Last night’s episode picks up from last week’s. There are spoilers—abandon now if you hate spoilers. Anyway, Zoom has Barry and now he is hunting Harry, spreading his demand that citizens “bring him Wells” all over the city.

This week the team heads off to Earth-2 to stop Zoom and rescue Jesse. It’s an action-packed episode with a lot of great Easter eggs for comics fans, but as always this recap contains spoilers. If you’re not into that it’s time to get off the ride because it’s full speed ahead to Earth-2 from here!

The episode opens up two years ago at night in an industrial building. A couple of bad guys have a man tied up and are dangling him over a vat of hot, bubbling tar. The bound guy has money that the thugs want and if he doesn’t give it up, they will drop him into the tar below.

As the episode opens with our hero narrating, Barry talks about the nature of running and how it plays out in his life: running to avoid things. While he is running Harry and Cisco are irritating each other in the lab with Harry being demanding about what Barry needs to do and Cisco just poking his buttons.

Last night’s episode opens with Barry and Patty happy. They are having a beautiful date (with the exception of some roses that caught fire due to Barry using his speed to get to the date).

The Flash is DC’s television adaptation of the comic book of the same name. It airs Tuesday nights at 8/7 Central on The CW. Our writer, Nicole Drum recaps the series each week updating you on the latest episode here in The FlashBack.

This week we finally get to truly encounter Zoom so if you haven’t seen last night’s episode this is your call to step away from the recap. If spoilers don’t scare you, hold on to your hat because here we go.

Earth-2, eight months ago. Harrison Wells (the real one for his world) is holding a press conference to talk about STAR Labs’ commitment to helping save the world from metahuman bad guys. Wells, you see, has developed a series of apps to let people detect approaching metahumans.
