This must tap into something inside of Dr. The swooning Caitlin Snow helps a bit, and when it's done she flirts up a storm with the handsome devil (who exits saying he needs a shower and a shave despite having a perfectly clean-shaven face.) Alt-Flash, Jay Garrick, is building a "speed cannon" to get back to his own world and stop Zoom. And Iris, thank the gods, forgives him.įinally we come to the last of the episodes three threads. It was love, not foolishness, guiding his giant white lie. He lied not to protect her from some imaginary villain, but from a hard and heart-breaking truth. And his reasoning, though flawed, was sound. At least this time, Joe's apology for the lie was truly heartfelt and touching. She's far from my favorite character, but everyone in her life keeps lying to her again and again. You have to feel a bit bad for Iris at this point.
Instead, she was a junkie who overdosed one too many times and then ran away-not just from the rehab Joe had put her in, but from her family, too. Turns out he'd lied to Iris this whole time about her mother having died. Joe's worst nightmare has come true: Francine, his long-absent wife, has returned as if from the dead. In plot #2, we leave the criminal Snart family behind and discover new information about the cop family West. And I agree, though partly that's because I've seen the trailer for Arrow/Flash spin-off Legends of Tomorrow. I've also always kind of liked Captain Cold and his deadpan sarcasm. "There's good in you," he says, channeling Luke Skywalker. But Barry is also convinced that Snart can come over to the light side of the Force.
