Barry finds that the timeline changed and he is now the Reverse-Flash. Thawne reveals that he killed Joe and framed Barry for the attacks in Central City, then traveled back in time to kill Barry as a child and later became The Flash. At midnight, the Reverse-Flashpoint timeline will solidify and Barry will disappear. He partners with this timeline's Damien Darhk and plots revenge against Thawne, but Darhk ultimately learns Barry's true nature and helps Barry restore the original timeline upon learning that his daughter Nora Darhk is alive in it. Meanwhile, Iris is visited by Batwoman while she struggles to write her vows to Thawne. Alex helps Chester and Allegra admit their love for one another, and also convinces Choi to love again. The speed required for Barry to return to 2021 will cause Armageddon through extinction-level natural disasters, but he decides to follow through. Barry visits Iris to say goodbye and is intercepted by Thawne, but Iris lets Barry escape. Thawne chases him while Darhk holds off Frost, Chillblaine, Ryan Choi (as The Atom), and Sentinel. As Barry returns to 2021, Thawne's changes are undone and Barry tells Despero to check 2031 for himself. Thawne arrives in the 2021 Time Vault as the Reverse-Flash and activates Gideon to aid him.

Barry asks Jefferson to permanently remove his powers. He begins to, but stops when Barry mentions Despero. Barry lashes out and the two fight, but Jefferson convinces him to stand down. Meanwhile, Iris suspects that Barry was framed and that Joe's supposed death was a set-up. At the train station where Joe was struck, she and Allegra discover a unique set of coincidences that suggest foul play. She also begins to see temporal particles, so she meets with Deon Owens, who discovers that someone tapped into the Negative Still Force to change the timeline and kill Joe. Concurrently, Cecile coerces Rosalind Dillon into helping her find Barry. In order to improve Chester's process, Dillon tells Cecile to suppress her grief, but Caitlin Snow convinces her to embrace her love instead. Despero turns on the particle accelerator, absorbs its power, and attacks Cecile's group. He learns Barry's location and travels there, but is held off by Jefferson, Iris, and Deon. Deon informs Barry of his findings and sends him to 2031, where he witnesses a future Iris celebrating her marriage to Eobard Thawne alongside Team Flash, Alex Danvers, Ryan Choi, and Ryan Wilder, who are unhappy to see him.

Despero informs Barry that he will lose himself to madness. The next day, Barry investigates an insane security guard, but Kramer forces him to turn in his badge due to a federal investigation suggesting that he was a CCPD mole for Joseph Carver. Later, S.T.A.R. Labs is raided and shut down after a radiation spike, so Barry has Gideon erase everything (including herself) while Chester and Allegra move their tech. Meanwhile, Alex Danvers helps Team Flash research Despero's home planet of Kalanor and his power source, the Flame of Py'tar. Allegra learns that Frost asked Chester to build a weapon to harm Despero despite his pacifism. Later, Barry goes after psychic meta-criminal Xotar, but she causes him to go insane and attack Team Flash, though he is able to place the power-dampening cuffs on her during a jewelry heist. Barry suggests they celebrate with Joe West, but Team Flash informs him that he died six months prior. News footage shows Barry attacking residents of Central City after Xotar had been depowered, but Barry does not remember this or Joe's death. Despero arrives to kill Barry, but Team Flash allows him to escape to the Hall of Justice, where he meets with Jefferson Pierce and asks him for help.
