- Central City 2049
Godspeed runs through the city, declaring it his. Xs blasts him down off the side of the wall with her gauntlet blasters, but the villain recovers and blasts Xs with speed force lightning. He tells her never to anger a god, and Impulse races up and runs through Godspeed, knocking the villain out. Nora tells her brother Bart that he risked his life, and as they argue Godspeed disappears. Gideon tells Bart and Nora that Godspeed is at the Flash museum. They race there, and find Godspeed using the cosmic treadmill to travel off through time. XS and Impulse speed through the time portal after Godspeed.
In the 21st century at STAR Labs, Chester and Barry show Nora and Bart the unconscious August, and explains the Godspeeds at large in the city. Chester tells Bart that his phasing through Godspeed was amazing, and then Chester introduces himself. Nora knows Chester from the future and assures him that he's the smartest person they know.
Caitlin and Candice come in, and the twins greet "Granny Cecile". Barry wishes Iris was there to meet their children, and Nora assures him that Iris will be fine. Nora says that they can't help because they have to prevent the timeline from changing, and they can't stay. Barry tells them that they can because there's no way back while the Godspeeds are recharging themselves in the Speed Force. He figures that his children are the advantage they need to win the Godspeed War, and Caitlin says that Cecile is helping her to unlock August's memories. They haven't succeeded yet.
Chester has an idea and shows the others that he found a solar encryption engine that neutralizes artificial speed forces like Godspeed. All Chester has to do is charge the engine with an electromagnetic energy source, and he asks where Allegra is. Barry says that he hasn't seen Allegra since she said goodbye to her cousin. Chester goes off to find Allegra, and Bart figures that with the engine they can stop Godspeed.
Later in the lunge, Barry watches as Nora and Bart eat takeout. They invite Barry to come in, and Bart shows off his burping skills. They know about the Speed Force Nora from the stories they've told them in the future. An alarm goes off notifying them of Godspeed's presence, and all three of them speed off to the location.
The two factions of Godspeeds are fighting, when Flash, Xs, and Impulse arrive. As Flash tells the others to get the civilians out of the way, and Impulse says that they should let the Godspeeds kill each other, the Godspeeds turn to them. Flash tells the speedsters to split up and speed away, and run the charge out of the Godspeeds.
The Godspeeds chase Impulse down, and they prepare to blast him when they bring him down. They disappear to recharge, and Flash wonders why they followed Impulse. The twins look at each other, and Flash figures there's something they're not telling him.
Back at STAR Labs, Barry asks why the Godspeeds tried to kill Bart. Bart finally says that Godspeed is his arch-nemesis in 2049, and says that he knows that Godspeed is to him the same way that Thawne is to Flash. Nora intervenes, saying they should train, and Bart speeds off to the Speed Lab. Nora looks at Barry for a moment and then goes after Bart.
Chester finds Allegra in the lounge drinking, coffee, and tells her what has been happening. Allegra abruptly asks what Chester needs, and explains that he needs her to charge the engine. She figures that he came to the "human charger", and says that she heated up her coffee already with her powers. After Allegra leaves, Chester confirms that she didn't heat up the coffee.
In Midway City, Carmen and Joe talk to an FBI agent about Creyke. Carmen doesn't say anything about how Creyke said she was dead. After the FBI agent leaves, Joe tells Carmen that he can't reach the others by phone, and asks Carmen if she has anything else to tell the agent. She says that she doesn't and leaves.
At STAR Labs in the Time Vault, Barry confirms that they're out of speeds to call in. Iris appears and explains that Deon was able to stabilize her enough until they could find a permanent cure to her condition. Barry hugs her and Iris reveals that she knows their children are there. Iris explains that Deon let her see and hear everything from the Still Force, and they wonder what Godspeed did to Bart. They figure that Godspeed wants to kill Bart, and they both realize that they can't let Bart go back out until the war is over.
In Keystone City, Dr. Joan Collins confirms that Jay Garrick's speed Force saturation has increased over to 100%. She gives Jay his helmet and tells him to be careful when he goes out. Several Godspeeds race in and grab Jay, and say that they want Jay.
Nora and Bart are training in the Speed Lab, and Nora finally compliments her brother. As he thanks her, Iris and Barry come in and Bart hugs his mother. Barry tells Bart that he won't be going into the field, and Iris backs her husband. Bart says that his parents don't know him yet, and he can keep his cool. He turns to Nora for agreement, and she tells Bart that she can't.
Bart speeds off, and Nora tells Barry that she' known Bart for 19 years and she's got it. She speed off after Bart, and Barry and Iris hug and figure that they have great children.
Nora finds Bart moping at the West Allen, and he says that she didn't have his back. She says that she understands, and Bart reminds her that Godspeed killed "Uncle Jay" in front of him. Jay was the one who understood Bart and saw his impulsiveness as a strength, not a weakness. Nora tells Bart that he still has his family, and Bart wonders why they can't tell Barry. Nora warns her brother that they'd be breaking the rules, and asks Bart what Jay would want him to do. Bart calms down, and Nora says that she'll take down Godspeed for both of them, and Bart has to stay at the house.
At STAR Labs, the MAD doesn't work. Caitlin and Cecile show August the Treadmill, and he vaguely remembers the future. Then August says that he must have had a breakdown, and wonders if he'll ever know who he is.
Allegra's powers don't work to charge the engine. She's in Chester's lab, and Chester comes in and says the charge is the last thing they need. Chester confirms the battery isn't charged yet, and asks Allegra if she's okay. Allegra insists that she's fine, just as the Godspeed alarm goes off. Barry speeds in and asks if the engine is ready, and Allegra tells him that the battery isn't charged. After charging the battery with kinetic energy, Barry speeds off with the engine while Chester and Allegra go to get Iris.
Flash sets up the engine in a plaza and tells the others over the comms that he's in position. Xs lures the Godspeeds to the plan, and Flash activates the engine and the Godspeed collapse. However, they quickly recharge and blast Flash and Xs down. Xs is knocked unconscious, and the Godspeeds concentrate on Flash. Frost arrives and blasts them down, then tells Flash that they have to go as the Godspeeds recover.
Barry takes Nora to STAR Labs where she recovers, and she insists to her parents that she's fine. Chester says that the Godspeeds got the energy from the engine. He calculates that the Godspeeds will return in 45 minutes, and goes to his 2workshop to work on the engine.
Barry figures that they still need reinforcements, and Bart stops vibrating invisibly. Iris and Barry both agree that Bart should join them. Nora disagrees, saying that she's almost 30, but Barry tells their children that they're not going out. Iris agrees with Barry, and threatens to lock both their children up in a pipeline cell. Shocked, the twins speed off.
Chester finds Allegra and tells her that he checked the readings and Allegra has only been blasting ultraviolet light, and only does that when she channels negative emotions. He asks her what's going on, and says that he knows something is wrong. Allegra finally tells Chester that Esperanza is dead and it's her fault because she wasn't there for her cousin. Chester assures Allegra that it isn't her fault she can't change the battery, and gets an idea.
Barry and Iris go to the lounge, and Barry wonders if there's a curse on their family. He says that it all started Thawne killed his mother, and their fight isn't over. Barry figures that history is repeating itself, then figures that they beat the Godspeed clones in 2021, August will never get his powers back and their won't be a Godspeed in 2049. Barry says that they have to break the chain.
The alarm goes off, and Chester gets a transmission from the Godspeeds. He plays it for Iris and Barry, and the Godspeeds say that Barry has to turn Bart over to them or they'll kill Jay.
Bart and Nora return, and Bart tells them to give them some time. Chester triangulates the Godspeeds' comm signals to Zauriel Cathedral. Bart speeds there, and Nora warns Barry that Bart knows it's a trap and Barry has to save Bart. Barry says that they have to save Bart.
Impulse arrives in the cathedral and finds Jay's helmet on the wall. He vows that he won't let it happen, just as the Godspeeds arrive with an unconscious Jay. They drop Jay on the ground and surround Impulse, and blast him.
Flash and Xs arrive and find the Godspeed blasting Impulse into the air, torturing him. Xs tells them to come and take her speed, and whispers to Flash that she's buying him time. All of the Godspeeds but one race after her, and the last one tells Flash that Impulse's rash nature killed him and now it will kill Flash as well. Flash speeds forward at the Godspeed, resisting his energy blast, and phases through him.
The Godspeed collapses and Impulse falls to the floor, unconscious. Jay recovers and joins Flash, just as Xs speeds in The other Godspeeds surround the three speedsters. Before Flash and the others can fight back, Vibe comes in and puts the Godspeeds in a temporary stasis.
Xs confirms that Impulse won't wake up, and they take him to STAR Labs. Bart doesn't wake up, and Nora blames herself for not stopping Bart from going. Nora says that Godspeed always goes after the people they love. Jay explains that the Godspeeds were feeding on his Speed Force. Barry says that he used Bart's early tactic to defeat the Godspeed, and Caitlin says that all of Bart's Speed Force is going to keep him alive.
Barry finds Vibe and greets him and Jay, and Vibe explains that Diggle told him what was happening and he came to help. Vibe explains that his stasis field is only temporary, and it won't work as the Godspeeds gain power. Barry figures that August knows why the Godspeeds are warring, and he has to project himself into August's mind. He suggests using the neural hypercollider, and Jay figures he can make some adjustments to the device with Vibe's help. Barry asks them to protect the city while he goes into August's mind and finishes the fight.
Carmen and Joe drive back to Central City, and Carmen refuses to discuss Creyke saying that she died. They see people driving out of Central city, and swerve to avoid an oncoming car. Two Godspeeds fight each other atop their car.
Jay hooks Barry and August up to the collider, and Cecile uses her powers to guide Barry. Iris warns Barry not to trust August, and Jay activates the collider. Barry tells August that he doesn't have to do it, and August says that he needs to know who he is.
Barry finds himself in a mindscape in August's mind, represented by a cathedral. August is there, dressed as Godspeed, and tells Barry that the cathedral is his future sanctum. August says that he expected Barry to come there, and he has all the answers to Barry's questions.
