Wells pays Joe a visit and asks him to talk Barry out of this stupid plan of his. Cisco agrees to try, but fails at his first attempt because he has no confidence in himself.ĭr.

Cisco’s Earth-2 doppelganger, Reverb, had a bunch of powers that Cisco hasn’t explored yet. If Wells won’t help him, Barry gets it in his head that Cisco might be able to reopen a breach using his “vibe” powers. He just has to figure out how to control that power.) Assuming that this is the ‘Supergirl’ crossover point, Barry already knows that he can travel between universes all on his own, and doesn’t need Wells or anybody else to open a portal for him. He’d prefer that Zoom stay trapped a universe away, but Barry just can’t turn his back on Earth-2. Wells, however, refuses to help him do that. Labs.) Feeling cocky and convinced that he’s now as fast as Zoom, Barry is eager to reopen a dimensional breach and return to Earth-2. (Although airing several weeks late, this must be the corresponding tie-in to last month’s ‘Supergirl’ crossover – though it’s very strange that Barry never mentions anything about traveling to another Earth when he gets back to S.T.A.R. As he’s running, we see him disappear in a blink briefly and then reappear a moment later. The device super-charges Barry’s Speed Force and allows him to run at least four times faster than ever before. That’s a name we’ve heard before.īack in the here and now, Barry is testing a new tachyon enhancer device that looks like a big metal ring and attaches to the front of his uniform. That’s then juxtaposed with a similar scene on Earth-2, the exact time unclear and only described as “Many Years Ago.” A young boy witnesses his abusive father (a war vet wearing a familiar winged metal helmet) murder his mother, and is then shipped off to an orphanage. The first is just a quick reiteration of young Barry witnessing his mother’s death 15 years ago.

The episode opens with not one, but two flashbacks. The big plot twist in this week’s episode is such a blatant BS ret-con that it’s practically an insult to viewers… No, scratch that “practically.” It must be a direct and deliberate “F.U.” from the show’s writers to the viewing audience. I swear, ‘The Flash’ isn’t even trying to make sense anymore.
