The Flash is now
down to its last two episodes. Tonight, Barry becomes desperate to find Dr.
Wells and has enlisted the help of both good and, sadly, bad guys. Here are the
highlights of “RogueAir,” the 22nd episode of the 1st
season of The Flash:
Magic wheelchair. The
cat is curious again and Cisco goes through Wells’ wheelchair. Obviously, the
wheelchair is not some sort of prop to earn sympathy. Rather, it has some kind
of battery, similar to the one they found in Gideon, which does not only power
the chair but also aids Wells in gaining more speed. Along with this discovery
is the sudden activation of the particle accelerator.
Eddie is saved. After
much thinking, the team realize that Wells must have been hiding inside the
S.T.AR. Labs all this time. Viola, they are correct. But Wells simply speeds
past them and escapes. However, they find Eddie imprisoned in one of the
chambers. What more, Well left a little trick behind. He installed power tubes
in the particle accelerator and in three days, it will operate and kill
everyone near it. Everyone means the five meta-humans locked in the pipeline.
Evacuation plan. Barry
is disgusted with Wells’ using the meta-human enemies as pawns and does not
want them to get mercilessly killed in the process. As the local prison Iron
Heights do not have the technology to handle meta-humans, he plans to evacuate
the prisoners to Lian Yu, the fictional island prison in Arrow. But there is one problem – how to transport the meta-humans
without attracting attention. The district attorney refuses to help Joe and
Oliver Queen is still in Nanda Parbat. Desperate, Barry turns to Leonard Snart
A.K.A. Captain Cold and his sister Gold Glider for some help. Captain Cold agrees
in exchange for the deletion of all his criminal records in the police, FBI,
A.R.G.U.S. and online. Regardless of everyone’s disapproval, Barry continues with
his plans.
The sabotage. The
big night comes and the team is to transport the prisoners via truck designed
like the Pipeline. They are to meet an A.R.G.U.S. plane in Ferris Airfield. But
upon arriving at the venue, the power fails and the truck ceases to function. Ultimately,
the prisoners revive their power and attacks Barry. Then Captain Cold reveals
he sabotaged the truck in order to free the meta-humans. He also rescues Flash
from the enemies, making Barry and the meta-humans owe something to him. Then he
and Gold Glider make a grand exit.
Ended affair. Eddie
Thawne is not himself after his rescue. Iris is concerned about it and confronts
him. Eddie then tells her about the news from the future which Wells had given
him. Iris is furious but Eddie already wants out. In the end, the two break up
in very bad terms.
Dynamic trio. After
his failed evacuation plan, Barry attempts once more to catch Wells. This time,
two superheroes are back – Caitlin’s lover Ronnie or Firestorm, and Oliver
Queen himself. Or is it Al Sah-him, considering he is not in his green hoodie? And
how the hell did he show up when he is supposedly in Nanda Parbat? Anyway, the
three coordinate and work together to fight Wells. Using Ray Palmer’s
nanotechnology called “nanite,” Arrow successfully immobilizes Wells. Good, the
Reverse-Flash is finally taken!
FINAL THOUGHTS. Next
week will be the season finale of The
Flash. Considering that the meta-human prisoners they caught this season
are all back in the open, can we expect all-out enemy attack against Central
City? Or will they just hide for a while and terrorize again in the next
season(s)? And after much guessing and speculations, will we finally learn about what
happened to Nora Allen? Will we be able to see the events of the night of her
murder? And now that Wells is captured, how will it change the game? Will the
activation of the particle accelerator play a great role in how the season ends?
Let’s found out next week.
