THE FLASH: DeVoe Is Up To No Good In The New Promo For Season 4, Episode 20: "Therefore She Is"

This was a strong character episode with few flaws around, the team was still reeling with Ralph's death but they still managed to move forward and actually scored a win this time to counter balance the defeat from last week.

I am glad they made Caitlin discover that Killer Frost wasn't exactly gone forever and just like when she told Barry that it wasn't possible that his cells, which had been transformed when he got hit by dark matter, couldn't have just stopped producing his speed and likewise hers are as well meaning she can awaken Killer Frost again.

Siren-X was badass but also a bit dislikeable, maybe because she was a Nazi. IDK tbh, but it was nice to see another evil version of Laurel, the mask fitted her too. Only with her I can find a small plot hole in how she wasn't being affected by Fallout's radiation. I will just chalk it up that now she was placed in either their pipeline or at ARGUS. But she being able to use her sonic powers to also hear the team from long distances and even use her scream to keep a breach open? Creative.

More on that: Siren-X's powers being used in a new wave, this version of Laurel can use her skills to hear from distances (like the scene where she heard the plan they were making to move Fallout from all the from STAR Labs) to know what people are saying and Barry's lightning makes a sound when he moves, she was also using her powers when she was trying to make Fallout explode so she heard him coming, hence why the slow motion before Barry arrived.

It was *so* satisfying to see DeVoe get something wrong for once. You could say it has happened before in 4x14 when The Fiddler harmed him but here he really was not cool with how this didn't went according to plan. He can't calculate how people will answer in a emotional way. And his further divorce from emotion and from his wife's gentle approach is a good parallel to Barry at the end when he accepts to go with Iris to talk about his grief of Ralph.

I am going to quote what someone said in Reddit: "I know you all hate the line, but this episode is a clear example of why “we are the flash” is so important to the show. There’s a complete dichotomy between the devoes and barry/iris. the flash support each other while devoe manipulates and ignores marlize for his own gain. The theme of the season is that love is more powerful than intelligence. the devoes started off being madly in love and working together and have now become out of sync which will lead to their downfall. i think harry losing his intelligence is also symbolic of this as cisco pointed out that the support and caring he offers is more important than how smart he is."

My heart keeps breaking for Marlize.

It really seems that this won't exactly be the last of Wentworth Miller.

It was nice to see Joe comfort Barry again like in S1.

Next week looks better, the Enlightenment is gonna be revealed finally.

Good week so far for DC. Only thing Arrow must do now is deliver with the Oliver vs Diaz fight at least.

The hate this show gets is clearly full of hyperbole. Sad.

I still think DeVoe is more Ultra-Humanite than Thinker in this portrayal.
