‘The Flash’: ‘The Present’ Review

The Flash took part of a massive 4-show crossover last week, but this week’s mid-season finale brought it to a whole new level as Savitar takes the game to the next level. We learn about Julian’s involvement with Savitar from four years ago and how he came to be Savitar’s Alchemy. Barry Allen runs over to Earth-3 to ask help from Jay Garrick, right after he helps stop that world’s version of The Trickster.

Back on Earth-1, Jay explains to Barry what he knew about Savitar which also gave featured a brief look of the new big bad before he was suited up. Jay and Barry take on Savitar together, but Jay gets almost brutally crushed by the godlike speedster. While Barry manages to get the stone in his possession, which in turn locks Savitar away. However, Barry also discovers that Julian is Doctor Alchemy and takes him to Star Labs. Julian reveals that he has been having blackouts and Barry agrees to try and help him out.

Cisco begins to see his dead brother’s spirt that encourages him to open the box. When Savitar is unleashed once again, Wally tries to help Barry out, but Caitlin manages to convince Cisco to close it and Savitar disappears again. When the team manages, through technology, to speak directly to Savitar through Julian, the evil speedster explains that a clock is ticking, someone will be a traitor, someone will suffer a fate worse than death, but someone….will also die.

Barry and Jay try to trap the stone inside the Speed Force and while they succeed, Barry is taken to the future and witnesses his worst nightmare. Jay advices Barry though that he needs to focus on the now, that the future is not set in stone. The team later on celebrates Christmas together and Barry gives Iris the biggest gift of all time.
