Spoiler Alert!
Hello people!
Back with one more The Flash rant and you know what? This episode was actually pretty good! Not as good as some from the early seasons, but definitely better that the episodes we have been having lately.
Honestly, what they are setting up with this episode looks pretty cool - let's just hope they can work with it in a way to keep us engaged. But basically this whole episode revolved around this guy that we have met before - Birch - who's arrested for the incineration of a bartender he was arguing with a night prior. However, when he's arrested, he says that he's innocent and begs them to believe him and to not take his son away from him. All of this reminds Barry of what happened with his own dad and that's how this episode is set up.
Throughout the whole episode Barry keeps saying that he believes that Birch is innocent (which I also did) even though no one in the Team believes him (also, the evidence is against the guy so... there's not much to hold on to).
After a talk with Joe, Barry decides that he will help Birch to clear his name and that's when another victim is found that Chester discovers that the methods of burning do not match Birch's abilities, therefore clearing his name. Post that, Flash and Frost stop Birch from kidnapping his son from social services and, with Birch's help, they stop a lava channel from erupting.
That ending was kind of lame but the ride and what they figured out by the end of the episode - that someone else is doing this killings, basically a meta serial killer - looks pretty interesting to me and I'm really curious to see what they do with it.
There was another story-line in this episode that, although not really that interesting, it did get on my nerves so... I guess it did it's job. It basically involved Allegra doing an article with Taylor about an influencer but Allegra doesn't believe in that story and goes against Iris' oders and writes an article about someone else that she knows from Iron Heights. Iris does agree to run Allegra's story but tells her that she needs to appologize to Taylor, which Allegra does, but Taylor doesn't take it well and promises to take her down. We'll see where this takes.
I must say that this serial killer thing is looking really promising and I hope they stick with that story-line for the remaining of the season. However, there's this whole side plot with Iris and her stuff disappearing and she forgetting time and... I don't know how all of this is going to connect. Hopefully everything will make sense in the end. But I guess that's it from me for now.
Let me know what you thought of this episode - do you think this is The Flash going back to it's early days? What do you think is going to happen with this meta serial killer? Tell me everything and I'll talk to you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela
