Good guess I heard about how Flash will turn out next week:
It wasn't Iris who died, it was HR using the magic disguise gizmo. Big clue was that "Iris" had her ring which we saw her give to Joe earlier. And nicely clears the board for next year's new Tom Cavanagh character.
I'm also gonna guess that Malfoy sacrifices himself to save Cisco so we can keep the tradition of Caitlin's annual dead love interest.
But how would the switch have happened? Unless Iris was using one to look like HR and it was really her who told Savitar about the Earth 2 plan (which is totally out of character because there's no way she'd go along with sacrificing someone over herself), then how would HR have replaced her after Savitar grabbed her? Am I forgetting something from the episode where that would've been feasible?
That is the question. I'm assuming it happened during the Speed Force bazooka shenanigans. "No one was looking!" Kinda weak but that's all I've got. I'd say Wally helped but his leg was broken.
But that has to be what happened. 1. They reminded us about the disguise thing, and how good it is (fools a retina scan!), during the ARGUS break-in. So we shouldn't be surprised that Savitar was fooled. 2. HR wasn't in the sniper position like in the previous future, Joe was. Why did they show us HR before if that change wasn't important? 3. "Iris" had the ring which she specifically gave to Joe earlier. How would she have it, unless it was part of the disguise projection? 4. HR focuses on the broken Savitar spear at the end of the scene where he feels guilty. He's making a plan and showing us what it will be. ---
