This week, we get a Peek-a-boo at a new rogue, a glimpse into Barry and Caitlin’s personal lives, a role for Barry’s father, a set-up for Firestorm’s reappearance, and a teaser for the most-anticipated Flash villain’s debut.
If that big hairy deal at the conclusion may be the High Point (though it was a decent episode overall), the Low Point continues to be the constant reminders that S.T.A.R.’s prison (apart from being illegal) is practically unworkable.
For the all the problems with the low point, they are introducing long term characters in a respectful way. I really like how they are introducing Firestorm as an ongoing if only recurring character.
Pipeline “Prison” : The Flash :: The Ridiculous “Disguises” : Arrow
Lots of facepalm-worthy discussion for both. “Where do they poop?” vs “What kind of idiot wouldn’t recognize him?”.
That aside, I liked the effect they used for Peek-a-boo and the story was decent, but the best part was the whole Barry/Caitlin Karaoke experience. And the follow-up drunken conversation about peeking.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say Barry’s new friend is evil in some way. Or fishing for some sort of info.
