Who are you?

[Eddie] Do you believe me now?

This is impossible.

Eddie?

I shot myself with this bullet.

I need to find out what happened.

I need to know how I'm alive.

Listen, I believe you.

But this city
is a lightning rod for insanity.

You could be a clone or a cyborg.

We need to get you to a hospital
and get you checked out.

No, I need to find the Flash.

He'll know what's going on.

[Korber] No, listen!

We can't jump to conclusions
without investigating.

If you're really Eddie,
then you're a detective and you know this.

If?

I am Eddie Thawne!

I'm alive and I need to know why!

[energy whooshing]

What the hell?

[Korber screams]

Korber!

[Chester] How nuts is this?

The Negative Speed Force
is attacking us across space and time?

Hey, Khione, how's Iris holdin' up?

Allegra's with her at the hospital.

Says she's safe
and her contractions are steady.

I told Allegra to tell Iris that we will
find Barry before that baby's born.

Good call.
She's got enough on her mind already.

-[whooshing]
-Argh!

-[groans]
-[whooshing stops]

I just got hit with a huge wave of terror.

[whooshing]

Nora, what's wrong?

The Negative Speed Force.

It cloaked Barry with its own dark energy.

The cobalt radiation.

We found it in the loft
when Barry disappeared.

And now, it's causing him
to bounce across time.

I briefly sensed him
through the radiation.

I'm not sure how long
it will take him to get there…

but he's heading toward 2049.

First, he was taken to the past,
then forced to the present.

And now, he's going to the future.

And so is the crystal.

It'll choose another victim
and attack Barry there.

[groans]

I can't help him anymore. Only you can.

How?

You have to find a way.

If Barry dies
and the Speed Force is extinguished,

then this timeline, and everything in it,
will be erased forever.

[screams]

[future Chester whoops]

All right, party people! That's a wrap!

The Chronarch is no longer the monarch.

Come on home!

Was that schway, or what?

Not bad for your first mission
as team leader.

I know your dad's all the way
in outer space,

but I can feel how proud
he is of you from the Watchtower.

I mean, that was fun,
but I'm ready for Dad to come home.

Hey, babe, the way you went
supernova on him at the end,

it's like you were trying to blast
that man into the 64th century.

Well, actually,
that's exactly what I was trying to do.

-Of course.
-Of course.

I think it's adorable
that after all of these years of marriage,

you two still have that spark.

[future Cecile] Oh,
speaking of spark, Chester,

how's the nano-welding
comin' along on my new super suit?

It should be ready this afternoon.

[computer beeping]

[sighs]

I swear, if our Big Bad
has escaped from A.R.G.U.S. already…

No, it's an energy surge coming from
upstairs at the Flash Museum.

I told you it wasn't a good idea
to put a museum on top of our secret lair.

No, baby, it's genius.

Who'd look for the Flash
under his own museum?

I know this might sound weird, but…

I'm looking for the Flash.

You're in luck. He's right there.

[man over PA] The Flash
battled numerous threats to our city.

But the Flash's greatest nemesis
was the murderous speedster known only as

the Reverse-Flash,

who returned to Central City
time and time again.

What? This can't be right.

[gun fires]

[Cisco] If Eddie dies,
he'll never be born.

He's being erased from existence.

It didn't happen like this.

I saw the Reverse-Flash die.

I killed him.

I died a hero.

[blonde Nora] Dad!
Oh, my God. I found you.

Who are you?

It's me, Dad.

I'm your daughter.

That… can't be. I…

I don't have a daughter.

But you always wanted to have one.

And now, you can.

[people screaming]

All you have to do is come with me.

-[computer beeping]
-Whoa.

Okay, this energy signature
just spiked through the roof.

I'll go check it out.

-Sir, are you okay?
-What?

What just happened?

Oh, my God.

Eddie?

Eddie Thawne?

[future Allegra] This is insane.

Eddie Thawne died 34 years ago.

How is he alive,
and why hasn't he aged a day?

And why is he here?

I have no idea.
But all his fingerprints and DNA match.

Except he is giving off high levels
of Hawking radiation,

the kind you only find
inside Singularities.

So, you think Eddie's
causing these portals to open?

Maybe it's subconscious.

Maybe it's his emotions triggering them?

I was a black hole once, happens.

You know what?

I think I could work up a cuff for him.

Something that'll destabilize
the quantum field around him.

I'm gonna go talk to the black hole.

So, do you guys finally believe me?

Or do you need me to pee into a cup?

According to all our tests,
you're telling the truth.

You're really are Eddie Thawne.

I know.

So, who the hell are you?

And how did you know who I am?

You're…

Barry's daughter?

But I thought…

I know, you probably recognize me from

when we first met.

2013, New Year's Eve?
I was one of the new interns at C.C.P.D.

I remember that.

Yeah, we had to travel back to 2013
to save the timeline.

I'm sorry, are you okay?

That thing I saw in the Museum…

I also saw one at the cemetery.

It killed Captain Korber.

It was a Singularity.

Thank God it didn't keep growing.

One like that
almost destroyed the whole city on, um…

On the day you died.

[people screaming]

Yesterday,

I thought I was a man named
Malcolm Gilmore.

Turns out that whole life was a lie,
and in reality,

I was a dead man.

Some idiot who killed himself to stop
a supervillain that didn't stay dead.

[Nora] I know.

But if you didn't do
what you did in The Pipeline,

-my dad would've died that day.
-Maybe.

Or maybe I could've had a whole life.

A family.

Don't get me wrong,
I'm grateful to be back from the dead,

but there's being alive,
and there's what makes life worth living.

And Iris, your mom,

that was my reason, and…

without that, I just…
I don't know why I'm here.

I can't imagine how you must be feeling.

But I know better than most,

you have been given the rarest gift,

a second chance.

You just have to decide
how you're gonna use it.

That does it. We are officially

out of ways and ideas to help Barry
in 2049 while we are stuck here.

Mark, you were possessed by the crystal.

Did that offer any insight?

Just that it's powerful as hell
and it hates Barry.

While I was trapped inside,
all I could think about was…

Was how much I love that guy.

He's given me so many second chances,

tenth chances.

I didn't deserve any of them.

I guess my love wasn't enough
to fight the crystal's hate.

[sighs]

Mark, I just… I wish I would have known.

You know, I could've used my powers

to help boost your empathy
and maybe fight it off.

[snaps fingers]

Maybe you still can.

I mean, when Barry went to the past,
you could still sense him.

So, your powers work across time.

So what? What good does that do?

I can feel something in the future.
I can't change it.

Not from here,

but you've projected your consciousness

into other minds before.

But what if you projected
your present consciousness…

into your future body?

I could help Barry fight his next battle.

You could save his life.

Cecile, are your powers really strong
enough to do that?

Only one way to find out.

Dad, we've got a Code Scarlet.

I can't talk about it
until we're on a secure channel.

Something big is up.

An old friend of yours has stopped by.

I'm on my way to Mom's right now,

but you'd better get here
as fast as you can.

[Gideon] Message should
reach the Watchtower

as soon as it emerges
from the dark side of the Moon

in 12 hours, 52 minutes.

Good luck, Nora.
[distorting] Luck-- Nora--

[electricity crackling]

[ominous voice] Nora.

Nora.

She's a pretty amazing person
to try to forget, huh?

That was a long time ago.

For her. For you, it was yesterday.

My mom told me a story about you guys.

That even though
she was destined to be Iris West-Allen,

you decided to be together anyway.

"Screw the future."

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

I wouldn't want another Singularity
to open up in the Cortex.

What do you mean?

Those Singularities
that have been appearing,

they're tied to your emotions.
Did nobody tell you?

Wait, so,

what happened to Captain Korber,
that's my fault?

You didn't mean to do it, did you?

Oh, my God.

I got her killed.

Nora, you gotta help me.

There must be some way to fix this, right?

A way to undo this?

[Nora] I'm not sure.

You thought
you were Malcolm Gilmore, right?

When did you first realize
something was wrong?

I was at Mercury Labs.

Then we should start there.

-Okay, neural activity's stable.
-[computer beeping]

Empathic telemetry's looking good.

You sure this is gonna work?

Don't worry, Cecile. You can do this.

Right, and if by this, you mean

just go on and astrally project myself
into my future body,

protect Barry
from the Negative Speed Force,

and save all of temporal existence
before coming back

and teaching Jenna
her multiplication tables,

yeah, you're right that's…

easy. Easy-peasy.

Remember, you're there
not to find 2049 Barry.

You're there to protect our Barry.

[Cecile] Okay.

And any friend in the future
could be influenced by the crystal.

So, be careful who you trust.

Got ya.

Okay.

[machine whirring]

[gasps]

Wait.

It worked.

Oh! It worked.

Chester!

Oh, my gosh. This is so crazy.

[gasps] Damn! Looking good future me.

-What?
-[future Allegra] You okay, Cecile?

What? Huh?

Allegra.

-Hi.
-Hi.

So, have you guys seen Barry lately?

[chuckles] You mean,
since he's been in outer space?

Um… No.

Outer space.

Okay, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna…

I'm gonna go ahead.
I'mma hop on comms anyway.

Why?

No reason. Just, you know, call Joe,
Jenna, see what's for dinner.

Oh, I'm sure Joe would love that.

'Cause you haven't been up
in a while, right?

Right.

Hey, guys, you know what's funny?

Weirdly, I can't remember
the last time I was there.

Well, I don't blame you,

considering you're only there,
what, twice a year?

Yeah, about that.

I mean, between the Chronarch Wars

and helping the Savothian
freedom fighters, it's been a crazy year.

But I'm sure the fam understands that
we need a heavy hitter like you.

Yeah.

I'm sure the fam understands.

Are you okay, Cecile?

-[gasps]
-[Khione] Cecile, what happened?

I'm sorry. I can't do this.

[Chester] Wait, what?

Did you see Barry?

I said I'm sorry. I can't do it.

We're gonna have to find another way.

Okay. Somebody's going after her, right?

Goddess lady, looks like you're up.

Actually, I'm not the best person
for this one, Chester.

You are.

Oh, no… [scoffs]

-I don't know, guys.
-Don't be afraid.

Your heart is stronger than your fear.

And it'll know what to say to Cecile.

You see anything unusual?

Nope. But you're the detective.

Why do you think you're here?

Do you think you just randomly popped up

decades after you died, by coincidence?

No. There's no such thing
as a coincidence.

Then you must be here for a purpose.

Maybe it has something
to do with the other Thawnes.

They were a pretty big deal.

Or at least they were supposed to be.

I am from the future

and you are the only Thawne
to be all but forgotten by history.

A waste of a life, a waste of a man.

Eobard told me that.

-He was trying to get under my skin.
-And it worked, didn't it?

You proved him wrong
by throwing your life away.

But what if you had
the power to get that life back?

What do you mean?

The Flash gets his power
from the Speed Force.

But there's another side to the equation.

Another power that spent far too long
in the shadows,

forced into an unnatural balance.

It needs someone to stand up to the Flash.

And that should be you.

I don't understand.

-Are you talking about hurting your dad?
-Eddie.

Are you still this pathetic?

Are you "a waste of a man"
like Eobard said?

A loser?

A nobody, forgotten by history?

Are you still the idiot who died
trying to save a man who stole his life?

No, I'm not!

Then show me.

You know how things were supposed to be.

You can have that life, if you take it.

[ominous voice] Eddie, choose.

No. This can't be real.

I need some air.

[distorted] You were right.
He's what we need.

He's what we've been looking for.

And soon, he will be all ours.

[Barry panting]

Nora?

Dad!

What are you doing here?

We're under attack
by the Negative Speed Force.

It's throwing me across time,
using our friends to hurt us.

I'm just glad to see you.

Me too.

Argh!

No. Nora, this isn't you.

It's the Negative Speed Force.

[distorted] Oh, Barry.

So fast,

but somehow always so slow.

You never figured out

the most powerful form of hate
comes by corrupting love.

By twisting it into its negative.

You're not gonna make me hurt her.

Either you kill your daughter
or I kill you.

Both ways, I win.

Nora! What are you doing?

Eddie.

Eddie, I told you.

We're getting your life back!

No, this isn't right.

[Barry] Eddie,
I can't believe you're really here.

You sacrificed your life to save me.

I never thanked you.

You too, Barr.

These last couple days,
I feel like I've been losing my mind.

Do you live here?

I thought this was my home,

my life, but, um…

I was wrong.

[sobs] Everything's wrong.

Listen, Eddie.

It's gonna be all right.

I don't know how I got here either.

But the power in that crystal is attacking
me and my family through time.

Now, it's possessed my daughter.

I don't know how to stop it.

Maybe we can, together.

All I know is…

I used to be Malcolm Gilmore.

I had his life,

his memories, and…

that was a lie.

How is that possible?

[Barry] What the hell?

Wait, I've seen that happen before.

My driver's license.

I've seen reactions like this too…

caused by negative tachyons.

I think this place,

Malcolm's belongings, his life…

It's all made of negative tachyons.

Like a false reality
built for you to live in.

Well, who could've done that?

[Barry] There's only one Force
powerful enough.

The one inside that crystal.

The Negative Speed Force.

I think it brought you back to life.

Why would it bring me back?

Eddie, I think
the Negative Speech Force resurrected you,

so you could be its avatar.

[Chester] Hey.

Um…

Look, Mark is recalibrating
the jump configuration

in case you wanted to give it another go.

How are you feeling?

Like a failure.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I mean,

we all make mistakes on a mission, right?

I didn't make a mistake
on my mission, Chester.

I made a mistake in my life.

You know how Joe and I just

finally found a balance
between my duties here

and my time with my family?

So, I go home on the weekends.
I spend time with him and Jenna.

Well, in the future,

you guys told me that
I have only been home twice.

In a year.

Oh…

You see, um…

Well, maybe you have a good reason.

You know, maybe in the future,
you guys hang out in, like, a VR portal

-to make up for missing face time?
-No.

Chester, no! I know myself.

God, I've made this mistake before.

God, I wasn't there
for my own mother's death

because I was too busy working,
and now I just…

I have this awful feeling that I'm making
the same mistake again in the future.

Chester, I'm scared that
this choice that I made

to live this superhero life,
it means that I'm gonna lose my family.

I don't believe you.

Look, I get what you're saying.

But, listen, if past me could see me now,

here in S.T.A.R. Labs, working
with Team Flash, he'd freak out.

So, right now, you're making it work.

Balancing being a fracking superhero

and being with your family.

So, why not trust that you can do
the same thing 30 years from now too?

"Twice in a year."

That's what you said.

I don't care how long
you and Joe have been apart, Cecile.

Or why.

Look, because I know
you guys love each other.

Now, you just need to embrace
what's around the corner

and trust that this legacy
that you're building for yourself

is the right one, 'cause I, for one, do.

How can you be so sure?

Because your greatest strength
isn't some meta ability.

Cecile, it's your heart.

And your dedication
to the people that you love.

It's a real virtue.

[Eddie] Its avatar?

An avatar for what?

The Negative Speed Force,

it needs a surrogate on Earth
to carry out its plan.

That's what the crystal's been doing.

Joe, Mark, Nora. I mean,
it can only possess them temporarily.

It must need you to choose
to take on its power.

No, that can't be right.

The crystal showed me a better life.

One with a daughter
I was supposed to have.

Eddie, the Negative Speed Force is unlike
anything you've ever seen before.

It gets inside your head.

It feeds off hate and rage.

All right, everything about it is evil.

It brought me back from the dead.

Okay?

Is that evil?

And what if I choose
not to be the avatar, huh?

Do I go back to being dead?

No, we'll find a way to save you.
You could choose to start a new life.

[ominous voice] He lies.

Oh, really? 'Cause all your team
tried to do today was cuff me.

But that crystal, it actually
wants to help me get my life back.

A life I was a fool to give up.

[ominous voice] There's still time.

You don't believe that.

Don't tell me what I believe!

Did you know

I can hear it right now?

Sometimes, I can't tell
if it's the crystal's voice

or my own voice.

And I'm starting to wonder
what's the difference.

It's funny.

Returning from the dead

really has a way of making you realize
the mistakes you made in your old life.

My mistake was being a nobody.

Eddie, you weren't a nobody.

-All right, listen to me.
-No! You listen.

The second I died,
everyone forgot about me.

And you, Barry,

the man I sacrificed my life for,

you thanked me by stealing my fiancée.

Eddie…

But now, I have a chance to change that.

If I choose the crystal,

maybe I could be the hero.

I could get the girl

and the family I deserve.

Eddie, I know how much you're hurting.

The life you're talking about,
it's not yours.

Iris isn't your wife.

Nora is not your daughter.

But they were supposed to be!

And they still can be.

Eddie, you know that's not right.

You have a chance to start over,
to have your own life.

What would Iris want you to do?

[Negative Speed Nora] Flash!

Bring me the avatar!

Bring me Eddie Thawne
or I will tear this city apart!

Eddie, I have to go.

But I believe in you.

I know, no matter what happens…

you will make the right choice.

[Negative Speed Nora]
Flash! Do you hear me?

Bring me Eddie!

Where is the chosen one?

He's making his own choice.

Seems like that isn't you.

We'll see about that!

Let's get to work.

Yeah.

Nora.

Nora, please.

I know you're still in there.

I need your help to fight this thing.

[distorted] Sorry, Dad.

The little girl you loved is long gone.

[Eddie] Iris.

My beautiful Iris.

I'm sorry. I knocked,
but you didn't answer,

and I know you always leave
the key above the door.

Oh, my God. Eddie?

I can't imagine what you must be thinking.

And if you want me to leave, I'll go.
But it's me.

Your Eddie.

Look into my eyes. I know
that you know me better than anyone.

Who do you see?

Oh, my God, it is you.

How is this possible?

It's complicated.

But I'm done trying to solve this mystery.

I came here because
I have a decision to make.

And I knew I couldn't make it
without seeing you.

Even if it was for the last time.

What?

You just got here. Why don't you stay?

We can help you.

Trust me, I don't wanna go.

I just wanna do the right thing.

But sometimes
it's hard to know what that is,

especially with that voice in my head
pulling me in different directions.

Actually, on second thought,
I think I should stay.

Do you know why I'm about to win?

Because you don't have the guts
to kill your own flesh and blood.

Unlike Eddie.

That's why he's the ultimate avatar.

[groans]

And you'll die in the street
like an animal.

Hey, Blue Eyes.

Impressive.

But I know you, empath.

You won't hurt me.

You're right, I won't hurt Nora.

But for you, I'm gonna bring the pain.

Now, get out of her head!

And stay out!

Cecile.

Actually, call me Virtue.

Iris, I know this is a lot to take in.

My sacrifice robbed us of our future,

but this is a second chance
to put things right.

Iris West.

All you have to do is say "I do."

No, I don't. Eddie.

Eddie, you once said that there was always
three people in our relationship.

And you told me that's not true.

I was wrong. It was always Barry,

even back then,
if I didn't realize it myself.

You don't mean that.

Eddie, I'm not sure how you got here,
but something is wrong.

And if you let us, we will help you.

But I love Barry,

I love my family, and I love the life
that we've built together.

Now more than ever.

This is my future.

And I'm sorry that's not with you.

You're gonna regret that.

You, Barry,

and everything you both love.

[door slams]

Dad, I'm so sorry.

It's okay, Nora.

It's okay.

[thunder rumbling]

Oh, my God.

Eddie.

What did you do?

So, you're the Barry from 2023
and you are the Cecile from 2023

but in our Cecile's body.

And here I thought
today couldn't get any freakier.

Look, the crystal that possessed Nora,
it attacked me in the past.

Then it went after the team in 2023.

Wait, why don't we remember these attacks?

Because they're happening simultaneously
across the timeline.

First in the past…

Then in your present.

And now here, in 2049,

all while charging the crystal
for the new avatar, Eddie.

That's not all.

Speed Force Nora showed up in 2023.
She said that she was under attack,

and that all that remains
of the Speed Force lives in your family.

And then she vanished.

Big Nora's gone?

-Dad.
-I know.

Explains why we can't feel her anymore.

-[computer beeping]
-Sweet N.K. Jemisin.

Hey, all this red energy that's appearing
in the sky, it's not lightning.

It's the timeline starting to fracture.

And it'll spread in every direction.

Until there's nothing left
of the timeline at all.

How long do we have, Chuck?

I'm not sure, but at this rate
of degradation, not very long.

Cecile, I still can't time travel.

Can you warn the team back in 2023?

Yeah, on it.

But what do I tell the team about Eddie?

Is there a chance he rejected
that crystal's offer?

Barry, we need to talk.

You're as beautiful
as the day we got married.

I haven't seen you like this in so long.

It's weird.

There's so much I wanna ask you.

About our lives. If we're happy.

I wish we had more time.

I can't believe Eddie is doing this.

He seemed like his old self.

But then he started going on about
how fate brought him back here.

It was like he was seeing things,
hearing things.

The Negative Speed Force
is still manipulating his mind.

I don't know how to stop what's coming.

But I swear, Iris, I will do whatever
it takes to protect you and our family.

I know.

And to answer your question,
yes, we're happy.

Every day, I love you more than
I even thought was possible.

And no matter what challenges life
puts on us, we face them together.

Always.

I can't wait.

[groans]

Why?

[yells] Why bring me back
only to show me what I can't have?

What did I do to deserve this?

[ominous voice] Eddie…

Eddie…

Iris…

No, don't go.

[ominous voice] They aren't gone, Eddie.

They're waiting for you.

Tell me what to do.

Accept our power.

And end the legacy of Barry Allen.

Forever.

[thunder rumbling]
