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.

I’m not surprised that this episode did that well especially since GRODD has returned. Overall I didn’t find the episode as great as I thought it would be. The story I thought was alright but for some reason this episode didn’t quite do it for me. I actually thought the second part was moderately better than the first. The GRODD scenes were the best parts and some of the talk between Iris and Barry with him as the flash and on secrecy. And even though “Wells” used GRODD as a sort of diversion to complete his plan team flash still wouldn’t have been able to find him just yet as not even we the viewers really know where he is right now. It was great to finally see GRODD in action but I feel the rest of the story could have been better.

I am actually not surprised by how good the ratings are especially since GRODD is in the title and he was finally one of the main focuses. But for me this episode didn’t really do it for me. The GRODD scenes were honestly the best parts. That and some of the heart to heart talking with Iris and Barry as the flash and secrecy. The story itself was fine but didn’t really do it for me. The second part was actually moderately more better than the first. And even though “Wells” used GRODD” to distract team flash they still wouldn’t be able to find where he is now, because not really even we the viewers really know where he is. Even though it was great to finally see the giant gorilla in action the story I think could have been better. Hopefully when GRODD does come back the story we will better and there will be more of a battle with him.
