On the latest episode of ‘The Flash’ Barry headed back into the speedforce alone in hopes of saving Wally. Cisco and the team created an anchor and bio tracker in order to monitor Barry while he was in the speedforce but the anchor didn’t last long. Shortly after Cisco opened the breech and allowed Barry to enter the speedforce, Barry ran into Eddie Thawne.

The speedforce was using Eddie and other versions of Barry’s past and present friends in order to teach him a lesson. The first was that they let Barry create Flashpoint and now he has to deal with the consequences. This is also why they will not allow Barry to take Wally out of the speedforce. They feel Wally made the choice to become Kid Flash and must therefore deal with the consequences of that choice.

Barry of course was having none of that and had to escape a Time Wraith in order to get to the prison where Wally was being held. As he made his way to Wally Barry ran into Caitlin with a baby. Moments later he was greeted by Ronnie. Another ploy to show Barry how his choices effect those around him. Barry still refused to give up on Wally and had to face off with Black Flash in order to get to Wally. Unfortunately the only way Barry could defeat Black Flash was to use his anchor as a weapon and eliminate him.

After making it through round 2 of obstacles Barry finally reached Wally. Unfortunately before he could get to him he was met by none other than Captain Cold. Putting another person who sacrificed themselves for or because of Barry, in Barry’s path once again. Captain Cold informed Barry that Wally is reliving his mother’s death over and over again. All Barry wanted to do was trade places with Wally so he gives up fighting. The speedforce was having none of that and had Captain Cold almost kill Barry in hopes of getting him to get up and fight. Luckily Cisco called Jay Garrick (Earth 3 Flash) in for back up and he saves Barry before he can be eliminated.

Barry then returns the favor when Captain Cold attempts to kill Jay for interfering. Barry then rescues Wally and Jay stayed behind in Wally’s place. Jay tells Barry that he is the only one that can defeat Savitar. Barry then promised to get Jay out when he did so. Wally and Barry then return home with the help of Jay’s helmet and learn of Jessie’s run in with Savitar.

Jessie and the team figured out that Savitar’s blade could be used to track his exact location. Jessie then decided to face Savitar on her own and with the help of HR discovered that Savitar is not in fact a god but a man. He is vulnerable under his armor. Savitar also informed Jessie that he has plans for her in the future. This frightened Jessie enough to make her head to Earth 3 in order to avoid her fate and fill in for Jay while he is trapped in the speedforce.

At the close of the episode it seemed like Iris and Barry where going to resolve their issues. However, this was not the case. Barry even asked Iris for some space and went to go stay with Cisco for a while. Will this be the end of their romance?

In the latest episode of ‘The Flash’ we saw Wally get manipulated by Savitar more than once. Wally has finally gained the speed to save Iris but unfortunately he may never get the chance to do that thanks to Savitar.

Barry and the team learn of Savitar’s hold on Wally when Wally is physically attacked by The God of Speed during a training session. This caused Barry to kick Wally off the team for fear of Savitar spying on their plans. This then forces the team and a newly returned Julian to reach out to Savitar. They strapped Julian up once again and allowed Savitar to come through.

Savitar informs Barry that he is closer to freedom than the team thinks. He only needs one more item and then he will be set free. The item he needs is the philosopher’s stone. Turns out the entire stone wasn’t thrown into the speed force. Caitlin kept a piece in hopes that it could reverse her powers. Not only did she betray the team but she betrayed Julian and right after he kissed her!

After that fiasco Wally asked Cisco to vibe him into the future to see Iris’s death.  He thought that by seeing it he could find a way to overcome his fear of not being able to save her. Unfortunately it made it worse for him. He does however discover that Iris does not have an engagement ring on her hand and calls out Barry for proposing to his sister only because he hoped to change the future. Even though Barry does love Iris that definitely wasn’t the way to go about things. Hence why she removed the ring by the end of the episode.

Once again the team used Julian in hopes of finding a location on Savitar. They do find him but it is too late. Wally is already there and is opening a breech in order to throw the philosopher’s stone into it, thinking that will defeat Savitar. Unfortunately that is exactly what Savitar wanted Wally to do. As Barry arrived Wally was sucked into the speedforce and Savitar was set free. Savitar needed Wally to take his place in order to escape.

Barry now must find a way to defeat Savitar and save Wally before Savitar destroys Central City.

The Flash v. Savitar battle begins.

NEXT WEEK:

Barry goes into the speedforce to save Wally. There he is greeted by Eddie, Ronnie, Captain Cold and a Time Wraith.

In this week’s episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow we finally got to see how The Legion of Doom musketeers got together. Back in Star City 2016 when Darhk was killed by The Green Arrow, Eobart Thawne arrived at Malcolm Merlin’s apartment with the recently departed. That is where the duo were informed of Thawne’s plan to change reality and where they eagerly jumped aboard Team Reverse Flash.

Legion of Doom Holding Cell 2017:

Jump to present day (2017) and the trio is in-fighting over what to do with their newly gained hostage, Rip Hunter. Merlin wants to try to hypnotize Rip using regression therapy. The League of Assassins didn’t call him The Magician for nothing. Unfortunately Merlin lost his touch when he lost his hand and was unable to gain anything from Rip because Rip’s memories are gone. Darhk then decided to take matters into his own hands and removed one of Rip’s teeth. The tooth he sadistically pulled had a barcode for a safe deposit box in Switzerland.

The last time the box was accessed was January 2025. Merlin and Darhk went after the deposit box while Thawne was noticeably absent.

Central City 2017:

Back on the Waverider, The Legends tried to decipher what the Languid Medallion does and how it communicates the location of the Spear of Destiny. Luckily Martin’s daughter Lily is able to lend the team a helping hand. She is able to get the medallion to open using a short ionic pulse. On the timeship Lily meets the team and pairs the medallion with Gideon.

Ray and Lily celebrated their success but it was short lived when Mick arrived to the party. Mick purposely let it slip that Lily is a time aberration and forces Martin to tell her the truth.

Martin originally didn’t want children because he was afraid to become the father his father was. He tells Lily that at first he didn’t want children but now he knows he needs her and that he wouldn’t want a life without her in it.

The professor then miraculously remembers Eobart Thawne aka Reverse Flash and how he was erased from the timeline when Eddie Thawne killed himself. The team realizes that’s why they didn’t have any information on the speedster. Nate then figures out that Thawne can’t stay in one place for a very long time which is why he is constantly on the move. He is running from something.

Zurich, Switzerland 2025:

Merlin and Darhk take Phil (aka Rip) to Switzerland with them thinking he will be able to safely open the deposit box without causing Darhk to take civilian causalities. Their scheme does not go according to plan and they are forced to leave the bank without safe deposit box 4587.

Legion of Doom Holding Cell 2017:

Merlin and Darhk had another squabble after returning to the holding cell. They of course settled the dispute with a good ‘ole fashioned sword fight, League of Assassins’ style. Rip is able to get the duo to stop fighting when he makes them question Thawne’s motives and whereabouts during their attempted bank heist. Merlin and Darhk then agree to team up and take on the speedster for equal treatment; they head back to the bank this time with the security override code.

When Thawne returned he was only greeted by Rip. His henchmen went rogue. Rip tells Thawne where the pair went and he takes off after them.

Zurich, Switzerland 2025:

Merlin and Darhk are greeted by Thawne after they discover a nuermonic archive (used to store memories) in the safe deposit box. Thawne takes the device and the duo trap him inside the vault with them.

His watch goes off and he begins to panic. Turns out Thawne is running from The Black Flash, a zombie-like speedster, that wants to kill him and can sense the speedforce within him. Merlin and Darhk agree to help Thawne if he treats them as equals from now on. He agrees and the duo set up The Black Flash.

They have Thawne stand still, thus no longer using the speedforce, so the creature can’t detect him. Merlin and Darhk were able to attack and capture the creature. They placed it inside the safe where Rip’s deposit box was but it won’t hold the creature for long so the musketeers make a move and head back to the holding cell. This sequence was quite enjoyable to watch as we got to see this big-bad villain squirm and shake with fear.

Legion of Doom Holding Cell 2017:

Once back at The Legion of Doom’s headquarters, Thawne uploads Rip’s memories and makes some adjustments to them before giving them back to Rip.

New Jersey 1776 – Christmas Day:

Armed with his jostled memories, Rip travels back in time and murders General George Washington.

Next Week:

The Legends go back to 1776 to save General Washington and learn that Rip’s brain has been scrambled by The Legion of Doom
