Flash stops Devoe's plans with an assist from the "Mystery speed girl" to smash a satellite with a decaying orbit. Barry goes to sonic punch it, but as he makes impact time appears to rewind a few moments and the next time around he is aided by the mystery girl, whom he cannot see at the moment....though he later realizes there was another speedster aiding him.

Devoe's wife aids Team Flash, also with the restoration of Wells2.

Cecile risks her self and the as yet unborn kid to help Barry enter Devoe's mindscape and free Dibney's trapped psyche. Dibney reasserts control and reshapes his body back to normal.

Caitlyn assists with the delivery of Joe's kid.

Devoe has a legacy program in his chair that activates after Dibney is restored. However his wife deactivates it but a satellite comes down

Clue to the mystery girl, if you look carefully you see her speed is a mix of Barry's gold energy and the purple energy Iris had when she had Barry's power....

Wells2 and Cisco have a Khan moment after his brain is rebooted.

Wells2 is mostly restored, however there may be some lingering brain loss as his IQ doesn't quite seem to be fully restored but he is balanced now between his IQ and his emotions.

Wells2 then decides to get back to his Earth and restore relations with his daughter. Cisco comments that it is the end of an era.

Wally shows up at the party for the newborn to see his new sister.

The party is going well, Iris jokes with Barry that one day they will be next to have a kid. Barry of course has a mild freak out.....

The party is going well when the mystery girl arrives and states she is Nora, the daughter of Iris and Barry from the future and she states she may have just made a big mistake.....

1. So is Dibney really cleansed of Devoe and the other meta psyches? Eh, probably given the sloppy writing

2. Does Cecile still retain telepathy or is it all in the kid?

3. Nora time jumped back a few minutes so that she could team with Barry to smash the satellite, thus saving the city AND Barry as well. Nora then tells them she may have made a big mistake......

....well let's see

A. You timewarped to the past from the future

B. You are introducing yourself to your future parents and their friends thus setting up the paradox that by them meeting Nora, they must now one day actually conceive Nora otherwise time paradox galore!

C. She clearly did a time warp so that she could run alongside her dad and help smash the satellite. So this tells me that Barry likely would have perished otherwise, or been critically injured, either way this would likely mean Nora won't exist, so what she did saved Barry and her existence, but now how has the future changed?

And frankly after this season, does anyone care? I'm having a hard time caring at all.

That was an awful hour of television.

So... should everybody know Barry is Flash now? Half of his mask was ripped/burned off when he returned from the satellite, and many people were taking pictures.

I thought it rather convenient that Marlize has a magical cure for Harry. But I knew he'd get his intelligence back anyway. But what I didn't know was that he'd only get some of it back.

Pretty sure the episode is clear enough to answer this question. I'm really surprised your asking it.

Again, the episode addressed this question. Cecile lost her telepathy with the birth of her baby.

This will probably lead into the next season where they have to deal with the ramifications of what Nora did.

Barry likely survived since Nora wouldn't exist otherwise. In all likelihood, Barry was severely hurt and went on to have Nora with Iris. But Nora saved Barry from suffering severe injuries, thus changing the future.

The show runners themselves don't care if nothing makes sense. It's a miracle this show keeps trucking along without being cancelled.

When you look at the average rating over the whole season, it was the highest rated CW show for the year. So it would have to get really bad ratings wise to be cancelled.

I mentioned this in another thread, but they need to stop the season-long villains. That is getting very repetitious and tedious to do that every year, and it removes a lot of the suspense from episodes when you know the villain can't be defeated because they have to survive until the season finale.

So they turned Earth 2 Wells into the kinder, gentler, dumber Wells that they killed off last season?

WTF, the thing I liked about Wells 2 was his intelligence and his no nonsense personality.

I am assuming here that by altering the future, her home, she is now the equivalent of the X-Men's Rachel Summers and the like... stranded in our present as her reality no longer exists, technically at least. So whatever future Barry and Iris go on the greet there might not be a Nora as she has not just negated her proper 'home' but altered the past by telling her parents all about herself and therefore the odds of them going on to conceive her are in flux...

But has it I ask? If continuity in this show is to mean anything then the future is set by that lingering headline from Eobard Thawne's time concerning The Flash's disappearance in a Crisis, which is still some years from occurring. Nora Allen presumably comes from around that time, or just after, so how to reconcile the notion that the meteor was destined to destroy the city, and the fact of that future newspaper headline...?

We have no reason to believe that headline has anything to do with Nora Jr.

That headline was for April 25th, 2024. Unless Nora's ages super fast (which I grant is possible) she shouldn't be a 30 something year old in 2024.

Nora says she's Barry and Iris's child from the future. If she's from Eobard's timeline (but not time period) she's technically the child of Barry and Iris from that timeline where Barry didn't get his powers until 7 years later. Nora would be the child of their doppelgangers from another timeline so there could be no predestination paradoxes at play.
