Late tonight, Deadline Weekly revealed that Warner Bros. Television and writers associated with The Flash have landed a deal for Virtue, a series focused on the Cecile character from The Flash as played by Danielle Nicolet. Nicolet is expected to reprise her role in the series, which will take place several years after the events of the Flash finale.
Jesse L. Martin is not expected to be a part of the series as he has prior commitments to The Irrational on NBC. Intel from the studio reveals that some characters fans have been itching to see again — such as Chester, Allegra, Khione, Chillblaine, and Arrow’s Raisa the Maid — might show up in some capacity. In keeping with the current CW lineup, the new show will pair Cecile Horton with a cop to solve crimes — but, of course, that cop will sadly not be Joe.
The official logline for Virtue suggests that Cecile will be a single mother who balances her superpowers and law background with solving crimes and being a mom. She will also reconnect with her daughter Joanie from whom she has been estranged for several years, and it’s expected that the Joanie character may be recast. Many thought The CW was out of the superhero business, but the producers’ pitch showed that her mental-based powers could make the show easier and more affordable to produce on a TV budget. It is expected that some of Cecile’s “level up” powers from Season 9 of The Flash will be toned down, and it is said that another reason Virtue has an advantage is that it doesn’t conflict with James Gunn’s ideas for the upcoming DC Studios movie universe.
No specific writers have been named for Virtue so far, aside from the notion that they worked on The Flash. Additionally, the Deadline Weekly article confirms that neither Grant Gustin nor Candice Patton are expected to show up on the series.

This episode was interesting, but I’m a bit surprised that this episode has gone up this high. Seeing Barry travel back into time and seeing almost everything he had to relive was pretty good and the thing with the old Dr. Wells/Thawne figuring out that Barry had come from the future and putting things together was good. But I didn’t quite understand those evil floating things to well. The whole thing with them was just weird. And seeing Piped Piper being all nice and friendly, I didn’t get at all. But then again I didn’t quite like his character that much to begin with. But it was great to see Rick remake his appearance as Eddie and leaving a video message for Iris which was a cool and emotional idea as some closure for Iris. And what finally looks like an answer for Barry to get faster looks like it finally might have paid off. Overall though I thought that this episode was just another decently good episode. But still some parts especially in this episode with the whole thing with time seems to be getting weird but still understandable enough.
