In each and every season of “The Flash” so far, the big bad has always been two steps or more ahead of Team Flash, and it seems that The Thinker has a grand plan for the team in season 4.
Barry Allen is trying to get ahead of DeVoe now that he sees his plan coming together, and during a recent interview Grant Gustin noted that Barry will become obsessed.
“Barry’s starting to get obsessed that this is our guy, he realizes that it’s going to get dirty quick, and before it gets dirty he wants to get ahead of this guy. And then they start to realize what a challenging foe he’s going to be and different than any other speedsters we’ve faced in the past. He’s not a speedster, he’s something we’ve never seen before. Things are going to take a dark turn quickly in the middle of the year.”
After finally confronting DeVoe at the end of this week’s episode, it looks like Barry’s obsession will kick into high gear next week judging from the preview.
“Therefore I Am” will air on Tuesday, November 21.
“Barry (Grant Gustin) comes face to face with DeVoe (guest star Neil Sandilands). Devoe’s past is revealed through flashbacks. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) puts the final touches on the wedding, which is a week away. David McWhirter directed the episode written by Eric Wallace & Thomas Pound.”
