The Flash season 9 episode 2 reveal: Who is Khione?
With that being said, there is still a big question here — who is Khione, exactly? We don’t think everything is spelled out in the altogether-clearest fashion there, so let’s get into that for a moment, shall we? This is, effectively, a new character of sorts, someone who is a blank slate but also a reference to Dr. Thomas Snow in the past. There are roots to this, but her presence also created a harsh reality that both Caitlin Snow and Killer Frost are gone. That means that we’ve lost an original character on the show.
Is that reveal a little too rushed for our liking? A thousand percent, especially since Caitlin herself felt under-utilized over the past few years with the writers trying to develop both her and Frost at the same exact time. We know that this “new” Khione is here for a reason, but that may not be fully explained until we get a little bit closer to the end.
For the record, even Danielle Panabaker herself is surprised about how all of this went down. In a new interview with TVLine following tonight’s episode, here is some of what she had to say:
“I will say that it was surprising for me, especially so fresh on the heels of losing Frost … Due to the fact that all of a sudden, our episode order got reduced and we had such a shorter season, I do think everyone’s sort of forced to grieve Caitlin quickly.”
This quote does make us realize further that there were definite plans at one point for the final season to be a bit longer, and we have to look towards the new CW as the reason why that didn’t happen.
