At the “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Supergirl” and “Legends of Tomorrow” panel at PaleyFest last weekend, executive Andrew Kreisberg revealed that Barry will subsequently go to the future in episode 19 in order to gain more information about Savitar. “Barry decides that the only way he can find out what he needs to know is in the future,” Kreisberg said (via Entertainment Weekly) of the Scarlet Speedster’s reason for doing another risky time travel.
