“I got to pick and choose [for myself] how much I wanted to know [about Eva’s story], and when I wanted to know it,” she says. “At the beginning, I just wanted to know the beginning. I didn’t want to know how she left the mirror. And once she left the mirror, I wanted to know her whole plan. But I didn’t want to know how she was going to be stopped. So, I basically still don’t know, even though it’s been written.”
“I don’t know that she’s ever stopped,” Dor says, laughing.
This, of course, seems to indicate that we won’t see the defeat or capture of Mirror Master before Season 6 ends. Which, although an unplanned twist, is still a rather interesting one.
Other than Thawne, who’s popped up on the show multiple times, The Flash has never experimented much with villains that transcend multiple seasons (an understandable move, given how often it’s struggled with giving them 22 episodes of worthwhile story in a single one). But Eva as herself is such a different kind of villain, there’s every possibility that her story could work well in a more extended format, or one in which she appears sporadically over the course of multiple smaller arcs.
So, might we see Eva return in The Flash Season 7, either to wrap up dangling plot threads or offer up a new threat to Central City? Apparently even the Mirror Master can’t see the future on that score.
