‘The Flash’ Season 4 Spoilers: Tom Cavanagh Teases Council Of Wells

More Harrison Wells are coming to Central City in Season 4, episode 6 of CW’s “The Flash.”

According to Entertainment Weekly, the episode will see Earth-2 Wells, aka Harry (Tom Cavanagh), enlist the help of the smartest Wells in the Multiverse in an effort to determine the identity of the Thinker (Neil Sandilands).

Calling this group the Council of Wells, Cavanagh revealed to the news outlet how the idea came about. “We had a sprinkling of it when they were on their quest for H.R. Wells last year where we had Hells Wells, Mime Wells, and Steampunk Wells, and so that was just a one-off, but that got everybody’s juices flowing like, ‘If we were to do that, what would that look like with there being a Council of Wells that could convene?” Cavanagh told Entertainment Weekly. “We thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be completely obnoxious and shameless when I get ahold of it,’ and it is proving to be super obnoxious and ultra-shameless in hopefully the most appealing way.”

While Cavanagh didn’t reveal how many new versions of Wells will be introduced in the episode, the synopsis for the episode suggests that there will be four Harrys in the installment. So how does Cavanagh distinguish all these Wells from one another?

“With the Council of Wells, when fashioning these characters, you want to make sure that you can have the most impact in the littlest amount of time,” Cavanagh said. “If there’s 20 percent of the comic book bubble left [after telling a ‘Flash’ story] then you want to fill that [properly] and so you want to find ways to get in there right away with these guys, so I’m doing that.”

Although new versions of Wells will debut in the episode, it seems that Earth-2 Wells will remain to have the biggest role among all the other Wells in the season. “He’s a genius, and his daughter [Jesse] is safe, and she’s The Flash on Earth-3, and he’s one of those people who’s realizing that he doesn’t have a life,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told Entertainment Weekly last August. “So Season 4 for Harry is really realizing what he’s missing in his life and what it is he needs to become a better, more complete person, and so he’s going to be going on a fairly epic emotional journey this season that is tied to The Thinker’s plan.”

“The Flash” Season 4, episode 6, aptly titled “When Harry Met Harry,” airs Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
