Episode 1 (Season 7)

 “All’s Wells That Ends Wells,”

Tom cavanagh as Harrison Wells

The title of the first episode is: “All’s Wells That Ends Wells” and it’s name tells it all. – The end of Wells.

“All’s Wells That Ends Wells,” The Flash’s season opener, is a weird beast, as is to be excepted. Technically, this episode was supposed to be the 20th episode of season 6, but, you know, the pandemic happened. So, this episode is a mix of stuff that was shot before the lockdown and some new material to make it feel like an exciting start of a new season. And you can definitely feel the Frankenstein’s monster-like aspect of the hour at times, especially at the beginning of the episode. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop me from enjoying it, for the most part, especially Cavanagh and Grant Gustin’s excellent performances.

Synopsis for this episode:

When an experiment to save Barry’s speed backfires, Nash Wells searches for a way to save The Flash and comes up with a dangerous plan; Iris makes a startling realization inside the Mirrorverse.

At the beginning of the episode, Chester is reading a book and says, “What if the universe is just some cosmic neural network?” I wonder if that line is hinting at how Wells/Cavanagh will remain part of the show. See more…
