It’s the final four, starting with this week’s The Flash 1.20 “The Trap”! But first, a little recap of last week’s crossover episode.

Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) took a trip to Starling City, the scene of Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) car accident that was so fatal to his Tess (and to the real him) all those years ago. They enlist Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne) to help. While there, Cisco gets the thrill of his life when Laurel (Katie Cassidy) reveals all she knows about the hidden identities and reveals to him that she is the Black Canary. “I love you,” Cisco says. We love you too Cisco! He is my favorite character on the show. Cisco helps her with a techie problem, and Lance helps them out too, by not reporting the dead body they found of the real Harrison Wells. Now they have the proof. Joe gives Lance some wise advice on forgiveness.

It’s time to talk about my favorite show! I hope my other shows don’t get jealous. Before we get to The Flash 1.19 “Who Is Harrison Wells,” let’s recap 1.18 “All Star Team Up.”

Cisco (Carlos Valdes) met his new bestie Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), as he and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), crossed over to Central City to get help with The Atom suit. This was in the midst of the season long Reverse Flash mystery, and the episode long Bug-Eyed Bandit (Emily Kinney), who caused death by robotic bees. Felicity was a shoulder for Barry (Grant Gustin), and gave him some pretty good advice. Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and Barry showed Caitlin and Cisco the Reverse Flash board, and spilled their theories. Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) is in disbelief, but Cisco tells of a dream he had… where Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) killed him.

Make sure to watch the four clips below.

The Flash! Oh how we’ve missed you the last two weeks! We did have awesome videos to console us like “Superhero Fight Club,” an inside look at this episode, and even got a little preview of “All Star Team Up”.

Last week we got a mega geek treat with Mark Hammil as the Trickster. We all swooned when he told his protege, “I am your father.” On top of that, the Master-Padawan moment I referenced was Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) guiding Barry (Grant Gustin) on how to get to a speed to pass through solid objects, and all but said, “Feel the Force.” This led Barry to be sure that he was the Reverse Flash. Flashback to the night Barry’s mom was killed. Dr. Wells is… not Dr. Wells? We see the entire ugliness. Happy Dr. Wells was run off the road, his wife Tess died, Reverse Flash sucked the life out of him and assumed his identity, all because he got locked in the past after murdering Barry’s mom.

The Flash 1.18 “All Star Team Up” review: The verdict? This episode is deserving of the mega-buildup it generated. Each millisecond was hypnotizing.

The next episode of The Flash, Episode 1.18 “All Star Team Up,” has been anticipated for weeks, and now Tuesday, April 14th is almost here to make our Flash dreams come true.

Check out the episode preview videos here below.

These videos are just bonkers! My favorite part of “The Future Revealed” video is Laurel (Katie Cassidy) revealing to Cisco (Carlos Valdes) that she is the Black Canary, and him responding with a swelling sincerity, “I love you.” That scene alone makes me love Cisco more than everyone.
