Whereas it initially was not meant to be a season finale, The Flash Season 6 Episode 19 had the makings of 1, particularly with that cliffhanger.
There may be nonetheless an extended approach to go in taking down one of many two villains from the second half of The Flash Season 6, however the different one has been handled, for higher or for worse.
If something, this hour has arrange a whole season’s price of tales fairly properly, although which may imply that Iris, Kamilla, and presumably Singh can be trapped within the Mirrorverse for for much longer than anticipated.
Barry was caught in the course of the feud between Carver and Eva because the latter made her reappearance in the true world since she escaped the Mirrorverse.
Eva was decided to kill Carver, and since she had been planning his demise for nearly six years now, success was just about assured for her.
Carver: You are not my spouse. My spouse died within the particle accelerator explosion.
Eva: Nicely, I’ve by no means felt extra alive.
Carver: You are not even human.
Barry tried to avoid wasting Carver although Carver has confirmed to be a horrible man. Nevertheless, Barry’s diminishing pace, mixed with Eva’s planning and energy, Eva made killing Carver look simple.
Few villains can succeed as a lot as Eva has this season, and her variety of wins has undoubtedly knocked Barry and the remainder of Crew Flash down a couple of pegs.
However with the return of Joe and with Caitlin’s motivational speech to Barry, hope stays.
The most effective elements of Barry’s character is that he has an infinite quantity of hope and love. He’s the Paragon of Love, in any case.
It was the principle motive why he was the primary superhero chosen to get a spin-off from Arrow. Whereas Oliver Queen was darkish and broody, Barry Allen is a ray of sunshine and optimism who simply desires to assist everybody.
Perhaps as an alternative of specializing in what you have misplaced, it’s best to attempt remembering what you may by no means lose. The explanation you beat Zoom, Godspeed, Thawne is as a result of pace is not what drives you. It is love. That is your true power, and there’s nothing synthetic about that. So so long as you keep true to your self, you’ll at all times discover a approach to beat the unhealthy guys. And gals.

Barry does have his faults, after all, however you possibly can’t assist however admire him on the finish of the day as a result of he embodies what The Flash is about. And that was made extra evident than ever throughout this hour.
Close to the start of this episode, and others earlier than it, we questioned whether or not or not Eva was certainly a villain since her solely objective was to take down an evil man.
Barry reminded us that nobody ought to get to decide on who lives or dies, it doesn’t matter what the circumstances are. He even forgets that typically, as seen when Mirror Singh tried to make him a suggestion, however he at all times tries to do what is correct ultimately.
As implied, and perhaps subtly foreshadowed, by Ralph throughout his dialog with Sue, killing somebody stays with an individual and haunts them.
Eva killing Carver may do exactly that. Nevertheless, there have been additionally hints of Eva not even being human anymore since she spent so lengthy within the Mirrorverse. Her neural dissonance was certain to be off the charts.
Eva: Flash. Barry. You and I usually are not enemies. We by no means have been.
Barry: You simply killed him in chilly blood.
Eva: Your spouse got down to catch a foul man. She could not. However collectively, we may. We’re on the identical facet.
Barry: No.
Eva: Simply do not forget that.
There’s a likelihood that Eva is up to now gone that she feels nothing when she thinks about how she killed Carver — if something, she feels comfortable. If that plus her loopy cool powers do not make her a villain, I do not know what does.
Eva’s success and the event of her character make her fairly an intriguing villain, particularly as a result of she is one which Barry has not likely confronted earlier than. She desires nothing to do with him now that Carver is lifeless.
Plus, Eva is a robust girl now that she is again to being CEO of McCulloch Applied sciences, making her even harder to take down. It might not have been the plan, however I may see them spending lots of time specializing in Eva on The Flash Season 7.
If nonetheless being trapped within the Mirrorverse after 9 episodes was horrible, Iris seemingly disappearing altogether from it made it ten occasions worse.
Iris probably is just not gone eternally, given the truth that Eva survived in there for six years, however what occurred to her is up for debate.
She was affected by neural dissonance fairly badly within the scenes she was featured in, one thing that’s nonetheless affected Eva even now that she is out of the Mirrorverse — did anybody else catch that arm scratch?
Will Iris flip into no matter Eva is? Carver made lots of feedback relating to the dearth of humanity in his spouse. Or perhaps it was one thing so simple as teleporting to Singh? The longer she stays in there, the extra mirror powers she would possibly acquire.
No matter it’s and wherever Iris disappeared to, the fan theories are about to go wild till the following season premieres.
Ralph and Sue’s story simply obtained extra difficult.
Sue’s time working undercover at Black Gap was short-lived when Eva killed Carver, one thing she was making an attempt to do herself. The explanation why Carver would rent Sue when she so clearly desires to take revenge on him escapes me, however oh effectively.
Now that Carver is lifeless and not blackmailing Sue’s mother and father, they need to have had their comfortable ending. However Eva determined to complicate issues and body Sue for her husband’s homicide.
Sue: Why do you care?
Ralph: As a result of I consider in you! And I do know there’s nonetheless good in you. I can see it.
Sue eager to kill Carver makes her the right individual to blackmail, after which Eva can go on her merry means, figuring out that she obtained away with it. If Eva has confirmed in something, it’s how good she is.
Fortunately, Ralph is just not about to let Sue go down for a homicide that she didn’t commit. Attempting to clear her title is certain to carry the 2 of them nearer, and we’d simply see a comic book guide romance on our screens on the following season.
