As The Flash fans already know, Clifford DeVoe had a restraining order in place against Allen, which we now know was a slow build to his murder frame-up.
There’s also the subtle callback in Devoe’s murder, as this isn’t the first time Barry has been found shortly after someone has been stabbed in the chest.
Bottom line, getting Barry out of jail doesn’t seem like it’s going to be that easy, so fans should expect The Flash to spend a lot of time in the courtroom as Barry wrestles with whether or not he should reveal his identity to clear his name.
It could be coincidental, but it almost feels intentional that DeVoe staged his death in a somewhat similar fashion to the death of Nora Allen, which might look bad to a court of jurors who recognize the similarities.
