Last week’s episode of The Flash found Barry and Wells (Grant Gustin and Tom Cavanagh) racing to close the breaches, while Wells began leeching the speed from The Flash, putting him in considerable danger. And he kept warning Barry while he was doing it. In the end, he just could not betray Barry, and confessed all. They threw him in a cell, but good guy Barry decided to help him instead of punish him, setting the stage for a trio to Earth-2. Iris (Candace Patton) tried to investigate the drag racing to try to get her brother out of it, but got hurt. Oh, and the meta of the day was Tar-Pit, and he was pretty easily defeated.

Last week’s The Flash ended with a scream… actually that was me, when I saw the glimpse S.T.A.R. Labs in Earth-2, all shiny and bustling, with its founder Dr. Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh), still looking like an evil genius. Squeeee!!!
As for the rest of the episode, the meta of the day was the Sand Demon, dropped into their world by Zoom on a speedster-killing mission. It’s hard for even The Flash to put him down. Garrick tries to explain to an angry Barry (Grant Gustin) who throws him into a containment cell. Stein (Victor Garber) gives everyone an Earth-1/Earth-2 tutorial, but then almost dies. Cisco’s burgeoning power is manifesting more and more. But sh!!! It’s a secret. He even helps them find the kinapped future ex-girlfriend of Barry Allen, Patty Spivot (Shantel VanSanten). Iris’s (Candice Patton) mother shows back up and wants to see her. What?!?
