The identity of Savitar is revealed, and it's a doozy! Meanwhile, Cisco deals with his feelings about confronting Killer Frost and HR starts falling for a physicist...
So a future Barry is Savitar. And this Barry is very, very different from the other future Barry we saw last week, so I can only assume he is from a different timeline or a different earth. This whole thing leads to a very interesting conundrum: How does the future Barry from last week trap Savitar in the Speed Force and why is Savitar trying to kill Iris? If Savitar is future Barry and knows what Barry will do, then how can he be trapped by future Barry? And how did he come to be the way he is? My suspicion, at this point, is that some future event (or event in an alternate timeline) caused that Barry to lose Iris, which led him to become Savitar and to try to kill other Iris' to prevent other Barry's from being happy or something like that. Or, it could be that he needs to kill Iris in order for Barry to turn into him so that Savitar can continue to exist. The only problem with the last is that it assumes that Savitar changes each time. If Savitar is trapped in the Speed Force each time through the timeline, it is possible that this Savitar is the original and that he has been trapped in the Speed Force over and over again, which would explain his madness. I guess we'll have to wait until next week to find out for sure what happened.
I can't say that I blame Cisco for being unwilling to fight Killer Frost. After all, she does take his hand in the future and he doesn't have full control of his abilities. I didn't think his control was that bad because he has not seemed to have had a ton of trouble controlling his abilities, but maybe he has been having more trouble than he has been letting on. My thought about his reluctance was that he just didn't want to hurt her at all because she is his friend.
You have to wonder how everyone else is going to react to the news that Barry is Savitar. The one thing we know for sure is that it is going to be confusing for everyone. I just hope that we get some explanation about why Barry became Savitar relatively quickly because we only have a few episodes left.
I find it hard to blame Tracy for wanting to run away from everything, after all, it's not every day you find out that a speedster from the future wants to kill you to prevent you from trapping him in a force you only speculatively knew about. Yeah, this will mess with your mind for sure. Here's hoping they can figure everything out.
Until next week!
