Warning: SPOILERS for The Flash season 6, episode 15.

Fans of The Flash weren’t pleased with the death of Cynthia/Gypsy (Jessica Camacho) earlier in season 6, but The Flash season 6, episode 15, “The Exorcism of Nash Wells” shows that the writers have committed to keeping her death post-Crisis on Infinite Earths. Gypsy was killed off-screen in the episode “Kiss Kiss Breach Breach” by Echo, Cisco’s doppelganger from Earth-19, who framed Earth-1 Cisco for her murder.

This went over badly because Gypsy was a beloved character, killed off-screen with essentially no warning. She hadn’t appeared on the show since season 4, only for Breacher to show up telling Cisco she’s dead. The actress didn’t even appear in flashbacks to the scene where she was killed. Instead, they used a body double without showing her face (likely because Jessica Camacho was shooting Watchmen at the time). Rather than a stronger exit for a character the show drastically improved over the comics, she was just dead, with maybe the saving grace of this all happening pre-Crisis resetting the multiverse.

And now, The Flash season 6, episode 15, “The Exorcism of Nash Wells” has Cisco confirm that Gypsy is dead, just like happened pre-Crisis. When trying to convince Nash to confront his grief over losing Maya (Allegra’s doppelganger), Cisco brings up his memory of watching Cynthia die. He convinces Nash to go into the cave because he’s not going to be able to heal if he just keeps on avoiding the pain of it. While he wasn’t there in person to see it happen, this is consistent with Cisco seeing the footage Echo used to frame him for Gypsy’s murder in the original multiverse.

Cisco and Gypsy stand side by side in The Flash

Gypsy’s death felt on The Flash unnecessary to many fans, as they already had a good reason for her to not be on the show: she and Cisco had broken up and gone on with their lives. She worked as a breacher on a different Earth, so they didn’t need to kill her off to explain why she wasn’t on the show anymore. Killing her in “Kiss Kiss Breach Breach” just felt like a bad excuse to give Cisco a lead role in that episode.

The changes from Crisis on Infinite Earths were a chance to undo all of that. While a version of her on Earth-Prime may not have been the same character from the original Earth-19, it would have at least given her some opportunity to come back in the future. Instead, her death pre-Crisis now feels like housekeeping to The Flash fans: if she’d not died in that episode, then everyone would’ve been asking the question of what happened to her (similar to the still-lingering question about Jesse Wells) in the new multiverse.

That gives a reason but not a satisfying ending to Gypsy’s story on The Flash. For a character that was a surprise hit with fans, Gypsy got a disappointing ending to her story. While post-Crisis changes could’ve given her arc the better ending she deserved, the writers passed up the opportunity to bring her back or at least give her a better death in The Flash season 6, episode 15.
