Beautifully directed by Jeff Cassidy, Snow Pack, is all about family drama.
On one side, we have Barry and Iris, whose marriage is threatened by Barrys latest screw-up.
Then, we also have the Tannhauser-Snow family (a.k.a.
Honestly, this may be one of my favorite episodes of the season.
While heartbreaking to watch, this development was also frustrating because it felt like Barry was regressing.
But, apparently, he hadnt.

Barry, on the other hand, cant see past how betrayed he feels and keeps insisting hes right.

In the wake of their big fight, Iris takes some space from Barry.
Instead of talking to Barry again, though, she decides to see her daughter.
With Ralphs help, she absconds with the time sphere and jets off to 2049.
The Negative Force was created by Thawne and is the opposite of the Speed Force.
Whereas Barrys speed comes from his hope, speed from the Negative Force is fueled by anger.
Unfortunately, Nora doesnt have enough pent up rage to make it work her first time.

Thawne offers Iris some advice about helping Nora: She needs you both united, he says.

In fact, Iris even tells Barry as much later on.
Speaking of which, Barry learns a similar lesson about how family never leaves back in 2019.
Thankfully, Caitlin/Killer Frost manages to break free right as the Flash shows up to save the day.
But theres another twist!
What does she plan on doing with it?
However, its not all bad news.
Both of them apologize for acting out of anger and agree to work together.
Looks like Nora just broke bad, which cant be a good thing at all.
