The Flash returned last week with Barry struggling over the knowledge that Iris will die in four months. Still reeling from what he saw in the future, he is distant and doesn’t tell her what is troubling him. To make matters worse, the newest villain, Plunder, is on the scene and Barry is reluctant to stop him. This is because he saw a news report on Plunder on the night he saw Iris killed.
When he finally tells Iris what happened, the rest of the team work together to figure out if there is a possibility they can alter key details of the future. The only person who does not know is Joe, something Iris doesn’t want to reveal to him. When Cisco vibes Barry to see that future, they capture details from the news headlines that could help alter what happens leading to her death.
Meanwhile, H.R. is still trying to open the S.TA.R. Labs museum, but he is running into issues, especially when no one comes to his opening night. At first, Cisco is reluctant to give it a try but he comes around to helping H.R. succeed.
Then, Caitlin is also dealing with her meta human cuffs going haywire and she goes to Julian for help. She also sees he is struggling and decides to help him, including by extending an offer to work together.
The one question we will have to wait to see answered is if Barry will save Iris. Will he save anyone else who needs to be saved? For now, catch up with Team Flash in the episode “Borrowing Problems from the Future.”
