* StuffedIntoTheFridge: In the "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S3E9ThePresent The Present]]," Barry sees a vision of the near future where Iris is murdered by Savitar. The second half of the season is about trying to prevent this future, with Savitar determined to make sure it happens in order to make Barry suffer and bring about his own existence. Over the course of these episodes we get the [[SarcasmMode lovely]] sight of Iris being impaled by Savitar over and over.

* SecretTestOfCharacter: When Barry and Snart try to steal the Dominator tech from ARGUS to save Iris, Snart is trapped in a room with King Shark and urges Barry to ditch him and run. Barry refuses and tells Sisko to hack the door and save him. And afterwards, they run into Director Michaels, who reveals she saw the whole thing on the cameras. If Flash was willing to risk failing the mission and losing Iris to save his teammate, it meant she could trust him with the tech.

* LoweredMonsterDifficulty: Savitar is much weaker after escaping the Speed Force. It's justified by explaining he was always ''trapped'' [[SealedEvilInACan in the Speed Force]], and only able to escape via the Philosophers's Stone, meaning while in the physical realm he was tapped directly into the Speed Force. Once the Philosopher's Stone is in the Speed Force, Savitar was able to escape but no longer had the same "God among speedsters" power.

* AesopCollateralDamage: In order to really drive the point home that Barry shouldn't misuse his time travel powers, the Speed Force wills it so when Barry undoes Flashpoint, he finds himself living in a {{deconstruction}} of the CloseEnoughTimeLine:
** Iris is estranged from Joe because he kept the fact that Francine was alive a secret. However thanks to Barry, they quickly reconcile.
** Cisco's brother Dante is killed by a drunk driver and Cisco spends a good chunk of the first half, mad at Barry for not going back to save and then mad at him for creating Flashpoint which led to his death. It isn't until "Invasion" and time travels himself that he learns the consequences are unpredictable and he shouldn't hold a grudge against Barry.
** Caitlin finds herself transforming into Killer Frost just like her Earth-2 counterpart.
** Barry now has an insufferable coworker at CCPD, Julian who is superior and Barry is force to do all the mundane paper work instead of running tests
** John and Lyla's daughter Sara is now replaced by John Jr. Although since the Legends had previously met a grownup John Jr in a possible future, this one raises a lot of questions.

* PlotHole: Due to Harrison Wells having filmed a video confessing to the murder of Barry's mother, he's a criminal wanted for murder in this universe, so when H.R. (who, being an alternate universe of Harrison Wells, obviously has the same face and name) goes out in public, he needs to use a transmogrifier device to make his face look like a friend's, as well as give a false name. Come "The Once and Future Flash", where Barry travels 8 years into the future and suddenly H.R. is publishing adventure books using his real name and face. Apparently, 8 years is enough for people (and the justice system) to forget all about your criminal past.
