The Flash season 7, episode 14 was missing Barry Allen and Iris West-Allen almost for the entire episode. Wrapping up its New Forces storyline means there's more room to explore other storylines in the final episodes of The Flash season 7, given there's only a few episodes left before the season wraps up. Due to the pandemic, The Flash season 7 only had 18 episodes filmed, meaning this will be the shortest one for the Arrowverse drama yet.
Despite Grant Gustin and Candice Patton being The Flash's two leads, this sort of absence is something that has been intentional, as revealed by showrunner Eric Wallace. In a recent interview with Insider, Wallace spoke about the benefits of having such a big cast that allows various episodes per season to focus more on the supporting members. With the showrunner's comments about how exhausting a production schedule like The Flash can be, "Rayo de Luz" allowed Gustin and Patton to take a break. While the story had them go on a vacation, it allowed someone like Allegra, who joined the team in The Flash season 6, to have her story further explored.
A consistent reappearance because Allegra was brought right into the program is her connection as well as competition with her relative Ultraviolet It’s never ever been one of the most fascinating story to ever before show up on the program, yet it’s constantly been regularly appealing as well as never ever always negative. This basically remains the exact same within this episode which’s not actually a poor point either. Allegra has actually typically seemed like she’s taken a rear seat as well as she has actually been a little an afterthought this period, so any type of factor to bring her to the leading edge as well as permit her personality to expand rates.
Ultraviolet is additionally a lot more fascinating than she has actually ever before been in the past too. We find out about the injury that offered her powers which she apparently has actually relocated past merely being an assassin for hire. Certain, she’s out for vengeance, yet it’s additionally apparently for selfless factors, which is to quit the medical professional that triggered her injury prior to he can do so to any individual else.
It’s a fairly cliché backstory for her, yet it’s way much better than what she’s been in the past– which was simply a wicked variation of Allegra. It’s additionally good to see them engaging in such a way that isn’t simply at each various other’s throats, also if simply for a number of secs– which actually appeared to be the pattern in the episode. It behaved, if also for simply a minute.

At the end of the day however, Allegra as well as Ultraviolet merely desire 2 various points. Allegra desires justice as well as Ultraviolet desires vengeance. Occasionally these 2 are one in the exact same, yet hardly ever is that in fact real, which is significantly the situation below. It’s constantly challenging to see a hero (in this situation, Allegra) protecting an awful individual, yet it’s constantly vital for superhero tales to reveal the greater perfect of justice instead of the reduced base impulse of vengeance, also in a tale that is reasonably by-the-numbers.
Ever since the Mirrorverse storyline ended, the season has consistently meandered its way from one story to another. There’s really only been one connective tissue throughout the season and that’s Detective Kramer. Yet, it continually feels disconnected from the rest of the show. However, that arc’s exploration in “Rayo de Luz” has been the best that the narrative has been yet in The Flash season 7 thanks to one thing: Joe West.
Seeing Joe actually get to do something for the first time in seemingly forever is great. The only problem is that it’s for a storyline that has really yet to be interesting as a story at all. The only reason it’s interesting at all in this episode is because it’s interesting seeing Joe struggle with what is the right thing to do (and whether or not he should do it). The story itself is bland, but the character uncovering it isn’t.

Despite still meandering, The Flash delivered one of its more enjoyable episodes of the season, even if it didn’t do anything all-that new.
