Illegal batter. Restricted to dugout. Legal sub must take her place. The next batter would be would be number 2 in the batting order, assuming that FLEX batted in number 1's place.

True. Though of course, assuming again that the FLEX batted when number 1 should have batted, then the correct batter here would be number 2 in the lineup. See 3:4:2:a-d:Penalty.

FLEX is out, restricted to bench. #2 is the batter.

FLEX is restricted to the dugout and must be replaced by a legal substitute.
