Spoiler Alert!
Hello guys and Happy New Year!
We are back to our usual program and we're starting off with a brand new The Flash episode!
Right away I need to say that I was sad that Ralph wasn't in this episode (you know me and my affection/obsession with Ralph) but, overall, it was a good episode. Also, I liked the fact that we basically went through an episode of The Flash without the flash really doing anything but I'll get to that in a minute.
The episode starts right away with the big cliffhanger from episode 8, with Nora going to Thawne and refusing to work with him because he killed her grandmother. After that, we get back to present time and we see that it's Cecile's first day back on the job and we see that she's going to represent Central City in the trial of Joss Jackam (Weather Witch). During the trial, Barry gets a call about a new villain, Silver Ghost, who possesses meta tech allowing her to access any car, who Barry and Nora go after. In this encounter with Silver Ghost, Barry touches her tech, leaving Barry phasing uncontrollably, and that's when the 'no flash in this episode' happens.
In a way to help Barry, Nora and Team Flash help Barry into the pipeline, where he can stabilize for 24 hours (which means he won't be able to help catch this villain).
Meanwhile, Silver Ghosts frees Joss from CCPD's custody so she can help her steal a WayneTech car in ARGUS's possession. I really liked this little 'crossovers' - the WayneTech (obviously Batman related), the ARGUS (Arrow) and there was also another little Legends connection that I liked when they gave Mick's book to Barry for him to read while in the pipeline.
Anyway, The Flash being The Flash, obviously they work out a way to stop Silver Ghost and Weather Witch. Unfortunately, the weren't able to catch them, but they were able to stop them and that's enough for now. Plus, Silver Ghost mentioned something about creating a Rogue Group and I like the sound of that so... Let's see what this brings.
But this episode wasn't all about catching Silver Ghost. We also had some stuff between Cisco and Caitlin, where Caitlin helps heal Cisco's hands and they agree to try to develop a meta cure, provided that those they help can choose to either have or not have their powers removed.
And well, in the very end of the episode, and because every episode of The Flash is basically a way to teach something, in this one Nora 'learns' that bad people can change so she returns to the future and agrees to help Thawne who, from the looks of it, doesn't have much time left.
Oh, and we also see Sherloque Wells going to the Time Vault and discovering that the files on Nora West-Allen have been deleted.
That's basically it for the comeback of The Flash.
This wasn't exactly my favorite episode, but it opened a lot of doors for good story-lines plus, we can forget about Cicada who, from the preview for next episode, is going to start kill again so... It's going to be interesting.
Let me know what you thought about the episode and I'll talk to you on Friday with a new Supernatural rant!
Love,
Daniela.
