We all know we will not technically name it an actual breakup, contemplating Iris (Candice Patton) is trapped in a mirror world and the one that’s been operating round Central Metropolis for the final 5 episodes is only a mirror copy, sporting her face, however rattling this nonetheless hurts!
Tuesday’s episode discovered Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) in Carver’s (Eric Nenninger) crosshairs after digging too deep into his felony actions. He bought so shut that Carver despatched Rag Doll (Troy James) to kill him. With Barry (Grant Gustin) slowly dropping his velocity and unable to hurry in to save lots of the day, plus one too many shut calls (certainly one of them together with a kidnapping and a bomb), Joe lastly realized that he wanted to enter witness safety.
In an effort to get him out of the town as shortly as potential, he left with out getting an opportunity to say goodbye to Iris, which didn’t go over effectively along with her Mirror Iris.

At the very least the promo for subsequent week’s episode appears to point that this latest outburst has compelled Barry to reexamine Iris’ unusual habits recently (and wow, there’s been a lot of it, it is nearly insane he hasn’t observed but), and he is come to the correct conclusion. This imposter is just not Iris, and it is as much as him to get his actual spouse again.
