'The Flash’ Season 3 Episode 9 Spoilers, News & Updates: Effects Of The Flashpoint May Have Caused More Damage Than Initially Thought

The Dominators have been defeated in ‘The Flash’ Season 3 and the first four-way crossover on the CW left a mark on all four shows, “Supergirl,” “Arrow,” “The Flash” and “Legends of Tomorrow.”

The Wrap revealed that during the crossover between "The Flash," "Arrow," "Supergirl" and DC’s "Legends of Tomorrow," Dominators had a decade-long truce with planet earth which Barry(Grant Gustin) essentially broke by creating the Flashpoint timeline. However, the Dominators wanted Barry to surrender himself or the aliens would release a bomb over Earth that would target all metahumans.

The repercussions of Flashpoint are not over just yet. According to the executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, the byline of Iris (Candice Patton) is no longer in the future newspaper. This will create “further complications” down the line, and there seems to be an arrival of another husk villain, who was created by Alchemy(Julian Albert) that the heroes will have to deal with.

On the “The Flash” Season 3 Episode 8, the rest of the heroes discovered the truth about Flashpoint during the crossover through an audio recording that future Barry sent to MIA Legends character Rip Hunter(Arthur Darvill) basically admitting to changing everyone’s lives, and that no one, not even himself, can be trusted in the future. Flashpoint could not be the only reason that Barry left that message. Andrew Kreisberg said, “The message from the future relates to Flashpoint, but it also may relate to something else coming up”.

Comic Book reports that the Flashpoint reveal may have at first damaged the relationship between Barry and Cisco(Carlos Valdes), but the events of Invasion have healed their friendship. Based on Episode 7 of Flash, Cisco and Barry were probably at their lowest point, because Cisco learned that Dante died in the Flashpoint conundrum.

Lily Stein(Victor Garber) concluded not go back in time to fix the alternate history that gave him a grown up daughter. Now, he and his Firestorm partner Jax (Franz Drameh) are keeping the altered timeline a secret from the rest of the team. Nobody knows if the secret will cause strife within teams.

The next “The Flash” is anticipated to be aired next week Tuesday.
