This episode wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It was more of Snow family drama rather than anything related to black flame. Although iris's time sickness is somewhat interesting here yet again.
Frost and Caitlins mother get involved and decide to set up a trap for the black flame using frost as bait. Barry is initially against this but eventually agrees. However, the trap fails and frost gets hurt.
Now I kind of wanted to see frost get burnt but nope, she is fine as always.
Caitlin gets involved and more family drama occurs but is solved and Caitlins mother also reveals she has cryogenic powers , then she and frost both become bait and try to again trap black flame in which they are, but Carla was about to get hurt so frost backs away and saves her and then the black flame disappears. So apparently frost has learned a lesson when it comes to acting reckless and putting hers and other lives at risk.
The focus shifts to iris in coast city. Apparently her sickness isn't a sickness perse according to deon. Things start disappearing wherever iris is around due to her so called sickness. But things get interesting when after they help tinya unite with her mother, iris's time sickness kicks in and makes tinya's mother go POOF.
LOL, that was literally like the worst thing that could have happened there.
Now the interesting part comes here, the black flame comes to Caitlin and starts saying some words which Ronnie had said to Caitlin before he died. Caitlin thinks this black flame is Ronnie.
The ending of the episode is the only thing driving me to watch the next episode.
Honestly, I didn't feel like this episode achieved anything much. The Snow family drama was alright until the halfway stage where it felt like it kept extending on and on, which made it annoying towards the end.
There was really not much progress made on the black flame storyline apart from the Ronnie thing which everyone expected.
The trapping of black flame didn't need one full episode at all. In the end he just escaped and felt like in the end nothing was achieved.
Although team flash doesn't believe so, they feel like they know how to trap the black flame and hence something good came off it.
But this thing didn't need an entire episode to figure it out.
I expected some action and some frost vs black flame but nope. Apparently this show lacks the cgi budget and quality of good writers.
Overall: 7.5/10 I have a bad feeling this graphic novel is going to be entirely about Caitlin and not at all about the flash. If Barry and Caitlin share this storyline, I'm totally fine with it. But this storyline seems to focus on everyone else but the flash. This was the problem with season 7 and Eric Wallace and the writers haven't learnt their lessons.
Many would disagree with me but I liked the last week's episode better as the black flame storyline was the base of it even if it was focused on chester.
Perhaps it's my fault for expecting something more.
Eric Wallace and his team of writers need to distance themselves from this show bad. Eric said that things would get intense at the middle of the season, guess what? Absolutely no intensity, I mean they aren't even willing to hurt any character, it's all a cakewalk. So all Eric Wallace says are just lies....
I'm praying that he and his writers would just get replaced at the end of this season (regardless of how this season turns out) and find some other show to ruin.
