Last night’s The Flash was an intense ride as we saw changes coming for Barry, Eddie, and Iris. When Eddie is finally found, the team discovers that Wells has made the particle accelerator go back online. This has dire consequences for the building and the meta-humans who are still locked up inside.
Barry does not want them to die for any reason and wants to find a way to get them to safety. In order to do this, he takes a risk by asking Leonard Snart for help.
Meanwhile, Eddie is still reeling from finding out that Iris will marry Barry in the future. He is distant toward her and their relationship takes a turn when he tells her what he has found out. What this means for both themselves and Barry is left in the air.
When the meta-humans are transported out of S.T.A.R. Labs, it leads to consequences that leave Barry feeling unsure of himself. But with help from Joe and a few allies in the form of Oliver Queen and Firestorm, Barry is able to take down Reverse-Flash. For now, of course.
Next week’s season finale will take Barry back to the past. Will he change things? And if he does, what will it mean for our scarlet speedster? We’ll find out next week but for now, check out our top moments from last night’s “Rogue Air.”

10. Finding Eddie
Cisco is able to figure out that Wells needed his wheelchair for something. So he does some investigating and discovers that it was likely used as a battery to give him power. As he is telling Barry, Caitlin, and Joe, they hear an alarm and Cisco discovers someone turned on the particle accelerator. Barry realizes this means that Wells is in S.T.A.R. Labs and they search for him. When Reverse-Flash runs past Barry, he goes after him while the rest of the team are distracted by Peek-A-Boo. Thanks to Iris, Caitlin is rescued and just as they are putting Peek-A-Boo back in the cage, they hear Eddie cry for help.

9. Awkward moments
Eddie gets a check-up from Caitlin, but it is clear he is still feeling tense and unsure in the wake of the information he has discovered. When Barry comes in, he tells them about Eobard Thawne apparently being related to him and working on some sort of metallic tube. The one thing he does not reveal is what he discovered about Barry and Iris.

8. Protecting the meta-humans
When the Cisco discovers the futuristic tube Eddie describes to them, he is unable to turn it off and trying to take it out could send the whole building down. Not knowing what would happen if the particle accelerator exploded again, the team also knows they need to move their meta-human prisoners somewhere safe. Barry is able to get help from one of Oliver Queen’s associates, but when Joe goes to the District Attorney for help, she refuses since he is basically breaking the law by holding people prisoner. This leads Barry to making a big decision.

6. Working with Snart
Barry is desperate to figure out a way to save the meta-humans and he goes so far as to ask Leonard Snart for help. When Snart asks for his criminal records to be destroyed, Barry agrees, but Joe is more than annoyed. He wonders why Barry is doing this and Barry tells him that he has to do something since Wells created them and someone has to care if they live.

Oliver, Barry, and Ronnie all battle Reverse-Flash, but he is very powerful and they have a difficult time. However, Oliver was able to get some help from Ray Palmer to make his arrows get rid of his speed.

This shock allows Oliver to hit him with an arrow again, knocking him unconscious.
