The Flash: Rogue Air Review

The Flash Season 2

The episode begins with Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) speaking to Eddie Thawne (Rick Cosnett) about taking back everything that has been taken from them. Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) meets Iris West (Candice Patton) and attempts to convince her that they’ll be able to find Eddie. After a message from Cisco (Carlos Valdes), Barry returns to the lab and joins Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) and crew. Cisco talks about Harrison’s electric scooter, before showing them a power generator under the wheelchair, which Wells potentially used to gain more speed.

The computer clicks on and alerts the group that the accelerator has been rebuilt and turned on. Barry insists Wells must be inside Star Labs somewhere, before they begin hunting. Wells makes himself visible, while the rest of the meta humans are released. Peek-a-Boo (Britne Oldford) escapes and nearly kills Caitlin, but Iris stops her. On the streets, the Reverse Flash is able to escape Barry’s grasp. Back at the lab, Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and Cisco find Eddie. Iris looks around and finds the wedding ring.

The accelerator triggers on again and Cisco finds the tube that Harrison was working on. Caitlin and Cisco speaks about the captives and insist they have to release them. Barry suggests sending them to Oliver Queen’s (Stephen Amell) island prison. Joe insists the idea is insane, before he is shown at the police station speaking to Cecille (Danielle Nicolet).

Joe asks her about moving the meta humans to the island and asks for support. She insists human smuggling is illegal and refuses to get involved. Barry tells Joe about an airplane that they’ll be able to use for the transportation. Meanwhile, Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller) is shown getting a drink at the Saints and Sinners bar. Barry enters and insists they need to talk. Leonard eventually agrees to help, but he wants something in return. Eddie heads back to work and is confronted by Iris, who questions him about the wedding ring.

Leonard interrupts and insists he wants all of his records destroyed. Barry agrees, but Joe doesn’t. They argue in private.

He suggests Barry was always a part of their relationship. He tells Iris to let their relationship end, if she really loves him and she agrees to do so. At the lab, the group watches Wells arrive at the lab and Barry confronts him outside.

Review


The episode was a good lead in to the finale and a second season, since all of the meta humans were able to escape thanks to Leonard Snart. It was also fun to see The Flash team up with Arrow and Firestorm to finally stop Wells. However, it leaves a major question mark on the finale. Either way, it was a good episode and deserves a 7.5 out of 10.
