Plus, there's the added fun of Grant Gustin being able to join in on the Wells parade. Cavanagh has more of an excuse to go more broad and slapstick-y with his performance here, just so there's no question as to which Wells is in the driver's seat. But as much as characters like Sherloque tended to annoy during their original runs, there's still something charming about seeing them all bouncing around the same body. Some of these Wellses were clearly stronger and more nuanced characters than others. This episode is nothing if not a celebration of the many sides of Harrison Wells and the different ways each version has touched Barry's life. But how it's achieved, it does feel as though a grand, heroic sacrifice for Nash is the only proper direction for the character given his culpability in the events of Crisis. Yes, the plot is basically one big contrivance, as we learn Wells must sacrifice his own life in order to jumpstart Cisco's artificial Speed Force, because reasons.
In any case, "All's Well That Ends Well" hits all the right emotional notes with the character. "Success Is Assured" worked about as well as could be hoped in those circumstances, but this episode's farewell party to Tom Cavanagh's many incarnations of Harrison Wells would have been a perfect note on which to cap off a much improved year of television. If anything, it's a shame this episode wasn't completely finished and able to act as the Season 6 finale. But solely as a continuation of where things left off last spring, "All's Well That Ends Wells" doesn't really miss a beat. That raises some real concerns about the structure of the new season and how the ongoing Mirror Master conflict is being adapted to fit this new context.
#The flash season 3 episode 7 series
The series was forced to halt production in the midst of production on "All's Well That Ends Wells," forcing one of the final chapters of Season 6 to suddenly serve as the foundation for a brand new season. Not only is the Season 7 premiere happening months later than usual, this episode was never intended to be a season premiere in the first place. The Flash is certainly beginning 2021 in a weird place.
