Ryan’s time in Central City is short-lived, with Two-Face a threat in Gotham, but before she goes, she offers Iris some advice (and makes us hope we see these two together in the present).

Armageddon Arrives - and It’s a Good Thing? Barry tells Darhk of how the timeline is supposed be, namely that his daughter Nora ( Courtney Ford) should be alive, and convinces the villain to help him by honoring his sacrifice in the other timeline.

But after they get what they need to reset the timeline - knocking out Team Flash at STAR Labs in the process, with Barry refusing to kill them - Darhk realizes something’s off. Upon learning the Reverse Flash’s accomplice is Damien Darhk ( Neal McDonough), Barry tries to fool him into helping take down Eobard by claiming that he was beating the Flash, only for him to change things in the timeline.

Welcome to Your Worst Nightmare, Barry AllenĪfter witnessing his arch nemesis, Eobard Thawne ( Tom Cavanagh - apparently no one wonders why he looks like Harrison Wells?), at his engagement party to Iris West ( Candice Patton), Barry tries to tell everyone how it’s supposed to be as he realizes who’s really responsible for everything going wrong in his life recently. And he really should have seen this one coming.įortunately, there’s a fix, one that leaves us wondering just how much of what happens in 2031 could still come to fruition across the Arrowverse.
