Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

After Barry Allen catches Meena Dhawan, she shows him the Biometric Lightning Oscillation Chamber (BLOC), which grants her speed and introduces him to its co-inventor: the time remnant of Eobard Thawne from Flashpoint, though he does not remember his past or Barry. Barry tries to stop Meena from using the BLOC, but it connects her to the Negative Speed Force and she begins draining power junctions. The alternate Thawne states that he fell in love with Meena and had visions of the BLOC, but was unaware of the Negative Speed Force. He reminds Meena of their love and she disconnects from it.

Later, Ray Palmer informs Team Flash that the Flashpoint Thawne was revived and reeducated by the Time Wraiths before being killed. Barry theorizes that he was revived again and brought to Meena. Meanwhile, Cecile Horton 's powers grow when she stops a bank robbery and mugging, but is stalked by a mysterious woman. Mark Blaine contacts Caitlin Snow and reveals he has a come up with a plan to resurrect her clone Frost.

John Diggle approaches the original Thawne, who has been imprisoned on Lian Yu, looking for help in opening his box. Thawne recognizes the box and reveals that he does know how to open it but states that if he does Diggle would be forced to leave his family. Diggle decides to remain with his family and the box disappears. Deon Owens visits the imprisoned Thawne and tells him that it is time to "fulfill his destiny."
