Eh. It just seemed like a question to me. And something a person would ask in a worried state.Comment

This is one of the rare times where I actually agree with Dagenspear. in that one scene her comment was perfectly understandable even if it made her seem a little bit annoying.
After all, her loved ones were missing and it's all too easy for people to become a little irrational to the point where they might angrily blow up in the face of somebody who were trying to help. Take real life for instance... I have a relative on the extended branch of my family tree who happens to be a detective who specializes in missing cases. He's often told me how hard it is to specialize in missing cases... and how common it is that the relatives of a missing child or person often turn to him as a scrape-goat for their pain. The parents of missing children often point their fingers at him and complain how useless he seems to be, if he hadn't found their child yet and it's taking too long for their tastes. They just want their child back NOW, but real life doesn't work like that. so they tend to vent their frustrations via negative comments, and in other ways.
Now, Iris isn't a parent but her father and fiancé is missing... so there's a lot of similar pain there. Moreso when there's an literal superhero right there... and aren't superheroes always supposed to save the day in the nick of time? Iris probably kind of idolized the flash in her own way... so it's probably a huge shock to not only find out that the flash is Barry, but that the Flash is flawed and human after all.Comment

I loved what they did with Iris in this episode... this was the Iris I wanted to see all season, and we finally got her. She reacted to things in an realistic manner. She wasn't too mary-sueish in how she suddenly just knew things like Lana Lang did (as somebody else pointed out). Instead, she had a good reason for knowing about certain things, thanks to her job.
And most of all, I loved how she was bringing up the exact problems Fans had with the "secrets and lies" plotline, and effectively shut down both Joe's and Barry's excuses about why they didn't tell her. She didn't act hysterical about the whole thing... instead she was appropriately calm but upset that they didn't tell her.Comment
