Two weeks ago on The Flash, Grodd was back, using his mind to bend people to his will. His goal? To make more Grodds. He mind controls Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) but doesn’t want to hurt her. he remembers how kind she was. They get Earth-2 Wells (Tom Cavanagh) to pretend to be dead Wells, with Cisco’s (Carlos Valdes) help, whom Grodd saw as a father. Earth-2 Wells did have a real answer. There is a Grodd habitat on Earth-2, and they send him there. The other theme is father-son relationships. Barry (Grant Gustin) is having a lot of doubt in himself, so Iris (Candice Patton) calls in his real dad (John Wesley Shipp) for the sage Rocky speech that the first Wells used to do when Barry was doing Flash-y stuff.

Beware! Spoilers for “Legends of Today” below.

Arrow and The Flash are skipping Thanksgiving week next week, and we will all be quite sad. However, beginning with The Flash on Tuesday, December 1st, and continuing on Arrow on Wednesday, December 2nd, comes the 2-night crossover event we’ve been waiting for since the season began. Crossovers between these two shows were the highlights of last season for both of them. We’ve had some guest appearances, but nothing like this.

Watch the extended crossover trailer here below.

Last week on The Flash, Zoom (Tony Todd) was front and center, as Linda (Malese Jow) pretended to be Dr. Light as bait. They did some bad playacting to draw him out, but Zoom wasn’t fooled. He ended up hurting Barry (Grant Gustin) horribly, then dragging his limp body around Central City, showing everyone how their hero has fallen. Barry can’t feel his legs at the end of the episode.

Last week on The Flash, another meta was sent through the breach, Dr. Light, a doppelganger for Barry’s ex Linda (Malese Jow). On Earth-2 she was just a thief, as Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears) insists. Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) insists that Zoom can change a person. Dr. Wells also outs Cisco (Carlos Valdes) as a meta, now named “Vibe.” Not only is he a meta, he gets the girl, Ciara Renee, at least for one date. Barry and Patty (Grant Gustin and Shantel VanSanten) go on a blind date, because Barry is blind (thanks to Dr. Light) for a little while which she quickly figures out. We find out the real reason Dr. Wells wants to capture Zoom. He kidnapped his daughter.

Last week on The Flash, Harrison Wells from Earth-2 saved The Flash!!! From a Sharkman! Woohoo! What is this, the Syfy channel? So happy that Tom Cavanagh is back. Now I don’t know if this is the real Harrison Wells, or if on Earth-2, Eobard Thawne also killed the real one. My guess is that this is the real one, because Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) never became The Flash. Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears) did. Plus the S.T.A.R. Labs of Earth-2 was bustling and sunny. Earth-1’s lab gang during this entire episode is trying to find another other half to Dr. Stein (Victor Garber), because he is becoming instable. They find one in the form of Jax Jackson (Franz Drameh). Barry’s new love interest, Patty Spigot (Shantel VanSanten) is adorable.
