This week’s episode, however, will see the people at STAR Labs looking for another Firestorm match for the brilliant physicist. “‘Barry gets super-speed, Ronnie gets to fly, and I get these blinding headache and nightmare visions of people being killed?’ It’s not, at first blush, the most heroic way to step into the world”. “Meanwhile, Iris surprises Joe; and Barry and Patty grow closer”. Iris tells her mother it’s not the right time in her life for her mother to pop back in. They need to find someone with the molecules necessary to bond with Dr. Stein.

That night, Dr. McGee at Mercury Labs is going over her schedule when an alarm sounds. They offer to help him, but he flatly refuses. Patty happens to walk by and sees her fabled “Man Shark” and opens fire, though her bullets do nothing. Caitlin pushed him away. Could this be the Picture News reporter’s gesture of telling her father that everything’s ok between them despite the secret being kept from her for a long time? The one thing we didn’t do past year on Flash, and I keep kicking myself for it, is when Oliver got exposed as the Arrow, there was no mention on Flash for all those episodes about everything Oliver Queen was going through. As he tries to save everyone, Jax is hit by the effects and knocked out. The two leave in a rush.
Jax Jackson makes for a great hero origin story, and Franz Drameh embodies the other half of Firestorm in a way I’m not sure Robbie Amell ever did. Hewitt is at Central City High School’s stadium and Flash and Firestorm head there. They go over the two Firestorm candidates, with Caitlyn clearly favoring Hewitt due to his background and work ethic.
“I’m sure that you’ve been through a great deal”, Iris tells Francine.
Iris and Joe are reminiscing over a few old photos and he tells her she doesn’t have to meet her mother if she doesn’t want to. But holy crap KING SHARK (…spoilers)! Zoom wants him dead.
“The Fury of Firestorm” was quite the eventful episode and slowly but surely fans are beginning to see what Wells may have planned for Barry and his team. With his ego burned, Henry walks out just as his powers start to appear. King Shark? HELL YES! “Obviously we can’t afford to do an entire killer King Shark episode”.
In this episode, we saw Caitlin becoming a lot more proactive.
Harrison Wells is helping Barry? Hopefully they explain the personality overlap “thing” to Jax first. His coaching reminded me of bad captioning from 90s comic books.
I really had no expectation on how the ending was going to play out, even with Harrison Wells being teased throughout the episode. On the downside, he and Stein leave at the end of the episode, so that means Barry is on his own. This is a character that you can easily get attached to because the episode centered around him, but seeing that he’s leaving means the viewers won’t be able to see him until who knows when.
“And it’s exponentially bigger this year too because we factored in all the characters from ‘Legends, ‘ too”, Panabaker noted.
In last week’s episode of “The Flash”, Joe (Jesse L. Martin) finally revealed to Iris (Candice Patton) that her mom Francine (Vanessa Williams) is still alive. There will be a third Flash this season: Wally West! Francine herself is nothing more than a plot device to deliver the information Wally exists. It’s a tantalizing cliffhanger, but it’s also frustrating as it only serves to amplify how much this episode ignored the groundwork laid for this season in favor of setting up an entirely different show.
