6. Introduce Wally West
Thankfully we haven't had to put up with Francine West for a little while now, because man was she annoying, but there is still one big, dangling plot thread in dire need of being plucked. Namely, that she has another child. More specifically, that child is going to be Wally West, and that name will sound very familiar to fans of the comics, because he's yet another speedster. The nephew of Iris West, he becomes Kid Flash, and later on takes the Flash mantle himself. Obviously they're doing something slightly different here, with him being Iris' brother instead, but you'd still assume he will be a speedster at some point, and what's more he's from Earth One, not Earth Two. The secret is hanging between Iris and Joe, and like with Barry and Patty, it needs to be resolved. The way that's going to happen is for Wally to arrive, so where is he?
