Honestly, the only real thing that bothered me about the entire episode was Iris. The realization of her being in love with Barry doesn't work for me due to how she seems to be trying to sabotage Barry's current relationship. Like they just happen to be at the bowling alley, and when she wiped his face, I felt bad for both Linda and Eddie since it was a move you see a jealous person do in order to force a breakup. I can't really fault Barry for that because he's unaware, but it comes off as spiteful. I can fault Barry for when he kisses Iris after she tells him her feelings. Yeah, he's the only one who will remember that she confessed to him, but now will he try to break it off with Linda and then sabotage Iris' relationship? Barry doesn't seem like the guy to do that, but then again, I didn't think he would have kissed Iris while in a relationship, even if it was an "in the moment" kind of thing.
The date happened. Barry time travelled to after the date but before he arrived at the morgue and spilled his drink on Singh. So Eddie is jealous and unless Barry does anything about it, Linda will push Iris at work and make her realise how she feels.
However, when Barry went to Caitlin and Cisco, they told him to trust Wells, and that they were sure he wasn't doing anything wrong, so Barry might not feel the need to question them again, so all three will be oblivious to Wells being evil.
Essentially, love triangle advanced, villain reveal stalled.
I just can't buy her sudden love for Barry. She viewed him like a brother all these years. She wonders why he doesn't have a girlfriend, and even tries to fix him up with Felicity. Then he confesses his feelings, and suddenly she loves him too?
I don't really mind the time frame in her realization. I just don't like the fact that she knows how Barry feels, sees that he's trying to move on, and is now actively trying to sabotage his relationship.I just can't buy her sudden love for Barry.

Totally! There was no way they were going to let Cisco stay dead ! I wonder if Barry will interrupt him before he kills Cisco, or before Cisco makes the discovery (although based on some trailers I've seen, I'm guessing the former, not the latter). Only seen spoilers for this week's episode (we don't get the Flash down here until thursdays, our time), really excited about ti.
A crafty ploy by the writers, man this show is awesome.
If my "crafty" you mean "cheap," then yes, "crafty" indeed.
The feelings are still coming out of nowhere. Even if it has been 4 Episodes since the confession. Nothing changed. He confessed, they don't interact as often anymore, and now she has those feelings for him too. Feelings she didn't have, when she tried to fix him up with Felicity.
I wonder why he's actually in the same place as he was before. Shouldn't his younger self be standing right next to him? Or did he basically take his younger self's place, by traveling back in time?
I've figured it all out.
Harrison Wells (Thawne) is from the future and came to the past. This means, Harrison Wells was not born yet in the past and that is why his power is fading and needs Barry Allen's help to get back to his own time (Some episodes shows harrison wells struggling with his power). Meanwhile, Eddie Thawne (Detective) is the father of Harrison Wells and will be the one that becomes the first Zoom in the future. Then the Detective (Zoom) fights the Flash and ends up dead while his legacy gets passed down to his son (harrison wells) and to avenge his father, he attempts to kill barry allen but loses so his only option is to time travel to the past and kill the child barry allen but fails.
So in this case, barry allen will be fighting harrison wells during the on-going season then harrison wells will lose, only to have enough time to tell eddie thawne the truth and convince him to become zoom, which will head to the future where flash fights zoom again but this time zoom as eddie thawne, who will have a child named eobard thawne, and have his power pass down to his eobard thawne who will travel back in time and start all over. It's a time loop.
Or am I thinking too much?
Didn't Wells say that he was centuries out of time? So Eddie would just be a distant relative and not his father.

She's known Barry for her entire life and there is no one she's closer to. It's clear that they've been through a lot together and have seen each other at their most vulnerable points, possibly fighting off or storing away any feelings of attraction. The feelings Iris has had in the past and presently are probably more complicated than, "I didn't like him, but now I like him."
This isn't the same dynamic of Peter Parker and MJ in the Spidey movies, with Barry pining away for his perfect dream girl who he's shocked even knows his name yet suddenly realizes she loves him in the end. This is two life-long best friends who are just now coming to terms with their feelings for one another and struggling to navigate the right path, without destroying their relationship -- or their relationships with the other people in their lives.
This kind of thing literally happens all the ****ing time, yet everyone is acting like this is the most unbelievable romantic scenario ever. It's weird.
