Because Barry finally understood that the best way to defeat Eobard was not by fighting him, not by screaming at him, but rather by showing Barry's humanity and compassion.

It's very interesting seeing Barry talk to Thawne, face to face, knowing that he will go through the trauma that Thawne put him through, but he's already gone through it and a younger version of himself will go through all those events with the Reverse Flash. From the day that Barry's mother got killed by the Reverse Flash, to the day that Reverse Flash disguised himself as Harrison Wells to be a mentor for Barry, then Barry gradually learning that Thawne is using someone else's identity and that he's evil, to becoming full on enemies with Thawne. It all matches up, and the Barry that is talking with Eobard knows that this as all happened to him and will happen to a past version of him.

[@deadpooldan9862]

It’s ironic how reliving the worst day of your life, literally in this case, can bring you the peace you’ve been longing and looking for your whole life. Before this day, I don’t think Barry could ever forgive Eobard for everything, so he’d always be stuck in the cycle of violence with him, but now, he’s finally able to truly move on with his life without the pain and darkness of this night dragging him back and keeping him from being truly happy. He’ll always miss his parents, but he’s not gonna let that keep him from moving on and living his best life. This is truly a full circle moment for Barry, and it’s great to see. It’s also ironic Thawne’s destiny is to be trapped in a cycle of trying to kill Barry Allen, and it leads to his own death in the end.

[@byonemesis]

And Thawne's scream says it all. He knew that Barry was right yet was unable to cope with what Flash said. And ultimately, that's what led him to what we all saw in 8x20 : always wanting to destroy Barry and not hesitating to use the Negative Forces to start up an Armageddon just to destroy Barry, which backfired and ended up by Eobard dying from his own attack...

This episode has to be up there of the best episode in the whole of Flash, what a full circle moment filled with emotions, callbacks, and just a resolution for our Barry finally coming into terms of why this moment was meant to be, him thanking Thawne for giving that second chance to live and breathe with his parents again! Also my theory of Malcolm is that, the Eddie from season 1 that shot himself to erase Eobard from existence, Eddie got sucked into the singularity and at some point in that singularity, he got reseted and sent to a new timeline/world where he is thinking everything is normal and living as Malcolm Gilmore. Remember in season 1 where Eobard kidnapped Eddie, Eobard mentioned Eddie was a throwaway in the Thawne family history, the one that was forgotten in the Thawne family. I just feel it has a link.

I can understand that. But that wouldn't really bother Thawne. He wants Barry to suffer, whether he hates Thawne for it or not. What Barry says here is, in fact, much MORE hurtful to Thawne (although that is not Barry's intention): Thawne has Barry's GRATITUDE, which means that all Thawne's scheming to make Barry's suffer has (and WILL) come to naught.

[@velocity5249]

Here my theory: The timeline never changed. Everything that happened was supposed to happened. It makes sense! It slightly different than season 1 flashback but I’m letting that slide because that was on Earth 1! (Everyone else should think this too. Or not. I’m not the boss of you.) this is Earth Prime version of that night. But it still fits. In fact it fits with what eobard told us back in season 1: Eobard: “Until I learned your secret. I learned your name. Barry Allen. And finally, I knew how to defeat you once and for all. Travel back in time, kill you as a child. Wipe you from the face of the earth. But then you, future you, that is, followed me back, and we fought. We both landed some pretty solid shots. And then you, future you, got your younger self out of there. I was so mad. But then I thought... what if you were to suffer a tragedy? What if you were to suffer something so horrible, so traumatic that your child self could never recover? Then you would not become The Flash. And so I stab your mother in the heart, and I was free. Finally able to return to a future without The Flash, only to realize that in traveling back I'd lost my way home. Lost my ability to harness the speed force. And without it, I was stuck here. Stranded in this time, unable to return to my own. And the only way back was The Flash. But The Flash was gone, and so I created him.” Then eobard figure out killing barry’mom it’s a fixed point Everything he does was already supposed to happened. Which break him. But The universe or speedforce couldn’t let him know that. Which is why this happened: 1:41 some unknown entity(No idea yet possibly cobalt blue or the negative speed force?) had to make sure Eobard thinks he changed the past. So it’s teleport Barry away to somewhere( I have no idea. I’m literally typing this just right after it released. so part 2-4 haven’t came yet.) But from Eobard perspective it look like as if the flash vanished from existence. This would give him the motivation to create the flash. Thus cementing his role for season 1. What do you guys think? Other than that this was worth the 9 year wait! I can’t wait to see the rest.

Look at it from this perspective. Eddie in any other story would have become the villain. Been revealed to be two faced in his personality. If Iris left him for Barry, he'd go nuclear. Instead Eddie Thawne was a good man despite everything thrown at him. He was the guy quick to forgive Barry for the Iris kiss and the guy who quickly believed in the Flash after thinking he was a threat. To turn him into villain (something we've seen allies on this show do), dishonors the character. It's easy to corrupt a character. Harder to keep them good.
