The Flash 3×21 Cause and Effect Review!

WARNING SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3 OF THE FLASH.

The Flash season 3 is down to its last three episodes. Last week we got the huge reveal of Savitar.

The episode opens up where the last one left off with Barry talking to his future self who became Savitar. Savitar reveals that he is a time remnant that Barry created when he fought Savitar in the future. Savitar spared that remnant and was rejected by Team Flash as he was an aberration. He became a God. Barry asks Savitar what will happen if he kills himself to which Savitar talks about how Eddie killing himself affected the Reverse Flash. They fight and both throw lighting at each other.

Later Barry tells team Flash about his discovery and Cisco connects it to the Legends. During the crossover, a message from future Barry warned not to trust anyone including Barry, and he was talking about Savitar. Savitar went back in time and spread his legend.

Team Flash tries to wipe Barry’s recent memories and stop him from making new ones. Unfortunately, they wipe him completely of all his memories. He calls himself Bart, which is a reference to Bart Allen aka Impulse or the second Kid Flash. Savitar forgets who he is and chokes Caitlin.

Barry has to testify to keep an arsonist in prison. Team Flash tries to do this with glasses that tell him what to do, but his sweat ruins them and the arsonist leaves. Killer Frost tries to help Team Flash fix Barry. They do and he saves people from a burning building and stops the arsonist. Team Flash now has a weapon in the speed cannon to take down Savitar, but need tons of power to power it. They need a power source from the dominators that is being guarded by King Shark in ARGUS. 

This was a fun episode of The Flash. The Savitar reveal makes sense as long as they don’t wreck it with time travel. The next episode is called Infantino Street. That is where Iris is supposed to die, but Barry and Team Flash have a plan.
