Gotta say this episode was interesting.

Flashpoint will last a good portion of the season, until Barry can beat Savitar. Flashpoint ends when Barry himself runs back While this episode took place in the actual Flashpoint timeline, it ended with Eobard, not Barry, "fixing" the timeline. And considering that the writers did not show Thawne fading away like he did in season 1, it's likely his "fixing" of the timeline results in the side effect of turning him into a living paradox. Ironically though, Thawne will screw around with the timeline again (or possibly alter the timeline so he dies again maybe?) in Legends of Tomorrow.

Remember that this version of Thawne is unaware that Eddie existed in the timeline, so it's likely Eddie is still dead, since all Thawne did was kill Barry's mother again.

I did notice that Barry has gotten more unstable as he didn't hesitate to phase his hand through the Rival once Wally got impaled. Fortunately for the Rival Barry had one of his timeline headaches before he could do that.

But did you see that next episode's trailers? Caitlin gets her ice powers.
