The Flash: Wildest Dreams (2023)
Candice Patton and Nicole Maines are a dream come true!
The episode starts with Nia Nal/Dreamer (Nicole Maines) alone in a dimly lit warehouse, where she encounters a mysterious figure in a dark robe and various people, but suddenly Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) appears in front of Nia and dies moments later. The scene cuts to Nia asleep in the National City Jitters coffee shop, but once she wakes up, she knows she needs to hurry to Central City to warn Iris of what she saw in her dream. Nia arrives in Central City and meets up with Iris (for real) and Nia begins telling Iris that she is actually one of her role models when it comes to journalism, but things take a dark turn when that mysterious figure from Nia's dream appears and traps Iris and Nia in a dream, which then turns into a nightmare! Throughout the episode, both Iris and Nia face several challenges, including different versions of the life Iris could have had and the doubts they both have about their lives and destinies. Both Iris and Nia eventually come out of the dream stronger from their experiences, but not before Nia learns that the mysterious figure in her dream was in fact the original Dreamer.
Candice Patton and Nicole Maines have only worked together on screen for this one episode, but from their chemistry, you would think they have been working together for years. Nicole hasn't played Nia/Dreamer on screen since Supergirl wrapped up late in 2021, but she has not missed a beat; she is still as fantastic and badass as ever, and this episode, in my opinion, was definitely a winner for Candice and Nicole and their respective characters. Bravo, Candice, and Nicole!
