Barry tells Ted that he knows Ted is the Blue Beetle which convinces Ted that Barry is from the future and together they build the new cosmic treadmill. Once back in the present Barry and Henry have a final battle where Henry tries sending Barry to the end of time but Barry dodges the time portal and pushes Henry in.
