![]() ![]() Not only is her life on the line, but those of her friends and family who may not physically die, but are broken by the experience. With or without the Speed Force trap, saving Iris is more important than ever. ![]() But whether they can spring it before future-Barry kills her remains to be seen. (or some version of Harrison Wells) is also present during the scene of Iris' murder. implies they'll have the Speed Force trap in time for the finale. What happens when they learn that Iris' murderer is an evil Barry from the future? (Besides what looks like a hilarious sequence where they wipe Barry's memories in next week's episode.)īringing Tracy Brand on board - and setting her up to stick around for a while, likely as a Caitlin Snow stand-in and love interest for H.R. Saving Iris has been the driving force for this back half of season 3, serving as not just Barry's motivation, but Joe, Wally, and most certainly Iris', too. (And frankly, Panabaker is so much fun as Killer Frost, why not let her be bad for a while?) Villainy is a slippery slope and Caitlin may already be lost. And while Killer Frost is more a split personality inhabiting Caitlin rather than Caitlin herself, it's no less unsettling to see her so easily agree to murder an innocent woman - only to then also threaten to kill another innocent woman if Team Flash doesn't hand her over. Sent on a mission to kill Tracy before Team Flash can convince her to help, Killer Frost comes frighteningly close to owning up to her name. The same cannot be said, however, of Killer Frost. Julian's needling of Cisco to use his powers against Killer Frost, Joe's relationship hurdles, and even the introduction of Tracy Brand come across as being sorta-filler, delaying the impact of the real bombshell. 'I Know Who You Are' is an episode that's mostly concerned with the big reveal coming in its finale minute, and because of this, much of the development for any other subplot feels like an after thought. Still, there's no denying the wrench this throws into any of their plans to defeat Savitar, promising a most interesting final showdown between Flash and future Flash. And ones that The Flash is going to be hard-pressed to answer in the remaining episodes. We may finally have our answer to the question of Savitar's identity, but in the end, learning it only raises more questions. So how'd he get that? Does his life become even worse after getting Team Flash back together, resulting in the unsightly injury? Outside of a goatee, there's no better visual cue that a character is the evil version than a nasty looking scar. Also, cool scar, Savitar-Barry (Savitarry?). Like why does a future-version of Barry - a version from a later date than the future-time present-Barry visited last week - want to kill Iris? The future-Barry introduced last week was a wreck in the wake of Iris' death, surely any version of Barry post-that tragedy would want to avert it, not cause it. So while the twist wasn't as shocking as intended, the reveal is still one with huge implications for where season 3 goes in these final episodes. ![]()
