The Flash went through all this effort for Wally to become Kid Flash, and they aren’t going to kill him off in the same season. Wally West is probably just as safe as Iris. It just might be someone else in Savitar’s clutches who gets violently stabbed. So while Iris might be safe, we could still see Barry’s vision of the future play out. Still, Savitar did predict that someone on Team Flash would die and The Flash is in the habit of killing off at least one major character each season. In addition The Flash writers probably would (and should) be gun-shy about killing such a major and fan-favorite female character after the backlash Arrow received for killing off Laurel Lance in season 4. It would be a much darker and probably not nearly as good series. The Flash would fundamentally change without Iris on the show influencing Barry. Without Iris Barry is a much sadder (and let’s face it, far stupider) character. Iris is Barry’s lightning rod - she keeps him grounded, focused and happy. Iris isn’t just Barry’s love interest or the female lead of the show. While a cynical viewer could suggest that this means The Flash is amping up Iris’ importance to really emotionally cut the audience with her death, the statement is true. Over and over The Flash has told us in season 3 that there is no Flash without Iris West. The Flash is too solid a show and too positive to do something as dark and shocking as kill off Iris. The Flash made some big mistakes at the end of season 2 and the beginning of season 3, but the show is not insane enough to kill off its female lead. The Flash Winter Finale Recap: Does Barry Discover the Identity of Dr. There is no way that the show is going to kill Iris, but someone else important might die. Still, Flash fans shouldn’t worry too much. This vision, combined with Savitar’s words earlier in the episode that someone on Team Flash would die in the future, suggests that Iris West might die before she ever gets the chance to become Iris West-Allen. Barry time traveled, this time accidentally, to the future and saw Savitar kill the love of his life, Iris West. The Flash dropped a huge depressing bomb on its audience in the winter finale.
