Okay so you all have explained how Time Remnants work with Reverse-Flash, but can someone explain how these rules apply to Zoom and The Flash??? I am still confused on this.

And as far as Barry saving his mother, I think what is happening is we've seen two ends of a paradox. In the season 2 finale, Barry returns to save his mother from Reverse-Flash and succeeds, successfully saving her and restoring (or is it creating?) the original timeline. Barry will most likely "return" to a vastly different time than what he remembered, and whatever madness ensues, it will most likely end with the Flash, Green Arrow, Hawkgirl and The Atom vs. Reverse-Flash. The explosion of light in which Barry, this time, knowing that this is how to get to his appropriate time, saves his younger self and father, but then runs back in to stop Season 1 Barry (this is all assuming that the difference in age between Season 2 Barry and "Season 3" Barry is close enough for him to take place of Season 2 Barry) from rescuing his mother, thus restoring the timeline. The Season 2 cliffhangar is the start of the Flashpoint Paradox, and what we saw at the end of Season 1 is the end of the Flashpoint Paradox!
