The Flash Recap: The Present

Season 3 / Episode 9/ The CW This week, we finally get that Julian backstory we been looking for. Oh.. You thought we wanted to know more about this professional dick and Barry hater extraordinaire? Naa b. Just wanted to have more reasons to despise every ounce of his being. We see the fallout of Wally doin’ side training. Cisco goes off the depression deep end and Savitar gets the prophetic spotlight in our mid-season finale, The Present. We start off in India. A bunch of rich assholes who don’t know when to leave well enough alone, are digging for that Alchemy Stone. It’s lookin’ grim out in these excavation dirt roads. Julian got that look on his face that you make when you bout to cry cuz you just did a slew of work thinking it was gonna result in the most praise, but at the last minute your boss gives your project the axe. He was bout to say fuck it and blow the rest of his inheritance, move to Thailand, and take up tour guiding when his lil’ assistant archaeologist runs up huffin’ like she just finished the NYC Marathon, so you know they done found the goods. They locate the stone and Julian ignores all sound advice and immediately opens it, triggering violent rumbling. We don’t see the results of this opening, but we all know Julian got hit with that blue stone light and started up his Alchemy fuckboy shit right then n’ there.
