I don’t know why those scenes are so awkward, but they are. It’s also an awkward excuse to weave the fact that the Police Captain and his fiancé are busy planning their wedding, right before said fiancé gets trapped in a burning building. That’s clearly what Barry takes it to mean, and he spends much of the next 40 minutes being awkward around her and anyone mentioning their upcoming nuptials. Or they get married, because this isn’t a perfect world. Included and worthy of note: Iris’ future name is Iris West-Allen, Barry will get an updated suit, Hawkgirl will be introduced eventually, and Gideon will obey Barry’s commands because he, in fact, created her.Īll of this is exciting aside from what the discovery of Iris’ hyphenated surname does to him for the rest of the episode, and in a perfect world I’d have it mean that Joe and Iris welcome Barry and Henry into the family by legally combining their names. As much of this makes logical sense to them as it currently does to the audience, but really their encounter with Gideon was just the show’s way of info-dumping without any lengthy monologues. So the STAR Labs team (a group I’m now excluding Wells/Thawne from) have discovered their mentor’s lair, his origins from the future and his ambition to kill Barry.
