That makes sense now! Thank you, it was just one of those annoying details I couldn’t wrap my head around!
It was a fantastic scene, I love the build up of tension and similar to when Barry kills Janice, you can see the moment he gives them an “out”. Barry is genuinely remorseful at least for a moment about what he has to do.
Bill Hader is just fantastic, he is so darn versatile! Can’t wait for season 3!!
