They tricked me really in believing there's no Iris in this Episode again, BUT...
...what the actual f***?!
So, Nora can spend a whole season in the past without changing anything, but Barry will not even travel to the future to see if she's well, because of Flashpoint? How does that make any sense? That Flashpoint argument is nonsense. He wouldn't change the past by doing so. He would only change the present and it's future outcome which he is already doing by trying to prevent the "Godspeed Civil War". At least he tries timetravel after a talk about family with Diggle and fails by doing so, because of a Godspeed barrier. At the end Nora shows up and all concerns Barry had are unfounded. It's great that we literally dealt with something over a period of two full episodes that didn't need to be worried.
And why is Diggle still Spartan after he found something that glows green? Was that scene from the last Arrow episode, which indicated that he's becoming Green Lantern and was shown again in this episode, just a lie? And how did non-superpowered Spartan defeat a Godspeed clone? I have so many questions, but not in a good way.

@disgustedguy Diggle isn't green lantern yet because he's been putting off wearing the ring. It's why he was having such bad headaches. A few weeks ago he was in Gotham on Batwoman to get checked up because he didn't know what was causing them. He's also going to be in Supergirl and Superman & Lois. Basically doing a tour of the current arrowverse on his way to becoming Green Lantern. He also managed to beat the Godspeed clone by shooting him with speed sapping nanites in the same way Oliver did to Thawn in season 1
But yeah, Barry refusing to go to the future because of flashpoint makes no sense. He can't make another flashpoint by changing something in the future. To his present it hasn't happened yet. In the same vein, why doesn't he care about Nora coming back from the future when he's become to anti-time travel because of the consequences?
And if he couldn't make it to 2047 because of the Godspeed blockade, how is Nora just able to travel back in time?
