Way back in fall 2019,The Flashkicked offits sixth seasonwith Barry chasing Godspeed around Central City.

According to Cisco, that was the fourth one theyd encountered.

And that was that.

Godspeed and this mystery werent mentioned again for the 16 episodes that followed.

(To be fair, the show had morepressing matters on its mind.)

Thankfully, that all changed with tonights installment Pay the Piper, which featured the return of Godspeed.

Unfortunately, Pay the Piper" didnt give us any concrete answers, which is rather frustrating.

How is he supposed to tell them everythings going to be alright when he doesnt believe himself?

It doesnt help that Cisco flips out on him, too.

Furthermore, Barry being so thrown by losing Iris reinforces his status as the Paragon of Love.

And thats when Godspeed zooms in out of nowhere and tries to steal Barrys speed.

Since this Godspeed was capable of talking, the team assumes its the real one.

Furthermore, they realize that Godspeed was using vibrations/sound/something to pin Barry down and take his speed.

Unfortunately, this means they have to turn to the one sound expert they know: Hartley Rathaway.

And I say unfortunately because Hartley, a.k.a Pied Piper, hates Team Flash.

Since that tragic night, Roderick has been at Mercury Labs because his molecules were destabilized.

Unsurprisingly, their first attempt fails.

Dont ask me for anything.

My world is over, says Hartley.

Thanks, Oprah, Hartley replies, which is the best response ever.

In the end, though, it works.

(That being said, who knows if they even planned on solving this mystery this season anyway.)

WillThe Flashactually show us Atlantis?

I hope so, but I doubt it.

But wouldnt it be cool if it did?!
