Nash Wells Flash Moment

I have been trying to paste a link to something I am glad is FINALLY considered Incorrectly Regarded as a Goof in the season 6 finale of the Flash. As far as why Nash Wells does not get arrested at the CCPD for being (mistaken for) Harrison Wells of season 1.

Nash Wells shouldn't make an appearance at CCPD because the police who are working there could have recognized him as Harrison Wells because of what happened in Season 1 in which Eobard Thawne was supposed to turn himself in because of his crimes such as the creation of the Particle accelerator and the murder of Nora Allen. However, it's possible Barry could have explained Nash being Harrison Wells' twin like he did with Hartley, though it is unknown when he could have done this.

But there is still another problem with this goof. Dr. Wells was never prosecuted for the 'crime' of the particle accelerator because it was deemed a tragic accident, something he never could have predicted and therefore can not be criminally charged for. He was never 'supposed to turn himself in'. It was a posthumous confession, only offered after his own death. You'd have to prove he was still alive before arresting anyone.

Also the crime that Nash would be mistakenly arrested for, is Barry's mothers death and Barry is right there beside him and obviously perfectly okay with him. It would be pretty obvious to the cops who work with Barry on a daily basis that this is not the man who killed his mother, no matter what he looks like.

The Flash S6.E19 Success Is Assured

Harrison Wells is and Isn't Back

Nash Wells has H. R.'s low opinion of himself and his unconventional approach to life. But he comes off more as Harry Wells in that he has the man's his passionate attitude and dedication his abrupt manner and devil may care attitude about almost anyone and anything. This much has been established for a long time. Throughout this episode Nash gives Barry the same encouraging 'what you need to hear' pep talks and kind of course correcting encouragements that Earth-2 Harry Wells was famous for. But the one Harrison Wells he does not come across as at all is the one in a wheelchair that everyone in Central City, outside of Star Labs thinks was Doctor Harrison Wells.

As far as why the cops don't try to arrest Nash for being the guy who killed Barry's mom? The two cops who shot Harry Wells back in season 2, had already been warned Harrison Wells might be alive and walking. Without those warnings, even the physical resemblance wouldn't be enough to see Nash and go "Harrison Wells you're under arrest". Especially since the man gave a *posthumous* confession for killing Barry's mom. Also, at the station, Barry himself was standing right next to Nash. If the guy who had killed his mom was standing there, Barry would have had him against the wall choking the life out of him. As he'd tried to do once before actually. Wells cannot get prosecuted for his part in the accelerator and he is obviously not the man who killed Nora Allen. Barry himself is proof of that. H. R. Wells isn't in Nash's head because H. R. didn't survive Crisis...he was already dead. Cool thing that for the second time since Crisis, Nash does a first class Grade-A job of channeling Harry Wells to get Barry to pull his head out of his ....place that isn't on top of his neck.

The series ended episodes early because everything shut down for co-vid restrictions and the pandemic. This was never supposed to be the season finale. But it did a good job of closing everything up until things could get started again. It leaves enough "un-wrapped up" for whoever was at the helm when things started up again. To be able to continue both this story line and the greater Flash adventure. One thing they deserve props for is bringing closure and satisfaction to Nash and Allegra's relationship. It was a moment before stuff started happening. Nash and Allegra have a couple tender moments and become close once again. It's brilliant.
