay Garrick as a worthy opponent.
We've already seen one glimpse of Barry's civilian Flashpoint life and here we get a glimpse of what it's like to be standing on the other side of "The Flash's" superheroics.
Given how much Barry has suffered at the hands of his would-be mentors, Wells and Zoom, shouldn't he step up to help Wally take down The Rival? We'll find out tonight at 8/7c on The CW as season 3 kicks off with an alternate reality adventure that will surely have lasting repercussions...right?
WHAT WOULD YOU SACRIFICE TO HAVE EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER WANTED? — Barry (Grant Gustin) is living his dream life – his parents are alive, he’s asked Iris West (Candice Patton) on a date and he can finally be a normal guy as Central City has another speedster, Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale), running around saving the city. When Barry starts forgetting parts of his old life, the Reverse Flash (guest star Matt Letscher) taunts his nemesis and tells him that there will be serious repercussions for Barry and the ones he loves if he continues to live in this alternate universe. In addition to losing his memories, his powers will also start to fade. When disaster strikes, Barry must decide if he wants to continue to live in this world as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash. Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Brooke Roberts.
