The moment fans of “The Flash” have all been waiting for is only a few weeks away. “Flashpoint” is almost here.
“The Flash” will return for season 3 in October and following the events of the season 2 finale, things are going to look different. Barry Allen went back in time and saved his mother from being killed at the end of season 2, and he will be living in a new “Flashpoint” universe that he created.
Both of Barry’s parents will be alive when the show returns, and his relationships with character such as Joe and Iris West will not be the same as they were. The CW has released a new synopsis for the season premiere and it teases that Barry will have to make a choice as to whether or not he wants to stay in the universe he created, or return to his universe.
The synopsis for “Flashpoint” reads as follows.
WHAT WOULD YOU SACRIFICE TO HAVE EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER WANTED? — Barry (Grant Gustin) is living his dream life – his parents are alive, he’s asked Iris West (Candice Patton) on a date and he can finally be a normal guy as Central City has another speedster, Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale), running around saving the city. When Barry starts forgetting parts of his old life, the Reverse Flash (guest star Matt Letscher) taunts his nemesis and tells him that there will be serious repercussions for Barry and the ones he loves if he continues to live in this alternate universe. In addition to losing his memories, his powers will also start to fade. When disaster strikes, Barry must decide if he wants to continue to live in this world as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash.
“The Flash” will return on Tuesday, October 4.
