The Flash season 4 finale: Who is Thomas?
Given that this name was first uttered by Cecile to Caitlin Snow, we do think that the most reasonable explanation here is that Thomas is Caitlin’s father. This is someone we’ve heard become a subject of conversation on the series as of late as we explore some of Caitlin’s psyche. We know that Caitlin had a good relationship with her father and she cared about him deeply; unfortunately, she also lost him when she was young. He died from multiple sclerosis and her mother did everything that she could in order to help him for many years. This informed her character for much of her life and the grief that she suffered after the fact is one of the reasons for the breakdown of the relationship with her mother.
So could we meet Thomas in some way then on season 5? It’s an intriguing possibility for many different reasons, namely that he is someone who could bring greater depth to Caitlin’s story. However, save for a revival it’s hard to imagine him among the living.
We should note, though, that it’s not a guarantee that Thomas is Caitlin’s father — we haven’t actually heard the man’s name on the show. If it is Caitlin’s father, maybe this was said by DeVoe-as-Cecile as a way to rattle Caitlin and get under her skin. regardless, this is something that we’re curious in learning more about over time.
