The title "We Are The Flash" is a callback to Iris West-Allen’s controversial line from earlier in the season. In the finale, it moves beyond a romantic sentiment to a literal strategy. To defeat DeVoe, Barry must enter DeVoe’s mind. He isn't acting alone; he relies on: change of heart. Iris’s navigation and emotional support. Ralph Dibny’s internal struggle to reclaim his body.
