Yes , Tom Cavanaugh has returned to The Flash , as the Harrison Wells of Earth-2 link up the SuperSTARS in fighting Zoom . Guess what , though ? People are having a hard time trusting someone ho face exactly like the malefic mastermind who murdered their loved ones ( or in some cases , themselves ) . It also does n’t facilitate that the Wells of Earth-2 is a full jerk ! A hilarious , screaming jerk .

Guys , I ca n’t enjoin you how much I loved “ The Light and the Darkness . ” I think I laughed out loud during it more than any other Flash sequence so far . The sequence begins with Wells give a printing press conference in Earth-2 , where he debuts what is fundamentally a metahuman - find Apple Watch . Jay Garrick arrives ( with his powers entire , so this is clear a flashback , no pun intended [ I do n’t know why I lie down to you people , the punning is always mean ] ) and blames Wells for creating Zoom and all the metahumans rampage through Earth-2 ’s Central City . Wells throws some shadiness back at Jay , Jay leaves in a miff , and in a casual aside Wells says hello to his teenage girl ( ! ) .

Back in the present of Earth-1 , things are very uncomfortable now that Harrison Wells has arrived . This Wells is n’t secretly Eobard Thawne , but he also does n’t give a single poop about what hoi polloi think . He wants Barry ’s help in defeating Zoom , whom he allow he created . Basically , everyone reacts poorly to Wells ’ comer — Jay throws a tantrum , Joe literally draws his gunman and just starts firing — but Cisco add up up the post perfectly : “ You know , our Dr. Wells may have been malefic , but you ’re just a diiiiicck . ” ( It ’s the weird lilting emphasis that Cisco puts on “ dick ” that makes this line of reasoning - reading utterly everlasting . )

Really , the sequence is all about this new Wells — who everyone agree to start calling Harry to differentiate him from his evil Earth-1 incarnation — returning to the crease . The main way this happens is because Zoom has bring over Dr. Light to kill the Flash . Now , I ’m not sure how caught up you are on the comics , but this is not an previous criminal / sexual assault enthusiast with a clear - gun version of the villain ; it ’s a young woman with metahuman brightness powers , and on the show , she also happen to be Barry ’s ex - lady friend Linda Park .

Barry has a lot of trouble with Dr. Light . First she escapes by blast a bunch of bystander in a bank ; it ’s very whacky that Barry could n’t catch up to her after carry through these bozo , but I ’ll earmark it since he grabs a bunch of comfortable chairperson for the fall victims to land in . ( I can always forgive the show fudging Barry ’s speed power as long as it result in something play , which this is . )

The second prison term Light manages to blind Barry , leave in a view that should absolutely not sour but somehow does : Barry start on his first date with Patty Spivot , and wear sunglass with a camera and hidden mic included so that Cisco can direct him through dinner . It ’s such a obtuse romantic funniness cliché — made even dumber by the fact that for some reason the only television camera glass the hyper - advanced STAR Labs can produce only transmit black - and - white , exclusively so Barry can miscarry at noticing the color of Patty ’s dress — and it is outstanding . Mostly it ’s due to Carlos Valdes as Cisco , who spiel his part as guide with a wonderfully half - assed nonchalance , even while supporting and congratulating his friend . It also aid that Barry and Patty ( and their actor ) have a chemical science sorely lacking between Barry and Iris . But most of all , it helps that Patty figures out Barry is effectively blind and call him out on it , because she is 1 ) a detective and 2 ) not an half-wit . She ’s not livid , she ’s just amused , and the day of the month is a succeeder for the attendees and viewer alike .

Meanwhile , Light has decided to drink down the Linda Park of Earth-1 , as it seems be standard Earth-2 metahuman subprogram . She arrives at the newspaper where Linda and Iris work , try out to kill Linda , fails , and then circumstantially kill a beloved editor in chief who may or may not have been introduced this very installment right before Iris fool her helmet off with a gun Joe had given to her originally . Back at STAR Labs , Harry deduces and reveals Cisco ’s Earth-2 vibration - sensing major power — think back , he has that metahuman - detecting spotter — squeeze Cisco to finally fess up in front of the others . Happily , no one feels inordinately betray , Barry does n’t throw a pique tantrum , and everyone is supportive of Cisco . This admit Harry , in the sense that he browbeats Cisco into using his receptive powers — and Light ’s toss helmet — to locate the metahuman .

She ’s at the train station and , in that mode that only a superhero as vastly overpowered as the Flash can be , somehow the Flash ca n’t get close to the light - dash - firing evilness Linda . Harry has the answer : run so fast the Flash create after - images to pull in her fire . I ca n’t tell you how hearty it was to watch Harrison Wells basically instruct Barry yet another new superpower , even if Jay had to show up and give Barry a bit of a peppiness talk for him to achieve it . Of course by the ending Flash throws Light into a girder , knocks her out , and pose her in the pipeline . The final stage ! Well , except for the last scene , which reveals that Zoom is holding Wells ’ girl surety back on Earth-2 .

Now that Harrison Wells has rejoined the SuperSTARS — well , a Harrison Wells — I am so damn aroused for this show again . Not that I was ever really disliking it , but bringing Tom Cavanaugh back with a whole new mystery , a hilarious new bad position and for no one on the SuperSTARS to have any awe for him whatsoever ? That , my friend , is a recipe for some undischarged amusement flop there . And that ’s even before you envision in that Cisco has finally realise his superhero name , Vibe !

Suddenly , Tuesday nights ca n’t get along tight enough . ( Pun “ not ” mean . )

Assorted Musings :

• There ’s a lot of aggression between Harrison Wells and Jay Garrick in this episode : Jay hat Harry for not admitting he created Zoom and the metahumans ; Harry hates Jay because he fundamentally run off from Zoom for two old age like a giving ol’ coward , and then Harry thinks Light is a killer while Jay assures Barry she ’s not . I indicate all this out because eventually they just start punching each other , and Barry deal his sweet time before separating the two . It ’s pretty mirthful to watch him let them thump the bullshit out of each other for a mo .

• I know I ’ve sound out it before , but there ’s a real natural rapport between Grant Gustin and Carlos Valdes that even makes inconsequential scene like them hanging out in the coffee shop a delight to catch . They really sense like genuine friends . aboveboard , this may be because Valdes has a great resonance with everybody . I ca n’t believe this is the same fibre who annoyed me so much when the show began .

• By the direction , that was the future Hawkgirl working at millilitre Jitters that Cisco ased on a date . Absolutely no signs of her next Hawkgirl - ness revealed so far , though .

• Uh , why do the Earth-2 metahumans want to vote down their Earth-1 dopplegangers ? The only reason I can cerebrate of is that they require to take their place , but if that ’s the case , why would Light kill Linda at oeuvre in front of a crowd ? Seems like that would botch her masking fairly instantly .

Doctor Who Omega

• Think we ’re going to meet Earth-2 Barry ? Or Cisco ? Or Eddie Thawne , who has presumably had no want to kill himself ? Or whatever part of Barry ’s menage survives over there ?

• Both Barry and Patty and also Caitlin and Jay portion out their first osculation ! I ’ll give you three shot which osculate was more bland , and it was n’t Barry and Patty .

• Somehow the kiss with Patty makes Barry ’s eyesight counter , at which point he at once opens her cap to appear at her dress , but looks for all the world like he ’s at once checking out her wheel .

Roborock Saros Z70 Review

• Cisco evidently had the line of the nighttime with the dick commentary , but the Honorable Mention goes to Barry , scolding Joe about the focus of having Harrison Wells turn back : “ You shoot him ? That ’s not helping . ” Also , I find like both as a fuzz and a dependable guy , it was super - mess up up for Joe to instantly fire his gun at Harry when clear everyone was just bear there in no obvious danger .

• Uh , what are Earth-2 ’s Linda Park ’s accreditation ? Because I have my doubts that she in reality earned her Ph . D.
