This upsets Nora, who doesn't share Cecile's compassion and feels Joss should be punished to the full extent of the law. Nora takes the stand, but Cecile cuts her questioning short. Barry remembers he's due in court, and Nora says she'll testify in his place, since she's an honorary CSI or something.īack in the courtroom, Cecile tells Iris she senses remorse in Joss, and is going to recommend a lighter sentence. Nora lets go of Barry and he falls through the floor and into the cell. Cisco suggests placing Barry in a cell in the STAR Labs Secret Super Jail, which will dampen his powers and prevent him from phasing to the center of the Earth.
She zooms him back to STAR Labs, where Team Flash discusses how to fix the problem. Nora grabs Barry and is somehow able to counter his phasing. He begins phasing uncontrollably, as his feet fall into the ground. He catches up to the black clad driver, but when he tries to grab the car, it glows with dark energy and causes his powers to go haywire. Apparently a petty car theft takes precedence over a supervillain who's already been captured and being tried.īarry and Nora then chase after the car thief. Barry promises he'll be quick (heh) and speeds off. She reminds him she's planning on calling him to the stand. In the courtroom, Barry gets an alert and tells Cecile he has to go. Meanwhile, a woman clad in black leather (of course) pulls out a glowing key fob and steals a Lamborghini, leading the cops on a poorly-edited chase through downtown Central City. Cisco looks at the shards lying in a tray and gets an idea. Yeah, let's just ignore that and keep going. She then briefly becomes Killer Frost and applies "ice sutures" to his hands to heal the wounds. She falters, but still finishes her statement.īack at STAR, Caitlin removes the dark matter shards from Cisco's hands. She senses great remorse from Joss, and actually starts feeling sorry for her. Suddenly Cecile's ESP powers act up (even though we were told they'd fade after her pregnancy) and she inadvertently reads Joss's mind. She begins her opening statement, stating she intends to prove Joss Jackam used her dark matter weather vane to harm the citizens of Central City, cause extensive property damage and attempt to murder her own father. This attitude upsets Iris.Ĭecile's a bit nervous, as it's her first day back in court since her pregnancy. Nora savagely comments that she can't wait to see a villain like Joss get what's coming to her. Cecile's serving as prosecuting attorney, while Barry's a witness in the trial.
In the meantime, they've stationed guards outside of Grace's hospital room, to prevent Cicada from trying to visit her.īarry, Iris and Nora then attend the trial of Jocelyn Jackam, aka the Weather Witch.
She tells him their deal's off, and she's not going to work with him anymore.Ĭut to present day STAR Labs. He reminds her he taught her how to time travel so she could meet the father she never knew. He tells her he regrets what he's done, but she says she can no longer trust him. She's furious with him after finding out he killed her grandmother (and namesake). In 2049, Nora visits Thawne in Iron Heights Prison.
Why the hell is he even still on the show? Ideally he should have been dealt with once and for all in the mid season finale, so the series could focus on the return of Thawne. Trouble is, she's had so little screen time the audience has no connection with her, and couldn't care less about her one way or the other.Ĭicada's a no-show this week, dragging his arc out even longer. It also brings back a minor villain from a few episodes back and would have us believe she's turned over a new leaf. There's also some puzzling character motivation, as Cisco suddenly decides he no longer wants to be a superhero, which may or may not be paving the way for his departure from the show. The biggest problem with The Flash & The Furious is that nothing actually happens, as the episode spends the majority of its runtime setting up plotlines for the back half of the season. This week The Flash returns from its mid season break with one of the most "meh" episodes in the series' entire run.
