When Iris counters him that Barry's vanishing encounter is still five years away, The Monitor clarifies saying the date has shifted to December 10, 2019. He tells a shocked Barry that he must die in order to save the world as a grave threat is coming their way. The series sets up the 'Crisis' from episode 1 with The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) making an appearance in the time vault in the final few minutes of the episode. While he sees an immediate effect, his hand begins to transform and the scene fades to black. When Snow declines, he manages to get hold of the dark matter gun and injects the serum from it.

To cure the disease, he calls in his longtime colleague Caitlin to help obtain some dark matter as it would kill the cancer.

While his eulogy speaks of her as a woman who instilled a never-give-up attitude, Ramsey blames her for being timid and accepting death after being diagnosed with HLH Cancer. Ramsey makes an appearance in 'Into the Void' and is introduced mourning his dead mother. She dons the new suit gifted to her by Cisco. While Barry is dealing with the black hole, Caitlin Snow aka Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) helps people get to safety on the ground with Hartley Sawyer's Ralph Dibny aka The Elongated Man. The heartening part that would please Flash's fans is when Queen's 'The Flash' theme plays in the background as Barry pulls off the mission without breaking into a sweat. The suit is seen when Barry is stopping Chester’s black hole from usurping the city. The suit inspired from the New 52 company-wide comic is a treat - with the yellow seams running from the belt all the way up to the chest and the shoulders. Cisco threads it to Barry's suit and with the new upgrade, the Scarlet Speedster runs into the black hole and accomplishes the mission. He makes use of Nora's gauntlet that contains the filament capable of helping Barry get out safely from the black hole and keep Runk's consciousness intact. For Barry, this means using his lightning as a positive charge that would help pull Runk's consciousness which is infected with negative charges. In order to stop it from absorbing the city, the only way is to separate his consciousness from the black hole. The black hole takes over his mind and comes to life in different parts of the city- places that hold emotional value to Runk. Runk - and the geek vlogger manages to build a black hole using parts rummaged from a dumpster yard. The trailer showed a brief voiceover and an appearance by Chester P. According to in-house tech genius Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), the 'Godspeed' Barry managed to pin down is the fourth person assuming the identity of the speedster.

Barry is currently in pursuit of unmasking the real Godspeed after the evil speedster somehow managed to make his way to the past to find duplicates and turn them into speedsters.
