It was probably, no, make that definitely too much to hope that our heroes had seen the last of Savitar.
No one has been hunting for Savitar, the big bad of season 3 of The Flash, because Barry Allen and his friends chucked him into the Speed Force and crossed their fingers that would be the end of him. Only the man (we assume) who dubbed himself the god of speed isn’t dealt with quite so easily.
Barry knows this too since he’s seen Savitar kill someone close to him in the future. It’s not a matter of if Savitar will return, but when and how.
We could get some answers on those fronts this week. Not only is the episode title “The Wrath of Savitar” a dead giveaway, but the promos feature Wally West having strange visions of the villain. Is Savitar calling to him from the Speed Force? And will the speed that makes him Kid Flash come with a terrible price?
(Hopefully not, but it’s awfully convenient Wally has his love interest living with him now on Earth-1, and the odds of Jesse Quick becoming this year’s heroic self-sacrifice now seem much, much higher. Just saying.)
Locating Savitar may just become priority number one for Team Flash, especially since next week’s episode is teasing a trip into the mysterious dimension. Before we get ahead of ourselves, here’s the info you need to watch “The Wrath of Savitar” as it goes down:
