THE FLASH: “The Darkness and the Light” {Recap}

There are so many parts of this episode to unpack, and right now it’s too hard to even process where this is all going to lead.

Firstly, Cisco’s powers are finally revealed to everyone in the STAR Lab team. But it took the Dr. Wells from Earth Two to tell everyone that. But what does it mean for Cisco with those powers and knowing when or how he can use them?

Jay is frustrated that Earth Two Wells has arrived and can’t stand to help Barry if that Wells is still here. Barry, if I were you, I’d trust Jay over any iteration of Harrison Wells. Nothing Wells said before was the whole truth and I’ve got to assume that it’s the same now.

Barry goes out on a date with Patty after a few weeks of flirting, and it’s not such a horrible experience for either of them. What can happen now is only everyone’s guess, though. I mean, Barry’s luck with exes isn’t the best.

Speaking of a Barry Allen ex-girlfriend, poor Lana Park had a rough week. In Earth Two she’s a metahuman, Dr. Light, and that’s the one who Zoom has send over this week to try and kill Barry. As always, no luck with that metahuman, but poor Lana looked confused and lost at seeing a doppleganger. Don’t blame her, but it’s bound to keep happening now that Earth Two can force people over to Earth One.

Isn’t that what Central City always wanted?
