Well again, that 2046 future is just a potential timeline. So it could have been a timeline where Barry created Flashpoint AND Felicity kept her job. And I get that, but also...I would've liked to see it? Like, maybe next ep Barry has flashbacks to how he'd help Hartley reunite with his parents or something? While the character is ultimately slated for redemption(or he SHOULD given his back-story) I feel they ultimately could've portrayed it better.

And probably. The next episode was the one where they were battling Zoom. They couldn't have explained the Hartley redemption.
