Barry has a fukking gang of superhero friends who he's called multiple times to help him. Why the fukk didn't he just call for help?
It's like he did everything he could to make sure this plays out exactly how it was originally supposed to. He even made sure he stood at the right distance so he would make it there a split second too late.
But the writers won't let her stay dead because then flash should turn into the emo I don't give a fukk version and the show is ruined. Somehow she's gonna be back.
