Synopsis for "The One-Minute War, Finale: One More Minute"

Wally wakes up at Timepoint, surrounded by the supposed victims of Sanctuary, alive and well. He assumes he is dead and in the afterlife, but Gold Beetle explains that; just before he was hit by the Fraction's guns, his body dematerialised due to being supercharged with Speed Force Energy, and he was ejected from the Force into Timepoint. He asks how the Sanctuary victims are alive and she reminds him that he asked her to save them during their adventure when he possessed Impulse's body in the future.

He tells her Earth is under attack by the Fraction in his time, but she already knows and is ready to take the survivors back to the present to help fight them off, she has just been waiting for him. They outfit themselves with stolen Fraction conduit harnesses which will allow them to move at super-speed for a brief time and board Gold Beetle's ship.

Back on Earth, the Flash Family battle the Fraction Elite. Barry is able to rip off the Admiral's harness but they still struggle to get past the Fraction forces. Suddenly, Wally and the others arrive and join the fight, giving the Flash Family the distraction they need to make a run to the engine room. Unfortunately, the Sanctuary survivor's harnesses fail quickly and they freeze.

The Admiral gets up despite not having a harness, revealing that he is an organic conduit. The others attack him in a rage, as they consider him an abomination, but he easily kills them all. The Flash Family reach the engine room and Max Mercury tells the others he believes they are destined to succeed and the Speed Force has ensured they will all be there; by preventing him from travelling into the future, extending Jay's life and bringing Bart to the present. They drop down into the core and start running around the engine.

The Admrial follows them into the engine room, but Wally chases after him and attacks before he can reach the others. Anhtro is stronger but Wally is able to throw him into an open battery compartment, trapping him inside and adding his Speed Force energy to the others. As time starts to reverse, Wally tells Anthro that he won't be affected by the changes go the timeline, so he will stay trapped in the battery forever.

Time jumps back one minute, and on the bridge of the Fraction ship, the Admiral seemingly disappears. The Fraction withdraw to search for him, unaware that he's trapped in their engine. Back on Earth, Wally reunites with Linda and Irey, and Barry runs to the restaurant and asks Iris, restored to life, to marry him.

The Flash Family and the Sanctuary survivors return to the West's home to celebrate. Meanwhile, with the Fraction defeated the way forward in the timeline is open again, and so Max and Bart race off into the future together.
