The Flash Recap: Don’t Run

Season 4 / Episode 9 / The CW And you say C-City! It’s like santa’s workshop up in S.T.A.R Labs for the midseason finale! Team Flash is out here decking the halls and bagging on Cisco’s tree decorating skills. The guys got jokes about kickin it with Killer Frost, behind Caitlin’s back. Dibney’s lack of a filter is a part-time problem, much to Caitlin’s surprise and saltiness. We get a little more DeVoe backstory, but his time to shine comes later this episode. Honeymoon Hangover Barry and Iris get to opening wedding gifts when she notices something about him. Iris presses Barry about not using his powers in Bali and during Christmas clean-up. He admits that he used to look for any excuse to speed through life, then tells her “I don’t have to run when I’m with you”. That shit was smooth as a Barry White track at 2am.

Central City Streets DeVoe appears outta nowhere and blasts Barry with the ill energy blast. Hubby-mode kicks in and he runs Iris to safety then squares up with the cerebral assassin. Barry does his best Crouching Tiger, Hidden Flash impersonation as he glides across the side of a building on his way to puttin the beats on getting bodied…and quickly. He’s taken to DeVoe’s sanctuary and imprisoned in some super powerful invisible cell. CC Jitters Caitlin out in them barista streets sulking in Killer Frost is cooler than me tears. Harry stops by to cheer her up and makes a joke about Jitters’ ridiculous Killer Frost frappe/latte or whatever the hell it was. I bet…
