It seems Barry is so desperate to save Iris that he was seriously thinking about letting Plunder escape, if it meant a future where Savitar murders the love of his life never occurs. However, his momentary lapse in judgement was on the verge of proving fatal until Kid Flash arrives in a nick of time.
As we've seen in previous seasons, Barry can sometimes be his own worst enemy. Is his knowledge of the future the element that will prove to be his own undoing?

BARRY FIGHTS FOR IRIS — Barry (Grant Gustin) is tormented by his vision of the future where Iris (Candice Patton) is murdered by Savitar. When a criminal named Plunder (guest star Stephen Huszar) shows up in Central City, Barry recalls the villain’s presence in his vision of the future and fears that if he catches Plunder, it will cement Iris’ fate. Confused about Barry’s hesitation to stop Plunder, Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) decides to step in as Kid Flash. Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) offers Julian (Tom Felton) a job. Millicent Shelton directed the episode written by Grainne Godfree & David Kob.
