It’s what happened with Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and it’s happening with Ramsey here. The parent gets it at a way older age, but the child gets it at a younger age. One thing that’s always baffling is the treatment of genetic diseases as happening at the same time in parent and child. New episode of #TheFlash starts NOW! /3ShA7c9cIl If every emotional moment in the episode had been like that, it would’ve been one of the best episodes of the series. It’s a heartbreaking conversation that the two have, performed perfectly by Grant Gustin and Jesse L.
This sense doesn’t carry over to the final scene with Barry and Joe. The later portions of the episode manage to do a better job with Cisco, but because the biggest scene fell flat, the story doesn’t fully work. Not because Cisco doesn’t except Barry’s death and his fear of his friend dying, but rather the execution is flawed because of the cheesy dialogue that doesn’t fit the tone of the scene. It’s attempting to carry over the thanatophobia theme from last episode, this time applying it to Cisco, but it doesn’t work as well. Grant Gustin and Carlos Valdes both give solid performances, but even a good performance can’t make the dialogue better. Dialogue feels awkward and silly in ways that it hasn’t felt like in the past. When the story needs to get really serious though, it kind of falls flat. Hopefully, the show manages to keep this tone for a couple more episodes. It’s channeling the tone of the first season of the show, aka the best season, in such an excellent way. This story may have dire circumstances with some darker ulterior motives, such as Cisco’s betrayal of Barry to try and save Barry’s life, but it’s still funny and entertaining. This is one of the first times in what feels like forever where the A-plot of an episode of The Flash actually has a good amount of humor to it. And that heist, unsurprisingly, quickly goes wrong, which helps to show what Nash is capable of. They aren’t doing it without any help though as Nash Wells joins them on the journey. Now that The Flash himself, Barry Allen, has revealed that he’s going to die in the crisis, thankfully not letting the secret eat him alive, he’s focused on saving as many lives as he can, starting with Ramsey.
