Great line, by the way: "Wait, is this Inception or Dreamscape?

Except that she'll totally give away her secret identity immediately. "Me? Do I know anything about a woman made of ice? Moi?! I can't imagine for a second why you would think that!"

Maybe RF hates The Flash because he robbed/will rob the Thawne family of West genes.

But seriously, Grodd must be really grumpy having to hang out in sewers for so long. "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and all I get to do is thump this or that stray guy up to his knees in sewage."

Did Wells have CCTV of a couple on a bed, woman on top? Thought I saw that.

I'm really hoping Iris plays dumb about Barry's identity for a while, convincingly, to really really call all the menfolk on the "keeping her safe" BS.

Good idea, but I think we'd all be pissed to have to wait 5 extra years for the next episode.

He was trying to frame Eddie. Deep down, he likes Person of Interest, where they only shoot people in the knee.

That's enough, Brick.

The show has already shown us one physical body burping out a second person. I had been wondering about the decision to include an odd hero like Firestorm in the first season of The Flash, but that's a darned good reason for doing so. I'm betting that the resolution of the Harribard storyline involves the "real

Presumably Gideon will just replay holograms of the 3 of them in the room the next time Wells stops by.

Been done. The Somebody Else's Problem Field from Life, the Universe, and Everything. Good idea, though!

The showrunners need to give us an out for this. It wouldn't be that hard. You could imagine, for instance, that Barry has to stop and concentrate to shift into superspeed, and that that takes a moment. I was actually waiting for some comedy with Barry trying to run normally but keep shifting into superspeed and

But doesn't the DA know about it? They cleared Eddie.

Hey, I liked that Everyman wasn't 100% pure evil personified. Sure, he shot 2 cops, but they lived. Other than that, he could easily have killed off most everyone on the show, but he just seemed to enjoy body-jumping.

Wait, so is the Central City Police Department now officially shipping metahumans off to Pipeline Heights? Someone promised they'd "explore the ramifications" of Pipeline Heights, but the whole CCPD just became complicit in indefinite detainment without a trial.

Seriously, they better have a scene where Wells says, "Are you all kidding me? I've known you were on to me since Caitlin's first bug-eyed stare 4 episodes ago!"

Didn't Cisco test the DNA from 15 years ago in the Allen house and see it matched Wells? Of course, that was actually Eobard, before he photocopied Wells, which implies in that episode they were using DNA from the Person Currently Known As Wells (Eobard), whereas tonight they went somewhere else. My head hurts.

So, by including Firestorm this season, we all know that one body can hold two different people and burp them out separately later. After next week's episode with Everyman, we'll know that shapeshifting exists and just because you see "someone" do something terrible, it doesn't mean the real someone did it.

Well, best ep yet, at least. I'd vote for it to keep going if they could keep up this week's level of quality. I bumped up my rating half a notch based solely on Dean Winters' commitment to Russ hugging his mom at the end.
