The Flash Recap: All Star Team Up

Season: 1 / Episode: 18 / CW Okay, Omar’s sitting out this turn on the Flash recaps, so you’re all stuck with me this week. Deal with it. So, when we start this one off, it’s a new day as Joe West and Eddie Thawne have a busy night multitasking on the night beat with a little help from the Flash. Actually, to be fair, they had a lot of help from the Flash. I mean… basically he just stopped to drop off a perp and take a breather in their car. Anyway, it seems things are just a tad easier now that Joe and Barry have let Eddie in on the whole secret identity thing. For some reason. I’m sorry, guys, but I have to say Eddie Thawne is pretty lame in the Arrowverse. Honestly, name two awesome moments he’s had since this show started. Really… I’ll wait. Anyway, while you’re thinking that over, back to the episode. So, Barry and Joe later find themselves at a crime scene where the people have been attacked by a swarm of killer bees. Shit like this makes Starling City look appealing in comparison to Central City. I grew up in the hood. I can deal with crime, but y’all got Barry out here fighting biblical plagues and shit. Cisco feels me. Right, Cisco?

Now, Barry’s a little gun shy about doing the usual “figure out what we’re dealing with in five minutes at Star Labs” thing in light of the fact that Harrison Wells is the Reverse Flash. Also, he’s not entirely sure that Cisco and Caitlin aren’t in on the whole thing considering that they’re nerds and nerds stan for Dr. Wells the way…
