I did enjoy the episode overall but it did bring back the one thing I dislike about The Flash and that's douchebag Barry. I was really hoping we'd seen the end of that Barry last season but it seems every time something doesn't go Barry's way, he reverts and it's kind of funny but I never noticed it until tonight but the way he reverts is similar to Harry and how Harry throws a tantrum every time he makes a mistake. I wonder if it's supposed to be a parallel.... Anyway Barry managed to treat Izzy as an object all episode and still ended up losing. I do feel bad for him in that he didn't get his job back which kind of didn't make sense but also did cause normally I'd be all who cares about conspiracy theories but the fact that it's true kind of diminishes how irritated I'd be and left me mostly amused by the situation.
Izzy was super fun and I'm really sad we lost her. Every time I end up liking one of the bus metas, they get killed off and tonight's episode brought up a problem I've noticed but ignored. If DeVoe wants all the bus metas, why is he not taking Ralph? He's had multiple opportunities and the fact that he can create some sort of weird prison around a person to prevent them from leaving should make it really easy. Like I know the real reason is cause Ralph is a main character this season and the show can't kill him yet but I would like an in show reason for why the DeVoes are waiting.
Speaking of, DeVoe is getting more and more insane as the weeks pass by and it makes me wonder if his wife's theory that all this jumping around from body to body is actually hurting his brain function is true cause it would make sense. Before he jumped bodies the first time, DeVoe seemed more rational and grey while now he's leaning more towards insane villain. It would have been a fun twist if somehow DeVoe was actually good and he was doing something that Barry didn't know but unfortunately even if that was the case it seems now DeVoe is just another villain which does lead to the question that we still haven't answered and that's what does DeVoe want? If he gets all the bus metas, then what? Will his brain deterioration stop? Will he take over the world? What's the endgame?
Harry and Cecile were amazing tonight and I loved how completely awkward Harry was every time he talked to Cecile but that she ended up loosening him up cause she's such a cinnamon roll that you can't help but love her. Cecile is a gift and I'm so glad she's on this show now. It was weird that we didn't see Joe all episode and without an explanation either... I guess we're also going to be seeing Jessie soon cause it seems like Harry is going to call her here soon and I really hope this disservice they did to her character will be fixed cause they made Jessie into this awful person who breaks up with her boyfriend over the phone basically and without any warning and kicks her dad out of his house/work for reasons that we don't know.
Ralph is continuing to not be the worst and hats off to whoever is writing his script now cause I no longer want to gag every time he's on screen. Cisco and Caitlin didn't do too much this episode though Cisco was holding his head at the end of the episode when Barry was telling him to hurry up figure out where DeVoe was so it made me wonder if maybe he got hurt when DeVoe pushed him out of his vibe.
Next week looks super cool and I can't wait to check it out! It's such an exciting and really unique idea for an episode and I can't wait to see what happens. I think Jessie Quick and Jay Garrick are coming back for that episode so that's fun too.
I'll see you all Thursday for my Arrow review and my Gotham midseason premiere review!
