![]() The conflict is a very real one, and not one easily resolved. In this new timeline, Cisco’s brother, Dante, had died in a car accident that wasn’t supposed to happen, and, despite the fact it seemed he and Barry were working through this, his resentment is continuing to grow. While much of reality shifted back, there were significant changes, the repercussions of which are still being felt and likely will continue to be. But ultimately recognizing the danger he had put the universe in by creating this timeline, he went back to let his mother die and put things as they were, only it didn’t entirely work. What provides weight, and is a strong dramatic element of the rest of the episode (and, indeed, all this season of The Flash) is the continuing impact of “Flashpoint.” At the end of season two, Barry decided to race backwards in time to save his mother from being murdered at the hands of the Reverse-Flash, resulting in a new timeline that he lived in for three months with both of his parents (his father killed last year by the speedster Zoom). When they return to “our” Earth, it is, admittedly, very cool to see all of these characters interacting, and one is struck by how far television visual effects have come that something like this could be pulled off so effectively without a cheese factor.

The Flash: Season 3, Episode 8 - Invasion #A.t.o.m. scene arrow season 4 episode 5 fullThat is the full connection that the episode has to the crossover (and the same scene is repeated in the episode of The Flash). Barry, who met her last season on Supergirl in the crossover "World’s Finest," introduces her to Cisco and then states that he needs her help. In reality, although the characters from all four shows appear, it kicks off with episode eight of Supergirl’s second season, “Medusa,” which, while being one of the strongest episodes of the year so far, also has only the barest of connections to “Invasion.” Twice during the show a dimensional rift briefly opens before vanishing and only at episode’s end does Kara Danvers (Supergirl) come home to her apartment to find Barry Allen (The Flash) and Cisco Ramon (Vibe) waiting for her. ![]() One could argue that another McGuffin is the idea that this is a four-part crossover. ![]()
