Having visited Barry, his original stated goal, Impulse climbs back into his time machine to return to the future. Nothing happens and it seems Impulse is now stuck in the present due to the machine's breakdown. We then flash-forward once again to the future Impulse came from, where it's implied originally Barry died that day and in time Neutron and others like him devastated the entire planet. Neutron himself was the one who built the capsule device that cured the villain in the past, and together with Impulse had planning all along to use the time machine to change the future for the better. Bart knew from the start that he would never be able to return home. Unfortunately, though Bart's actions save Neutron from 40 years of crime and destruction, [[TimeyWimeyBall the rest of the future is still in ruins.]]

Notes:
* Barry Allen's grandson from the future, Impulse (Bart Allen), is introduced. He was one of the three founding members of Comicbook/YoungJustice in the comics, together with Robin (Tim Drake) and Superboy.
* Jay Garrick, [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks the original Flash]], also appears this episode.
* The original Roy Harper is reintroduced after last being seen in "Auld Acquaintance".

Notes:
ruins.

!!Tropes:
* AppropriatedAppellation: Bart takes his codename from Nightwing commenting about a "random energy impulse"
* BadFuture: Forty years from now, the Earth is a ruin, and Mount Justice has been destroyed. Bart built a time machine to try and undo this, but whatever he does only cures Neutron's powers. Everything else remains the same.
* BeneathTheMask: Some, but not all, of Bart's goofball behavior is an act.
* DorkKnight:
Barry Allen's grandson from Allen, the future, Impulse (Bart Allen), is introduced. He was one of Flash, the three Fastest Man Alive, founding members member of Comicbook/YoungJustice in the comics, together Justice League. Loves cracking terrible, terrible puns about his powers incessantly.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Wally has difficulty keeping up
with Robin (Tim Drake) Barry and Superboy.
Bart. That'll be important later.
* Jay Garrick, [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks FutureSlang: "Mode" and "crash" for Bart.
* LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand: As
the original Flash]], also appears this episode.
*
time machine materializes, tense ''Terminator''-esque music builds up, and then Bart pops out. The original Roy Harper is reintroduced music stops dead.
* {{Motormouth}}: Barry and Bart, helped by their superspeed. At one point they converse, with their voices getting higher and faster until it cuts to a baffled Wally looking on as the two talk too fast to be understood.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Bart pretends to trip as he and Barry are approaching a critical Neutron, though
after he picks himself up Barry realizes if he'd gotten any closer he would've been killed.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Roy and Cheshire are surrounded by an army of angry, angry ninja. The next time we see them, they're mopping the floor with the
last being seen ones.
* RetiredBadass: Jay Garrick was supposed to be retired to reassure his wife, but briefly steps back
in "Auld Acquaintance".

to help deal with Neutron.
* RippleEffectIndicator: In the final scene, Future Neutron's scars disappear immediately after Bart leaves, but everything else remains the same.
* SayingTooMuch: Bart accidentally lets slip to Barry that he's about to be a dad a little ahead of schedule, and also reveals to Iris, who already knew she was pregnant, that she's expecting ''twins''. These might not be accidental slip-ups, but he does confirm he never really knew his grandfather at one point.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: Bart borrows Barry's enthusiasm for garbage puns.
* SoMuchForStealth: Roy and Cheshire deal with a few ninja guards silently. Then Lian's cooing echoes through the entire monastery, drawing the attention of every other ninja.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Roy finds it deeply concerning Lian enjoys watching her parents beat up ninjas. Cheshire figures it's just genetic.
