Barry’s (Grant Gustin) journey to the future in Season 3, episode 19
of “The Flash” is unlike any time travel he has done before.
“This
is definitely his most involved trip to the future or the past because
he’s there for a predominant part of the episode and tries to get some
clues as to how [Iris’ (Candice Patton) murder at the hands of Savitar]
went down in the future so he can come back and stop it,” Gustin told
Entertainment Weekly.
“Barry
starts to get some answers pretty soon,” added Gustin. “It’s going to
be a challenge to stop this guy. It’s going to be a different kind of
challenge than we’ve ever had.”
Earlier this month, Grey Damon and Ashley Rickards were
spotted filming
the episode in a trashed alley in downtown Vancouver. Also seen in the
outdoor set were Gustin and Tom Cavanagh, who was directing the episode.
According to
YVRShoots,
the scene being filmed at the time involves Mirror Master (Damon),
a.k.a. Sam Scudder, and his girlfriend Top (Ashley Rickards), a.k.a.
Rosa Dillon, giving The Flash a good kicking as he lies helplessly on
the ground.
Since Gustin revealed that Barry will be in the future for the most
part of the episode, it’s possible that Barry’s run-in with the rogues
takes place in the future.
Sam and Rosa first appeared in
Season 3, episode 4,
in which they used their new metahuman abilities for the first time to
wreak havoc in Central City. With the use of a hologram of Snart
(Wentworth Miller), Team Flash defeated the pair at the end of the
episode, and Rosa was returned to her cell in Iron Heights, while Sam
was locked away in a separate chamber with no reflective surfaces to
prevent him from using his power to escape.
