Spoiler Alert!
Hello people!
And, just like that, we arrived at the season finale of The Flash... It's really a bummer because we were supposed to have, at least, three more episodes this season, and I'm pretty sure those would've change the whole thing.
But anyway, after watching the episode for a second time, I realized that it wasn't that bad. It was actually pretty good if you keep in mind that this wasn't supposed to be the Season Finale. Initially I thought it was a lame ending and, although I still think some parts were lame, I think it worked as a finale. The downside is that we're stuck with Eva as a villain for, at least, the beginning of next season. I did understand Eva a bit better this episode but still, I don't think she works as a villain. Plus, her work is done - she killed Carver - so... What's her deal now? I guess we'll have to wait for next season (maybe next year) to find out.
I've talked enough without getting into the actual episode so let's get into those details.
Well, needless to say that this whole episode was about protecting Carver against Eva. It starts out small, with Barry and Ralph finding Carver's warehouse where he kept stuff about people that he could 'manipulate', including Sue Dearbon's parents.
That leads me to a little side-story - when Ralph contacts Sue's parents just to find out that she is already with her parents and, later on, Ralph finds out that she actually traded places with her parents and became part of the Black Hole - all in order to kill Carver.
But, rewinding a bit... Barry offers Carver protection, but he doesn't accept it, thinking that Ultraviolet, Doctor Light and Sunshine are enough to protect him. What he doesn't know is that Eva got to them and they're now working for her. Well, that only leaves one option - accept Barry's offer. And, just as they're leaving CCPD, Mirror-Singh appears to take Carver and that's when another 'side-story' (not really though) happens - when Mirror-Singh makes a proposition to Barry. Carver in exchange for Iris. This raises some questions inside Nash's mind (now full of all the other Wells') and he later on confronts Barry. I don't know if they're going somewhere with that 'suspicion' but it looked like it was the end of it.
Fast-forwarding a bit, they decide to hide in the reinforced McCulloch building just to then be attacked by the meta-human trio. There's a whole fight scene which, although I thought it was kinda cool, it was a bit too much for The Flash and, at times, the CGI wasn't the best (which is unusual for the show - I let it slide because of the virus). While Nash, Allegra, Ralph and Sue fight the trio, Barry tries to save Carver against Eva but... He fails. Eva kills Carver which, I can't blame her, and leaves Barry and Team Flash live, saying that her work is done. Although Barry promises to keep going after her.
After that, Eva reveals herself to the public, saying that she was held hostage by a crime syndicate and rescued by Carver, who was killed moments after they reunite. She gets her company back but that really isn't the end of it. Eva frames Sue for Carvers murder and so Team Flash now not only have to try and rescue Iris, Kamilla an Singh from the Mirrorverse but also clear Sue's name.
The episode ends with Team Flash agreeing on this plan, Joe returning from witness protection, Caitlin departing with her mother and, while in the Mirrorverse, Iris and Kamilla find Singh just to, right away, Iris inexplicably vanishing before Kamilla's eyes.
That last part sounds promising, although you know I don't care much for the Iris' story-line. It wasn't the best Season Finale but, considering everything (the virus and how this season was going) it wasn't the worst either. I just hope Eva doesn't stay for the whole Season 7.
Anyway... This are my thoughts on The Flash's Season 6 Finale. Let me know what you thought of the Finale and the Season overall and I'll talk to you tomorrow (if you watch The Challenge).
Love,
Daniela.
