While Iris’ (Candice Patton) time sickness bounces her to the future where struggle to find a way to help, that same condition has affected the negative version of the Forces (Sara Garcia, Ennis Esmer, and Christian Magby) who make a trip to Lian Yu to kill Eobard Thawne (Tom Cavanagh) and then to S.T.A.R. Labs to kill the younger version (Matt Letscher) as well. In need of more speed, Barry‘s (Grant Gustin) training of Fast Track (Kausar Mohammed) takes a turn when he teaches her how to share her speed with Eobard (a really, really, really bad idea the episode races through without a second thought) leading to the apparent death of a major character and rebirth of another in the cliffhanger ending of “Part One.”

“Death Falls” features a big battle between Team Flash and Deathstorm. Team Flash will come out on top, as an enhanced Frost (Danielle Panabaker) proves up to the task to fight off the evil shadow monster that preys on grief and has recently taken on the form of Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell). The episode is structure very much like a Halloween episode (odd for Spring, but whatever) with the evil Deathstorm torturing the various heroes to elicit grief in plans of making Frost’s doppelganger his bride (do evil cloud monsters need brides?).

While Iris (Candice Patton) remains in Coast City to deal with her “time sickness” (seriously?) and attempt to help Tinya (Mika Abdalla), Team Flash continue to search for the Black Flame (which may or may not have ties to a member of the team’s past). Over objections, the team decides to use Frost (Danielle Panabaker) as bait to lure out the meta with the help of Dr. Carla Tannhauser (Susan Walters) who has been keeping a secret about her own latent metagene. Other than exploring the theme that Frost tends to be the most reckless member of her family, the episode is your typical mid-season forgettable fare where Team Flash’s plans end up with mixed results.

On his father’s birthday, Barry (Grant Gustin) comes across a murder caused by a fire metahuman. An overwhelming amount of evidence, including motive and opportunity, points to recently-released two-time loser Jaco Birch (Max Adler). However, Barry isn’t sure the police have the right man and continues to investigate the crime while being haunted by memories of his own family torn apart by a father incarcerated for a murder he didn’t commit. While Barry is able to eventually prove the man’s innocence, and prevent him from doing something that would send him back to Iron Heights, Team Flash isn’t able to find the meta behind the attacks.

The Flash‘s post-Armageddon season kicks off with a Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) and Bart (Jordan Fisher) episode as the Flash children discover their visit to the past caused some temporal fissures which need fixing. Heading back to 2013, the pair are able to set the timeline right but in doing so create more trouble with the far earlier formation of the Royal Flush Gang. While everything is apparently set right by the end of the episode, we do get a tease that there may still be some lingering effects waiting for Team Flash to deal with.
