Not only can the Time Masters view time using the Oculus, they can also manipulate time.Druce also reveals that the Time Masters have been using Rip to bring about Savage’s rise to power.Rip looks into the Oculus and sees that Druce is telling the truth (he also sees a vision of Ray seemingly getting vaporized).What’s more, the Time Masters also ordered Savage to kill Rip’s family in order to spur Rip into action.

The Time Masters bring a defeated Rip back to their holding cells, where he explains the truth to Ray and Stein.Rip also said that he saw Ray’s death in the Oculus.

In 2016, past Stein and Jax work on building a Time Sphere to get him back into the future.

Meanwhile, the Time Masters continue reprogramming Rory into Chronos.Rory tries to resist, but eventually returns to his bounty hunting persona.The Time Masters unleash him and tell him to hunt down Sara and Snart.

As Ray tells Rip and Stein not to give up hope, Sara and Snart plant devices on the exteriors of the other time ships, so Gideon can hack into their computers.After Gideon brings the Time Drive back online, the Waverider takes off.When the other Time Ships try to pursue, Gideon corrupts their computer systems, shutting all the ships down.The Waverider then “jumps” into the timestream, only to return to attack the Vanishing Point.Druce tries to order the rest of the team’s execution, but Snart saves the day and knocks Druce out.Unfortunately before Snart can free the others, Chronos arrives and aims his gun at Snart.However, Chronos turns and shoots the Time Master who had tortured him and then crushes his skull under his boot.

Rip explains the Time Masters’ manipulation and why the team doesn’t stand a chance at saving the world from Savage.Ray realizes they need to destroy the Oculus in order to stop the Time Masters (since the Oculus doesn’t work inside the Vanishing Point), and so Rip orders the Waverider to head to the Oculus Wellspring.

Rory gives Ray a surprisingly sentimental pep talk about his impending death.Rory says that if he can survive the Time Masters’ brainwashing, Ray can survive anything the Time Masters throw at him.

Snart apologizes to Sara for pulling his gun on him, and then makes an unexpected pass at Sara.Sara’s not interested though and storms off.

As Snart, Sara and Firestorm fight the Time Masters outside, Ray tries to sabotage the Oculus.Ray takes off his helmet and gloves to function better, but Rip warns him that is how he dies.Ray doesn’t care, because all he’s ever wanted to do was to make a difference.However, when Ray discovers a failsafe in the Oculus that would require him to stay behind to trigger the explosion, Rory knocks Ray out and takes his place.
