Speaking to IGN, showrunners Aaron and Todd Helbing got candid about the events about episode 13 and what’s about to happen in episode 14.
The executive producers promised that episode 14 will give Earth-2’s Barry an opportunity to explore his character and show how different he is from the Earth-1 Barry. Todd said that Jesse Wells characterized Barry from Earth-2 as someone selfish.
On Reverb’s death, Aaron and Todd said that this was how they really planned to use Cisco’s evil character. This was to give Cisco the idea the magnitude of the powers he’s capable of.
Aaron adds that the fate of Reverb will definitely affect Cisco once they get back to Earth-1 and fans will see how this will shape his character later in the season.
As for Killer Frost, both showrunners shut down the idea that Caitlin will become her blonde villain version.
Both executive producers also discussed the season’s Big Bad, Zoom. Fans will be happy to know that as the season progresses, Zoom’s identity will begin to be revealed in the next couple of episodes.
They also teased that Barry’s companion in the cell where he was locked up will play an essential role in Team Flash’ attempt to save him.
