If you have been frustrated by the slow burn of Harrison Wells outing himself as a villain, you won’t have to wait much longer.
That’s according to the show’s boss, who recently offered details about what is coming up on The Flash.
On when Harrison Wells will out himself as the villain….
“…His endgame will happen this season. Wells has a definitive plan. When you look back, you’ll see he’s had a definitive reason for doing all the things that he’s done throughout the course of the season. We think it makes sense. Hopefully, you all will, too. As secrets start to come out, how do you reconcile the Harrison Wells that we see in this episode, who’s a friend and selfless and kind, with this monster? The only debate we had amongst ourselves was how long will the audience accept knowing he’s the villain and having the rest of our characters not know, which is something we’ve been dealing with for the back half of the season. Are people going to feel like they’re dumb for not realizing this? Part of what’s keeping these next stream of episodes going is how good at hiding his villainy Wells is, and how strong Tom [Cavanagh]’s performance is.”
On Joe and Eddie’s covert mission of digging into Wells’ past…
“In an upcoming episode, Joe and Cisco – without letting Cisco know what he’s really thinking – launch a pretty spectacular investigation into what happened the night Barry’s mother died, which plays out in a really cool way.”
On Barry’s new love interest, Linda Park…
“She’s a spark plug. She’s a firecracker. She’s a lot of fun. She’s ballsy and she speaks her mind and she’s cool. Barry can’t believe that somebody like her is interested in him.” Her presence will also “cause all the other women in his life to maybe see a little green.”
