26	1	"Echo"	Nia Calder	Alex Brow & Tessa Morgan & Jordan Pike	October 5, 2029 (2029-10-05)
CCPD receives a new Major Crimes transfer, Eddie Thawne, whose appearance is identical to Eobard Thawne. Barry initially attacks Eddie, but testing confirms that he has no Speed Force signature and possesses a separate documented life despite sharing almost identical DNA with Eobard. Cisco's abilities suggest that Eddie is instead an "echo" created by altered history and reveal visions of a mysterious blue crystal. Meanwhile, temporal anomalies spread across Central City and converge at Union Station, trapping a commuter train inside a repeating four-second loop. Barry evacuates the passengers while Eddie cuts the rail power, allowing Barry, Wally and Cisco to stop the train when the loop collapses. Barry later apologizes to Eddie and accepts that he is not Eobard. That night, Eddie discovers the blue crystal beneath Union Station and is engulfed in cold blue fire, leaving a cobalt mark beneath his skin.
27	2	"The Blue Flame"	Mateo Ruiz	Alex Brow & Lena Ortiz & Marcus Vale	October 12, 2029 (2029-10-12)
Eddie develops blue-flame abilities that allow him to absorb and redirect kinetic energy, publicly exposing his powers when he stops a runaway bus. Cisco discovers that Eddie's history was created retroactively after Barry altered time and that the blue crystal beneath Union Station is connected to him. Removing the crystal destabilizes a temporal fracture beneath the station, forcing Eddie to return it; instead, the crystal dissolves into his body and permanently bonds with his nervous system. Eddie begins training with Barry to control his new abilities, while Wally receives a new suit and reluctantly accepts the name Kid Flash. Residual energy from the fracture later threatens the Central City Energy Exchange, where Barry, Wally and Eddie work together to stop three overloaded turbines. Cisco subsequently discovers that the crystal originally formed around residual yellow lightning left behind by Eobard, while Eddie gains controlled command of the blue flame.
28	3	"Cobalt"	Elena Park	Alex Brow & Tessa Morgan & Marcus Vale & Ren Ito	October 19, 2029 (2029-10-19)
Eddie joins Barry, Wally and Cisco in confronting Joey Monteleone / Tar Pit, a dormant metahuman awakened when Eddie's Blue Flame resonates with old dark matter beneath Central City. Cisco discovers that Eddie was created by the timeline to repair damage caused by Barry and Eobard's interference in 2006, using Eobard's physical imprint but giving Eddie his own memories and identity. When Tar Pit expands through an abandoned quarry, Eddie helps redirect his living asphalt away from Central City's storm drains, allowing the team to subdue him. Barry later tells Eddie the truth about his creation and promises never to erase him by changing history again. Struggling with the knowledge that his remembered past was created retroactively, Eddie studies Eobard's records before visiting his father's grave, where he resolves that whatever created him does not determine who he becomes.
