Ha! Ha! OH YEAH! What a thrill-ride! The wait was TOTALLY worth it! Barry's brief struggle with the rogues AND his team-up with Oliver and Ronnie (and Martin)? SWEETNESS! I'll admit, having Oliver finish off Barry's enemy was a bit disappointing, but then I remembered that there is one episode left and while we don't see Eobard in the trailer (except for his getting chased by Barry to the Allen House), chances are, he will appear again and Barry will have to fight him again. Lisa's flirting with Cisco was pretty funny as well! And, I can't BELIEVE I'm saying this, but I ACTUALLY feel bad for Eddie and Iris. I mean sure, anyone who knows me knows that I have been aching for the two to break-up so that Iris can fulfill her destiny with Barry (or at least start), but I didn't know it was going to feel this bad. Shoot, I thought Eddie would have ignored what Eobard told him and made extra sure that he remained with Iris, which includes ignoring and being rude to Barry. But Iris starts to drift towards Barry, causing friction. But hey. One episode left. If Barry is indeed traveling back through time, this could actually be the alternative. Just my theory:

Barry will travel back through time, obviously, to save his mom and return to the present, but will see that this action caused A LOT of ramifications. Despite realizing that he would lose his mother again, to set things right as Joe said The Flash is meant to do, he has to let her go. Still, he ruptured the timeline. Which means, considerable changes could happen. Like maybe...Caitlin becoming Killer Frost. Cisco becoming Vibe. And if Barry and Iris does happen through some weird plot device, Eddie, in a fit of jealousy, could become some version of Cobalt Blue (who I think, in the comics, is named Malcolm Thawne rather than Eddie).

Oh, but I knew this from the start! Oliver slipping away from Nanda Parbat to help Barry (once again proving my theory that Oliver WAS NEVER brainwashed) and in return, Barry happily frees everyone from their confines in Nanda Parbat and tells them, just like he did in the trailer, that Oliver still needs them and is on there side, also adding, of course, that he helped him in Central City to take down his nemesis. They still remain sore at him for a bit, but they ultimately realize the truth when he saves them and Starling from Ra's al Ghul. Just my thoughts!
