The Flash is all set to finish its first season with a bang, with Barry finally going to the past to save his mother from the Reverse Flash and in turn change the course of history.
The biggest question that has been on everyone's minds have been is, how will this effect the current timeline? Well, Grant Gustin while in an interview with TVGuide shed some light on the issue and confessed that everything "doesn't necessarily go as planned," and everything that's been established about the present and the future may change.
"What's fun about this show is that there's going to be multiple timelines as we move forward," Gustin says. "I think we're going to start showing Earth-One and Earth-Two in the near future. There will be kind of different dimensions going on," he said.
In the DC Universe, of course, Earth-One and Earth-Two are distinct universes that exist within a multiverse, and have different versions of the same heroes. Could this be how we get our villainous Caitlin Snow aka Killer Frost? Jay Garrick could also be a great addition to the show. Recent set images revealed his helmet near the Reverse Flash's time sphere, so it does look likely.

As for how the writers will manage the now three shows, as well as a multiverse, Carlos Valdes had this to say, "It gets a little Rubik's Cube-y in terms of keeping consistency between all these timelines and whatnot. But the writers have their stuff together. If I were to trust anyone, it would be them."
The season one finale of The Flash will air today on The CW.
