It's been a long summer, but the Scarlet Speedster (Grant Gustin) is finally back and this season looks to be his most trying yet as he works against the clock to prevent the upcoming Crisis, but despite all his - and Team Flash's - efforts, it doesn't look like anything can be done to stop his imminent demise.
Next week, Barry takes a trip to the future to catch a glimpse of the coming end of days and it looks like his ill-advised journey will put him on a collision course with Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp) and his mother's Earth-90 doppelgänger Joan Williams (Michelle Harrison), who may be able to help him find what he's looking for.

Matching wits with The Thinker, who by season’s end had harnessed the powers of all twelve bus metas he created, stretched Team Flash to their limits, but with the help of some new allies, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and company were able to put a stop to the Enlightenment and save Central City once again. However, with the arrival of Barry and Iris’ speedster daughter, Nora, who arrived from the future admitting to having made a “big mistake,” things are anything but status quo.
