Answers are on the way in The Flash season 8 finale

The Flash season 8 has been a doozy, to say the least. Over the last couple of weeks, Team Flash has dealt with the death of Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) and is now contending with Iris (Candice Patton) disappearing once again because of her time sickness.

Things are looking pretty grim in Central City, and we have no idea which way the tide is going to turn. But now, The Flash showrunner Eric Wallace is teasing a rosy resolution. “As you know very well, I believe in happy endings, so I can tell people right now: this time when they get together, they will be together for the foreseeable future, living happily ever after and all those good things,” he told TVLine.

So Iris and Barry will finally get some downtime?! That would be a nice change of pace after all this chaos!

The Flash season 8 finale will answer major questions

There are a lot of questions the final two episodes of season 8 need to answer, including about Iris’ sudden disappearance into the Still Force and that obnoxious time sickness that won’t leave her alone.

“Where did this time sickness come from and who gave it to her for what reason?” Wallace asked. “That is why, even though we’re in the middle of our interlude episodes [between Graphic Novel 2 and 3], this episode really is a prelude to the final Graphic Novel of the season, and the Season 8 finale.”

While he’s basically teased that Iris and Barry will reunite and be okay, there is another character that fans are worried about. After Frost’s death, Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) hasn’t been the same. At the end of last week’s episode, we saw that Caitlin is planning on bringing Frost back from the dead with the help of Chillblaine (Jon Cor). That sounds like a horrible idea, and I really wish someone would stop her from doing something she will most definitely regret.

“It all goes back to ‘Armageddon’ Part 5, and that wonderful scene between Danielle [Panabaker] and Tom Cavanagh,” Wallace said. “We saw that Caitlin has a much darker side, and is willing to cross lines that we thought she’d never be able to cross, when she says, ‘I wont kill you, Reverse-Flash, but I’ll let you die.’ That was a clue to the audience that this storyline was coming. She is about to go down some very dark territory, and there will be consequences.”

A dark Caitlin?! Honestly, I’m not so sure I’d mind.

The penultimate episode of The Flash season 8, “Into the Still Force”, airs on Wednesday, May 18 on the CW!
