Synopsis for "Time Heist"

Linda finally gives birth to her and Wally's third child, a boy that they name Wade. Linda confirms that since giving birth she has lost her speed, meaning that her powers came from him.

Wally needs to go to Terrifictech to help with Mister Terrific's attempt to tap into Hypertime, but he promises Linda he will return as soon as it is done. They activate the machine and successfully create a temporal distortion. Meanwhile, a nurse comes to Linda's hospital room and takes Wade away, ostensibly for tests. A minute later, another nurse comes in for him and Linda realises the other nurse was an impostor. She runs out of the room in a panic, while at Terrifictech the device they were using burns out. As soon as it fails, Linda's hospital room blows up. The hospital calls Wally and tells him that Wade is presumed dead, but the time machine cracks open and the Hourman of the 853rd Century emerges and tells him that Wade has been captured by Granny Goodness.

An hour later, Hourman explains to Wally, Linda and Mister Terrific that he was fighting Extant, when he was suddenly caught in an explosion and found himself trapped in a small room at Timepoint. On the other side of the wall, he heard Granny and Wade and overheard Granny say she would take Wade to the Palace of Eternity and transport away. He was able to use the crack they left in Hypertime to escape his prison and followed it to the moment the device was activated. He tells them that he needs the Worlogog to reach the Palace and shows them a hologram of it. Wally recognises the Worlogog as the "Timeglass", the power source of Gold Beetle's ship. He uses the hypertime device to deliberately trigger a dangerous temporal distortion that his time-travelling protege will respond to.

Gold Beetle does indeed arrive on the scene and collapse the distortion, but doesn't recognise any of them. Wally realises that this is her first meeting with him and explains that he is her friend in the future and he needs her help. She decides to trust him if her future self does and gives him the Worlogog. They call in Kid Flash and the Terrifics to help them and install the Worlogog on a starship to carry them to the Palace of Eternity. They jet into space and activate the Worlogog. As soon as they enter Hypertime, there is an impact on the ship. To Wally's amazement, his wrestling tag-team partner Omega-Bam-Man has crashed into the ship's main screen.
