The hour opens with a tribute to the lost Wellses, at which Cisco is mysteriously now present. This only makes the end of last week’s episode feel like more of a missed opportunity, as there doesn’t appear to be any good reason Cisco wasn’t present at Nash’s death.but as we’ll soon learn, the Wells mourning is a bit premature anyway. In any event, Cisco has been working on a portal to the Mirrorverse, but has run into technical problems. In the ensuing spew of techno-babble, it becomes clear that Barry’s thoughts are now traveling at super-speed. He’s figured out the problem, which is that they need to know the location of the three people trapped in the Mirrorverse in order to pull them out.

Just as “Success Is Assured” didn’t play much like a season finale, “All’s Well That Ends Well” doesn’t resemble a traditional season premiere, and for similar reasons. “Success” was the last episode completed before COVID-19 hit a year ago and shut down all production, but the season still had three episodes to go. At least some portion of “All’s Well That Ends Wells” was shot before the shutdown, although it’s hard to say how much of the story was retooled over the extended break, if at all. Ten long months after the previous chapter, “All’s Well” drops us right back into the action without much ado.
