In the recent episode there was a female officer in the background a couple of times, handing stuff to Singh, etc. I’d guess it’s her.
I think “team Flash” if you include Joe West, definitely is noticing something is up with Iris.
I thought they were going to go into how Thawne ended up in Nash’s psyche even though he wasn’t really a Wells, all he did was change his shape into that of Harrison Wells. Alas, it looks like that was just a lampshade by Cisco, and they let it drop. Maybe it’s just acknowledging that they would never figure that part out and so they let it go.
The Multiverse is combining a huge piles of Wellses into one; it got to the Wellsobard and said “Eh, I’ll just roll with it”
Young Flash actor dies suddenly. Logan Williams played young Barry Allen in the first couple season of the show. He was just 16.
BLACK HOLE THREATENS JOE’S LIFE - *After Black Hole hires Rag Doll (guest star Troy James) to kill Joe, Singh suggests he go into Witness Protection but Joe refuses to stop investigating Carver (guest star Eric Nenninger). While investigating Carver with Cisco, Ralph runs into Sue (guest star Natalie Dreyfuss). Iris becomes suspicious of Eva (guest star Efrat Dor). *

Argh. Message to Joe. Confronting the villain in his home - not smart. Secretly recording his confession - okay, not too bad a plan. Telling him you have a recording, while you’re still in his house, without backup? Really, really bad idea. Either stream the recording to offsite, or just pretend to take the deal, and walk away with the evidence until you have backup.
P.S. Sending someone into WitSec, while leaving his wife and baby behind makes no sense, right?
The WitProt thing was a head scratcher for sure. And they had just finished demonstrating that Joe was vulnerable if they threatened Cecille. Newsflash: Cecille can still be threatened if you’re in witness protection, Joe. Of course, this is the show that allowed District Attorney Cecille Horton to represent accused murderer Barry Allen in his defense.
So Commissioner Singh has also been ensnared by Mirror Master. How many people does she have in there anyway? And why can’t she just suck in her husband in the first place?
Well, he says, “I’m untouchable. Literally.” before smashing the mirror. I think the implication is that he also has some sort of abilities, either meta or tech-based, related to light and mirrors that make him immune to her abilities, probably related to…whatever happened that left her trapped in a mirror.
And I’ve got to say, Ralph and Sue are now my favorite Arrowverse couple. The actors have some real on-screen chemistry.
HUGE CHANGES AHEAD FOR BARRY AND IRIS - After recent events, Barry takes a closer look at his life with Iris. Eva (guest star Efrat Dor) makes a bold move.

I wonder if all “mirror” entities will eventually develop wills of their own (Fake-Iris was the oldest of them and so had had the most time to become an independent person).
Bloodwork shows signs of becoming more interesting.
The mirror-knife fight - that was cool!
Fantastic episode! It really builds on everything we’ve seen this season, including the unexpected return of Bloodwork. I like this format of dividing the season into two parts with different main villains for each part. It keeps things fresh and the Big Bad doesn’t overstay their welcome.
I’ll add that the music was on-point, too. The return of the menacing Bloodwork theme when he showed up again, and especially the tease of the Barry/Iris love theme without ever resolving it to completion.
GODSPEED AND PIED PIPER RETURN - When Godspeed returns, Barry turns to Hartley Rathaway (guest star Andy Mientus) for help. However, things get tense quickly after Barry realizes one of the changes from Crisis is that The Flash and Pied Piper are now enemies. Meanwhile, Iris tries to escape the Mirrorverse.

Since I’ve fallen behind, here’s my commentary:
I was beginning to think that they had forgotten about Godspeed. I wish they had shown him pop up occasionally throughout the season, rather than just showing him once at the start and then not hearing a peep from him until now. However, with four prior Godspeeds having been captured previously, it makes sense that he’d lay low until the Flash had lost most of his speed. This was the only time he could plausibly defeat the Flash, plus he’s probably starving for Speedforce himself, hence his killing and extracting the Speedforce from his previous incarnations.
Iris has finally found Kamilla in the mirrorverse. It’s only a matter of time before they find Singh and figure out a way to get back to the real world. The season’s really been coming together nicely, but sadly the next episode is going to be the season finale, due to production having been suspended due to Covid-19. There’s better be one hell of a cliffhanger!
Decent ep. Glad that Flash cleaned up a loose end from his earlier battle with the Pied Piper, who’s gay because of course he is, have you seen his outfit. Seriously. another villain now knows Barry’s identity. Think he’ll go, er, straight? Maybe this character will fill the role that, in the comics, was taken by Mister Element/Dr Alchemy, that of Barry’s personal rehabilitation project.
Did I hear Wells make a “Holy Grail” reference - something about bickering about who killed who?
I wish we had a better idea of the size of the Mirrorverse - it’s jarring that Iris took so long to find Kamilla, since as far as the set design goes it appears that she was just a few rooms away.
I’d say the mirrorverse is exactly the same size as our universe, only reversed. I’d cut Iris a break since (a) she only recently learned that her arrival in the mirrorverse wasn’t accidental but a result of Eva pulling her in and (b) even more recently became aware that Kamilla and Singh in in there with her.
You’re probably right about the size of the mirrorverse - but it’s not portrayed that way which is a slight annoyance (even a view through a window showing a “mirror cityscape” would give some notion of the size of the place); it just seems like an office building.
That’s because Iris and Eva were spending all of their time in a single office building, (Mirror) McCullough Technologies. Eva had her (Mirror) lab and (Mirror) equipment there, and had set up her living quarters there as well. When Iris first arrived in (Mirror) World, Eva pretty quickly convinced her that she had already explored it and tat there was no-one else there, and nothing useful anywhere else - everything was mirror-reversed, all text and computer displays were unreadable, etc. Prior to Eva escaping and the revelation that Kamilla and Singh were also in (Mirror) World, neither Iris nor Eva had any reason to go anywhere else.
Also, it was probably cheaper to film all of the (Mirror) World scenes with Eva and Iris on a couple of sets.
Yeah there is that.
So Kamilla has been around for a week or so and hasn’t explored enough to even find that Iris and Eva are in the building with her.
