"The Flash Reborn" is the first episode of the fourth season of the American television series The Flash, based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds, and follows Barry, a crime scene investigator who gains super-human speed, which he uses to fight criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities. It is set in the Arrowverse, sharing continuity with the other television series of the universe, and is a spin-off of Arrow. The episode was written by Todd Helbing and Eric Wallace from a story by Andrew Kreisberg and directed by Glen Winter.
Plot
[edit]Iris West has been aiding Team Flash in Central City for six months since Barry Allen entered the speed force prison, but refuses to grieve him. Cisco Ramon, Wally West, and Joe West capture Peek-a-Boo during her latest crime spree. Afterwards, a flying samurai with superpowers appears in Central City, threatening to destroy the city if the Flash does not face him.
Cisco reveals to the team he has been working on trying to free Barry from the speed force since he left and believes he has formulated a way to bring him back without destabilizing the speed force. Iris remains incredulous about how Cisco has kept the secret for so long and tries to make the team understand that their goal is to be able to find out how to defeat the samurai, because Barry is gone and will never return. Despite being forbidden by Iris to bring Barry back, Cisco pursues his idea and tracks down Caitlin Snow, who is now working as a bartender, to ask for her help. She agrees to help him.
Against Iris' orders, Cisco, Caitlin, Joe, and Wally try to bring Barry back home. Cisco uses the Speed Bazooka to try to deceive the speed force and release Barry. The plan appears to have failed, but in fact it works and Barry exists the speed force in front of a public bus in Central City. He speeds off and is later found in Ivy Town. Barry is brought back to the Central City police station, where Team Flash and Cecile Horton greet him. Barry appears disoriented, rambles random statements and continually writes symbols on the walls. With Barry unable to fight, Wally engages the samurai, but is defeated. Cisco deciphers Barry's writings and finds an apparently meaningless sentence. In an attempt to recover Barry's memories and get him out of his catatonia, Iris gives herself up to the samurai.
Joe goes to Barry and tells him that Iris is in danger and that she will die if he does not go save her. Barry regains consciousness of himself and speeds away, rescuing Iris and defeating the samurai, who is revealed to be an android. Caitlin rejoins Team Flash, but is revealed to have been working for a mobster called Amunet, while also continuing to prevent the Killer Frost personality from emerging. The "Samuroid" is revealed to have been controlled by the Thinker, whose plan was to draw out the Flash for his next schemes.
Production
[edit]- "It's obviously no great surprise that The Flash will continue to be a part of the TV show called The Flash! But the circumstances of his return, and what he's like when he comes back from this experiences is part of the fun and surprise of the season premiere," Kreisberg promised. "This year we really wanted to pivot into fun and brightness; the title of the premiere is 'The Flash Reborn,' and for us it's a little bit of a restart, diving into more comedy, more fun, more brightness, and more excitement."[1][2]

- Last seen leaving Central City to deal with her icy new powers as Killer Frost, Caitlin is "continuing to struggle with the cold monster lurking inside of her,” Kreisberg says. “But she will definitely come back into the fold in the premiere episode."[3]

Plot
[edit] | This article needs an improved plot summary. (November 2017) |
Gypsy's father, Breacher, attacks Cisco, vowing to hunt and kill him in 24 hours, allowing the romance should he survive. Team Flash learns that the bus driver was murdered and tracks down another passenger, Ralph Dibny, former corrupt CCPD detective exposed by Barry and currently an infamous private investigator. As two thugs attack Dibny, he is revealed to have the power to stretch. Caitlin stabilizes his powers with a serum. The team learns that Ralph has been blackmailing Mayor Bellows for adultery, with the latter revealed to have hired the thugs. Barry confronts Ralph for his actions while the latter scolds him, claiming to have been a "good cop". He later stops blackmailing Bellows, who still attempts to kill him while Breacher mistakes the former for a Plastoid, the species that invaded Earth-19 previously, and attacks him. Cisco intervenes and saves Ralph, whom Barry, having revealed his alter-ego, convinces to help arrest an escaping Bellows. Admiring Cisco's gallantry, Breacher allows the relationship. Barry recruits Ralph for Team Flash and learns that someone named DeVoe instructed Ralph to watch Bellows. Barry remembers that Abra Kadabra and Savitar both mentioned DeVoe. Meanwhile, Caitlin finds a message on her apartment door.
Production
[edit]Development and writing
[edit]- Well, we just thought it would be a great episode. Gypsy and Jessica [Camacho], they’re so tough and so strong. We’re like, “Obviously she came from somebody strong,” and we just thought it would be a hilarious idea for Cisco, who’s managed to melt Gypsy’s heart, being unable to do the same with her father. We were in the room and we were like, “Who could we get?” and someone said Danny Trejo and we all started laughing like, “He’d be great, but of course Danny Trejo’s not going to do this.” But as I’ve discovered over these past few years, if you don’t ask, you don’t get it. So we reached out to him and his people, and it turned out he was a fan, and he was eager to do it, and he loved the character. I feel like we wrote him a great script. His character and his storyline with Cisco and Gypsy, it’s part of this slight redirection of the series this year — it’s just doing much more fun stories and much more just out and out hilarious things to match Barry’s newfound optimism and lightness.[1]
Casting
[edit]Main cast members Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh and Jesse L. Martin appear in the episode as Barry Allen / Flash, Iris West, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon / Vibe, Harry Wells and Joe West, respectively.

"Enter Flashtime" is the fifteenth episode of the fourth season of the American television series The Flash, based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds, and follows Barry, a crime scene investigator who gains super-human speed, which he uses to fight criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities. It is set in the Arrowverse, sharing continuity with the other television series of the universe, and is a spin-off of Arrow. The episode was written by Todd Helbing & Sterling Gates and directed by Gregory Smith.
Grant Gustin portrays Barry Allen / Flash, and is joined by series regulars Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh, and Jesse L. Martin, with recurring cast members John Wesley Shipp and Violett Beane. The episode explores the concept of "Flashtime" as Barry must work with Jesse Quick and Jay Garrick after a terrorist hijacks an A.R.G.U.S. transport truck and activates a nuclear bomb inside it.
"Enter Flashtime" originally aired on The CW on March 6, 2018.
In this episode, a bomb goes off in Central City and Barry is forced to enter Flashtime (the time in which Barry travels so fast, seconds are stretched into minutes) while he and others must find a solution.
Plot
[edit]Jesse Chambers Wells comes to Earth-1 to have a talk with her dad. Joe West and A.R.G.U.S. agents are escorting a shipping container in warehouse, when they come under heavy fire from a group of armed assailants. Joe calls Team Flash for help, with Barry Allen, Cisco Ramon, Killer Frost and Jesse arriving on scene. Eco-terrorist Veronica Dale opens the container and sets off the nuclear bomb inside, which Barry tries to stop, entering a form of superspeed known as Flashtime, where everything is frozen. However, the bomb has already detonated, and he and Jesse cannot stop it or save everyone with superspeed. Barry sends Jesse to get Jay Garrick from Earth-3 to help.
Barry brings Cisco into Flashtime and asks him to send the bomb to another Earth, but Cisco is unable to open a breach because he's moving too quickly. Barry returns Cisco to normal time and speeds off to ask for Harrison Wells' advice. Harry suggests sending it into the speed force. Jesse arrives with Jay, who shoots down Harry's idea because they could destroy it and cause every speedster in the Multiverse to lose their speed. Jay suggests stabilizing the bomb by cooling it down. They return to the scene of the bomb and Barry brings Killer Frost into Flashtime to get her to freeze the bomb, but that also does not help. As Barry puts her back in normal time, Killer Frost asks him not to let Caitlin die.
Jesse proposes to strike the bomb at the same time with three lightning strikes, one each. The three speedsters start speeding up; Barry and Jesse each throw a lightning, but Jay is unable to hurl his lightning bolt, crashes and exists Flashtime. Barry and Jesse are unable to agree to a viable solution. Barry convinces Jesse to use her remaining time to return to Earth-2, but instead she goes back to S.T.A.R. Labs and exists Flashtime by her father's side.
Barry remains in Flashtime alone trying to find a solution. Eventually, he brings Iris into Flashtime, who gives him the idea to retrieve the Quark Sphere from the speed force and direct the consequent discharge of lightning against the bomb to disable it. Barry does so, and throws the Sphere back into the speed force, saving Central City. Jay admits he is retiring and going to train a new "female" speedster. Jesse and Jay return to their Earths, and Caitlin and Wells go for a coffee, where they encounter the mysterious girl.

[edit] | This article needs an improved plot summary. (June 2018) |
The Enlightenment begins and total chaos reigns in Central City as Cecile Horton goes into labor. Marlize arrives at S.T.A.R. Labs to help Team Flash stop Clifford DeVoe. Joe West brings Cecile to S.T.A.R. Labs. Marlize DeVoe explains to the team that as soon as the purple matter covers the entire world, the human consciousness will be restored. Marlize uses Cecile's telepathic powers from her pregnancy to send Barry Allen into DeVoe's consciousness to find the good left in him. While Cecile is under empathy state near Caitlin Snow, Cecille speaks as Killer Frost and mentions a person named Thomas.
Barry searches all the places where Marliza and DeVoe have been together, but is unable to find the "good" DeVoe. He finds Ralph Dibny alive in DeVoe's consciousness and together they find the "good" DeVoe dead. DeVoe enters S.T.A.R. Labs to attempt to keep Team Flash from reaching the nexus of his mind, as he follows them to a pocket dimension. In his consciousness, Barry comes up with the idea that since DeVoe is using Ralph's body that if Ralph escapes DeVoe's mind, he can regain control of it. DeVoe multiplies himself to fight Barry and Ralph as he takes down Team Flash. Barry and Ralph make it to the nexus; Barry wakes up in the real world and Ralph reclaims his body just as DeVoe was going to kill Cecile. He reappears, though, as a hologram through his chair until Marlize destroys it.
Barry, Cisco and Ralph shield civilians from the falling satellites. Barry builds up speed to use a supersonic punch to destroy the last satellite. Just before Barry touches the satellite, the mysterious girl rewinds time and joins Barry to destroy the last satellite. Marlize gives the team a device to reset Harry's brain resets but he ends up losing his scientific knowledge; he decides to return to Earth-2 to be with Jesse Chambers Wells. Team Flash celebrates DeVoe's defeat with Wally West (who returned from the Legends) and Cecile's newborn daughter Jenna Marie West. The mysterious girl arrives to reveal herself as Barry and Iris' daughter from the future, Nora West-Allen; she claims to have made "a big, big mistake".

"Success is Assured" is the nineteenth and final episode of the sixth season of the American television series The Flash, based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, a crime scene investigator who gains superhuman speed, which he uses to fight criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities. The series is set in the Arrowverse, sharing continuity with the other television series of the universe, and is a spin-off of Arrow. The episode, which is also the 133rd overall episode in the series, was directed by Philip Chipera and written by Kelly Wheeler and Lauren Barnett.
The episode premiered in the United States on The CW on May 12, 2020.
Plot
[edit]Barry warns Carver about Eva after Mirror Singh destroys Black Hole's warehouse, but he rebuffs him until he learns Eva captured his metas, forcing him to accept. Mirror Singh offers to return Iris in exchange for Carver, but Nash has everyone flee before Barry can answer. Hiding at McCulloch Tech, Ralph discovers that Sue joined Black Hole to kill Carver, so he tries to dissuade her. Having sided with Eva, the Black Hole metas disable the security system and attack. As Nash, Allegra, Ralph, and Sue battle them, Mirror Singh sacrifices himself to get Eva inside and knock out Barry. Despite the Flash's best efforts, Eva kills Carver and takes her company back, though she lets Team Flash go.
Eva reveals herself to the public, claiming she was held hostage by a crime syndicate and Carver died saving her. With Carver dead, Sue celebrates her family's freedom until Ralph reveals Eva framed her for his murder. As Joe returns from witness protection, Team Flash plans to rescue their friends from the Mirrorverse while Caitlin departs with her mother for treatment. Meanwhile, Iris is able to concentrate enough to find Singh, but the neural dissonance intensifies until she inexplicably vanishes before Kamilla's eyes.
Production
[edit]Development and writing
[edit]The series was renewed for a sixth season by The CW on January 31, 2019,[1] along with a 22-episode order.[2] In March 2019, it was announced that Eric Wallace would replace Todd Helbing as showrunner for the season.[3]
Wallace felt episode 19, which became the season finale because of the COVID-19 pandemic, worked in the series' favor because it had "a big cliffhanger" that was "a good pause point". The remaining three episodes, which had been written, will become the first three episodes of season seven. Wallace conceded there may be a few small adjustments made based on how the pandemic would affect shooting, but said Eva McCulloch’s story "is on a very specific trajectory that we want to honor and finish." Wallace continued that he thought having these three episodes start season seven was "making it stronger because it's forcing us to look at these two separate things — which is the end of Eva's story and the beginning of the next villain's story and how he relates to Barry and Iris —" and making a strong connection between them.[4]
Casting
[edit]Grant Gustin stars as Barry Allen, and is joined by principal cast members Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Hartley Sawyer, Danielle Nicolet, Efrat Dor, Tom Cavanagh, and Jesse L. Martin, who portray Iris West-Allen, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, Ralph Dibny, Cecile Horton, Eva McCulloch, Harrison Wells, and Joe West.[5] Additional guest appearances in the episode include Patrick Sabongui as recurring character David Singh, Susan Walters as Caitlin's mother Carla Tannhauser, Victoria Park as Kamilla Huang, Kayla Compton as Allegra Garcia, and Natalie Dreyfuss as Sue Dearborn, and Eric Nenninger as Joseph Carver.
Filming
[edit]On March 13, 2020, production was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 90% of the planned 20th episode was filmed by that time, with one more day of filming anticipated to complete it.[6] Though it was initially planned for production on the rest of the season to resume later in the year,[7] the remaining episodes were ultimately not filmed as part of the sixth season.[6] Those final three episodes were included as the first part of season seven.[8]
Reception
[edit]Rating
[edit]"Success is Assured" was watched upon its airing by 1.62 million viewers.[9]
Critical response
[edit]Mike Cecchini of Den of Geek rated the episode 4 out of 5 stars and praised Eva's villainy, stating, "It feels like Eva can be far more manipulative, public facing, and sympathetic than [Lex Luthor] ever was...and she's got a handful of metas already at her disposal, the capacity to create more, and really cool powers of her own. That's a dangerous combo that could make for fascinating storytelling."[10] Chancellor Agard of Entertainment Weekly thought it was unfortunate that the show wasn't more emotionally connecting, while also praising the way the season was able to be wrapped up impromptu due to the halt in filming, as well as complementing Eva, saying "Overall, I thought "Success Is Assured" was pretty fine. On the one hand, I love that it set up a mini-finale arc that pits Team Flash against Eva, who is shaping up to be one of the show's best big bads ever."[11] Lacy Baugher of Tell-Tale TV was also complementing Eva, saying "From her gorgeous costume to her complex motivations and not entirely unsympathetic goals, Eva's probably the most interesting, layered villain the show has had since [the first season]."[12]
Jesse Schedeen of IGN thought it was lucky that the nineteenth episode was able to serve as a good ending for the sixth season, saying "["Success is Assured"] winds up serving as a surprisingly enjoyable and cohesive cap to the season. It hardly ties up all the show's many loose ends, but it does leave the ongoing conflict between Team Flash and Eva McCulloch in a strong place, especially with that final cliffhanger casting a shadow over Season 7. It's hard to say how the series will move forward from here, but at least this finale is able to prevent a satisfying season from ending on a bad note."[13]
