Synopsis for "The Secret of Barry Allen: Part Three: Spinning"

Zatanna and Flash find the Top. Flash restrains the Top and Zatanna puts him to sleep. Zatanna casts a spell to restore the Tops memory and he remembers everything. The Top awakens and begins fighting. He knocks out Zatanna by stealing the air around her. As they are fighting, the Top tells Flash that while he was a hero, the Top made several of the Flash's enemies reform just as Barry Allen and Zatanna made the Top reform. The Top tells Flash he can't trust any of his allies that used to be rogues, because they are still under the same spell that Zatanna used on the Top. The Top escapes.

Flash tells Oliver Queen what he was told by The Top.

In Keystone City, the Rogues learn of Captain Boomerang's death and that he had a son. They go to see Boomerang's son.

Flash tells the JLA what he was told by The Top and then he returns to his apartment building where he finds police outside. Some kids in the apartment building dropped paint cans that hit a police car. Linda Park is on the scene and she asks Flash for an interview.
