An early season finale means that "Success is Assured" ...for the villain! Without the Speed Force, the team is not sure what to do to get Iris out of the Mirror World. Then Ralph remember the diamond he got from Sue, which leads them to a warehouse that could give them what they need to stop Carver once and for all. But Eva's mirror Singh burns it down before they get what they need. Now they know they'll have to protect Carver before Eva gets her vengeance. Now that the warehouse is burned down, Sue infiltrates Carver's organization to take him out. Ralph tries to convince her it's not worth it, but they may be too late anyway when Sunshine, Ultraviolet, and Dr. Light show up to help Eva. The team fights valiantly to save the arrogant man, but Eva is powerful. Can they stop her and save Iris too? Looks like we'll have to wait all year long to find out. Jay and Josh go multi-screen on the season six finale of Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast!

Scarlet Velocity #619: Success is Assured

Sometimes you have to "Pay the Piper." Barry desperately tries to figure out a way to save Iris from her mirror prison. But then Godspeed shows up to steal Barry's speed. They'll have to ask their old foe Hartley Rathaway to help them. But their rivalry went down a little differently on this post-Crisis Earth. Pied Piper holds a serious grudge because Flash caused one of his partners in crime to be stuck in a state of perpetual vibration. The team promises to help if Hartley lends a hand. Ralph uses his Life Coach skills to convince Frost to go ask her mother for help. And Iris finds Kamilla, who is also trapped behind the mirror. But Iris begins to lose her wits after being trapped so long. Jay and Josh agree that they're the only ones allowed to wear each other's Chewbacca shirt on this week's episode of Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast!

Scarlet Velocity #618: Pay The Piper

The "Liberation" of Eva McCulloch is finally happening! Barry is a bit disheartened by Cisco's failure to generate a new speed force. But he's even more disheartened by the fact he was kicked out of his home. All of that pales in comparison to his disheartedness he feels when he tries to convince everyone that the Iris they all see is not the true Iris. At first nobody believes him, and with a little mirror trickery, Eva manages to make people think that he is the doppelganger, and they lock up Barry instead! Meanwhile the Mirror Mistress is arranging for her minions to get some life blood from Bloodwork so she can finally be free. But before she escapes, Barry and Mirror Iris go head-to-head in a surprisingly one sided fight. Jay and Josh try their best to avoid pointy things on this week's episode of Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast!

Scarlet Velocity #617: Liberation

It could be "So Long and Goodnight" for Joe West as he gets closer to proving Joseph Carver has connections to Black Hole. Carver has hired Rag Doll to take out the Captain. Joe is confident that he'll be alright, even without Barry being able to help much as his speed continues to diminish. But everyone else thinks Joe should go into protective custody. When Rag Doll manages to strap Cecile to a bomb, Joe may have to rethink his strategy. Cisco helps Ralph track down Sue Dearbon, but she proves she's just as good at slipping through their fingers. When Ralph discovers the truth behind her motivations, she accepts his help. Iris thinks she is finally getting a little clarity in Mirror World, but she's also getting a little suspicious of Eva, who is bound and determined to get vengeance on her husband. And taking down Team Flash seems like the best way to do it. Jay and Josh look everywhere for waffles on this week's episode of Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast!

Scarlet Velocity #615: So Long and Goodnight

The power of Flash compels you to witness "The Exorcism of Nash Wells". Nash continues to be controlled by Eobard Thawne, Flash's speed continues to dwindle, and a new mirrored Kamilla helps Eva McCulloch to get her prismatic refractor before Sunshine gets it. The team has a lot to worry about. Cisco thinks he can exorcise Thawne from Wells but ultimately it's going to have to be Nash that faces his inner demons to get rid of the vindictive speedster. The new meta threat named Sunshine and working with Black Hole, is after a tool that Eva made. Joe tries to put it in ARGUS's hands before the CCPD mole gets to it. Without his speed, how will Barry stop it from falling in the wrong hands? Jay and Josh are in desperate need of an old priest and a young priest on this week's episode of Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast!

Scarlet Velocity #615: The Exorcism of Nash Wells

The "Death of the Speed Force" is likely to cause a lot of problems for any speedster. Wally West returns as a Zen speed master and has some great lessons for Barry. But he's not the only old friend to return. Cisco finds his way back to Central City as he tracks Turtle 2.0, a meta that can slow down time enough to kill people. That should be an easy capture if Flash and Kid Flash are working together. But that's when Wally notices Barry's waning speed ability. They discover that the Speed Force is dying. Their time with speed is limited so they better use it wisely. That's about the time that Eobard Thawne returns in Nash Wells' body. Hope no other problems pop up...has anybody seen Kamilla? Jay and Josh study Zen and the art of helicopter maintenance on this week's episode of Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast!

Scarlet Velocity #614: Death of the Speed Force

Barry has to ask himself why "Grodd Friended Me". Barry's been struggling to adapt to a post-Crisis world. It becomes frustrating when old friends have become enemies, your team is off doing their own thing, and you have to rely on Gideon to help you feel better. But when Chester P. Runk tries to help, Barry's consciousness gets transferred into his old gorilla nemesis, Grodd. The feisty ape has been trying to escape his mental prison and convince the Flash that he has changed. Barry doesn't buy it. With a little help from the backup team at STAR Labs, he discovers that the only way he's going to escape is by teaming up with Grodd. Nash does a very poor job of revealing his personal truths to Allegra. And Iris is still trapped in the Mirror Dimension with a very nervous Eva McCulloch. But this mysterious woman is hiding more than Iris could imagine. Jay and Josh may merge into a very bizarre hybrid on this week's episode of Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast!

Scarlet Velocity #613: Grodd Friended Me

Ralph finally finds "A Girl Named Sue". Dearbon, that is. But she seems to be in deep trouble and on the run from a dangerous guy. Ralph, being the noble hero he is, sticks with her to protect and bring the dastardly gangster named Loring to justice. They infiltrate his hideout to get a ledger and in the process comes to trust this woman he's spent almost a year looking for. He even reveals his elongated secret. By bending a few rules they get into Loring's vault, but Sue has a surprise for her new friend.

Scarlet Velocity #612: A Girl Named Sue

"Love is a Battlefield" in Central City on Valentines Day. While Barry and Iris try to enjoy a romantic evening together, they stumble into a villain war between Amunet Black and Goldface. Both try to acquire a rare flower that will enable mindreading. It turns out that the two used to be romantically involved with each other. Barry, fearing that she will reveal his secret identity to the world if he stops her, is forced to covertly track the two scorned lovers with Iris. But Iris seems to be using some questionably safe tactics to get close to them. Meanwhile, Allegra mopes over a lost love that she's recently run into. Frost, looking to prove her worth, tries to hook them back up. It doesn't go very well until Nash gives her some good advice. If the team makes it through this romantic holiday, they may run into some very familiar faces. Jay and Josh hit this bizarre tale with their best shot on this week's episode of Scarlet Velocity: A Flash Podcast!

Scarlet Velocity #611: Love Is A Battlefield

Is life a "Marathon" or a sprint? Barry sure is ready to race out of the starting blocks of a post-Crisis Earth. He chases after a whole slew of new villains facing Central City and he is determined to honor the legacy of Oliver Queen. And he is especially anxious to decipher a hidden message on the Green Arrow mask that John Diggle brings him as a tribute to his late friend. But Barry may be reading a little too much into all of it. Cisco is pretty upset about the loss of trillions of lives, including all his friends on all the other Earths. He takes it out on Nash, who seems to be sticking around for a while. And Iris tracks down a deadly organization known as Black Hole, but may have bitten off more than she can chew.
