Review
The episode wasn’t necessarily bad, but it didn’t live up to the previous episode. The entire reversal felt like a cheap move to undo everything impactful from the former episode. Still, it wasn’t bad and actually had some good moments. Barry having his identity revealed will likely play a significant role in the future. It’ll be intriguing to see how Snart is able to capitalize on the situation. A 7 out of 10 is reasonable here.
