'The Flash' Season 6: Iris West-Allen and Joe West might be the only people who can free Barry from Bloodwork's influence
Contains spoilers for 'The Flash' Season 6: 'The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1'
It hasn't been smooth sailing exactly for Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and the rest of Team Flash. The 'Crisis' is looming large and there is that Bloodwork (Dr Ramsey Rosso played by Sendhil Ramamurthy) threat that needs to be neutralized. The second problem has now put them in a spot as Barry has succumbed to Rosso's temptations and has now become the Negative Flash. Despite the Speed Force's attempts to get him to fight, Barry caves in and this spells major trouble for Central City and Team Flash.
That the Speed Force taking the form of Barry's mother, Nora Allen (Michelle Harrison), to convince him to not fall prey to Rosso's temptations failed and the onus now lies on Barry's present family. If anything, the only person who could bring him out of this is his wife, Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton), and probably Joe West (Jesse L. Martin). The two have always been special and closer to Barry than anyone else and they may just be the people it takes to pull Barry out of Bloodwork's vice-like influence.
Ever since the Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) broke the news of Barry's death in the imminent 'Crisis on Infinite Earths', Joe and Iris have always been by Barry's side constantly. While Iris is prepping him to get ready to save the universe, Joe has been one of the peopele helping the team keep their wits around. At this point, it strongly feels like Barry's only two helplines are the father and daughter duo and they just might be able to help Barry get out of Bloodwork's clutches and hopefully, put an end to the chilling foe ahead of the epic battle.
What are your thoughts on Iris and Joe helping Barry break free from Bloodwork's influence?
'The Flash' Season 6 airs Tuesdays 8 pm on The CW.
