Synopsis:
An alien from the planet Gyr arrives on Earth and informs the United Nations that he will destroy the Earth unless the Flash is turned over to him. The U.N. issues a worldwide alert to find the Flash and turn him in to authorities. The alien gives them his secret identity, revealing the secret to the world.

Flash refuses to turn himself in and contacts Kid Flash. He explains that the evil aliens intend to use him to power a time-reversal machine so that they can win a war on their home planet. The aliens plan to destroy Earth anyway. Kid Flash agrees to build a machine that Flash has designed to nullify the aliens' control of him. Flash then turns himself in.

The aliens teleport Flash back to their world, then use him to turn back time to a critical battle where they met their defeat. The aliens begin to reverse their loss, but Kid Flash completes the machine, allowing Flash to use his full speed without falling under alien control. He stops the aliens, then returns to Earth to defuse a chain-reaction that would have destroyed the planet.

Barry then asks Iris whether he should turn back time on Earth to protect the knowledge of his secret identity. She agrees to let Barry do it, thus the world including Iris never learns that Barry is the Flash. However, before resetting time, Barry agrees to reveal his secret to Iris on their wedding day.
