Critics Consensus

Barry Allen pulls some narrative convenience out of a hat during an otherwise nifty Flash installment that features some memorable action beats and a shocking cliffhanger.

This was a fairly weird episode that felt like it was at odds with itself.

The anticipated unmasking never materializes, and the big cliffhanger turns out to be the apparent death of a beloved character, followed by her immediate resurrection as a supervillain.

I feel cheated. This was supposed to be a big reveal of who Savitar is. It was actually an episode for Killer Frost to emerge. If that had been the main focus of the episode, it would have been more satisfying.
