Warning: Spoilers
New speedster attacks were reported throughout Central City. Nora appears again warning him. Barry then wakes up questioning what is happening. The city is locked down as the Speedster War is going on. The Godspeeds' Ambushed Barry in the City Hall, they disappear. Barry travels to Star Labs telling them what has been going on. Chester works out on a predictive algorithm. Any electronic signal cannot be transmitted since the Godspeeds love electricity. Barry has another hour of speed-healing until the Godspeeds show up again. Apparently, the Godspeeds' are from 2045. Just until Diggle shows up to help Team Flash in the current ongoing Speedster Civil War, oh hell yes! Diggle introduces the Entropy trap which purpose is to save Central City. Any something-something for person freezing it in time, the team plans to bring one for questioning on their motive. The Speedsters arrive again. Chester activates emitting signal into thinking that the Godspeeders' are allied with them. One of the Godspeeders gets caught in the Entropy Trap then is bought back to the Star Lab jails. The Flash speaks to the Lone Godspeed. It acknowledges his secret identity. The Lone Speedster explains to him the main purpose of the Speedster Civil War; they're fighting two sides of themselves, prompting team Flash to join and kill August Hearts (( the main Godspeed. )), and their freedom will be compromised. The Lone Speedster threatens Barry by tapping to his speed. It breaks out. Action! The teams realize the Speedster was interrogating them. The Godspeeds are gone, yet again. Barry tells Cecil that he wants to travel to 2049 to check up on Nora. Cecil tells him that Nora is researching the whereabouts of August Hearts to end the Civil War. Barry attempts to run to 2049. But lands in 2023, I think, and meets Deons. The Speedsters are feeding on the other speedsters' energy to make them faster. Iris appears.

The Speedsters attack once more. This time; Cecil, Diggle, and Frost are defending the city. Worlds await? Could this be a foreshadowing of the new speedster character coming up next or something? Barry arrives in Present Day telling Chester and Cecil what happened to Iris. The three spots 2021 August Hearts? Wow. Wally and his assistant finally capture the guy they have been looking for. They question him why did he kill those people. Oh great; this guy is immortal for god's sake. Kramer threatens to use her gun to "kill", but lowers the gun down. The guy is bought back to the Medical Bay. Diggle tells the team that he is leaving and has to deal with whatever he found in the aftermath of the Crisis. Green Lantern ring? The guy tells his name - August Hearts. Nora has come home. Barry's future son; Bart arrives.

Thoughts?

This was actually decent, we're getting into the spirit of a good Flash episode. It's great to have Diggle back again. I dig him. The plot has finally caught my attention. It's interesting. I do hope to god that Season 8 will be great, and the finale doesn't fall apart, but we will see. I am looking forward to this! I wouldn't be surprised if the writers were saving the best for the last. The team dynamic is stronger than ever. You have beautiful character moments.

10/10.
