THE FLASH - Escape from Earth-2 Vibes

You should not read this article if you are yet to see The Flash Season 2 Episode 14 and if you are avoiding spoilers but hey, bet you knew that already

Escape from Earth-2 picked up from where last week ended and it was true to its title, the team did escape from Earth-2. In this episode, Zoom is on a large scale hunt for Harry; Cisco and Harry had to figure out a way to save Barry and Jesse with the help of Mr. & Mrs. Allen and an initially reluctant Killer Frost while evading Zoom’s capture. Meanwhile, back on Earth-1, Jay worked to fix the unstable breach as Caitlin tried to perfect on Velocity 8 to help Jay stop Geomancer who continued to terrorize the city.

At last! Jay Garrick is beginning to be interesting. The freaky guy in the helmet at Zoom’s lair was trying to pass a message about Jay but Zoom stopped him before he could say any more (or should I say, tap). Maybe he is Jay Garrick or Jay isn’t who he says he is, but either ways, I’m excited to find out. Now I’m interested in the Jay story which was kind of boring before. I have a feeling we’re really close to finding out Zoom’s identity maybe in the next couple of episodes. I know we’re close to the reveal and I bet it has something to do with Jay Garrick or Hunter Zolomon.

 As you could tell by my review last week, I wasn’t exactly sold on Iris-2. I just had a wrong feeling about her but I think I’ve warmed up to her now. She was cool in this episode and quite rational. She didn’t quite have her head all over the place despite her dad’s death. She made strong decisions which made me respect her character here and there’s no denying the beautiful marriage she has with Barry-2. They are one comfy couple. The couple will be moving to Atlantis until this Zoom issue is over at least (looks like they left out the name Arthur on their speed dial list)

CCPN’s new editor doesn’t seem to be a big follower of Flash (he’s cute though - haha). Iris-1 was going to get an exclusive interview with Jay to help save the Flash’s image in CC but she ended up not needing that with Jay’s heroic act when he had to save everyone in a building before it collapsed thanks to Geomancer. Turns out Velocity 9 works super-wonders; it’s healing Jay’s cells. Don’t know how wise it was of Geomancer going to Star Labs like that but then most villain aren’t exactly famous for their smartness, so… Where was Jay when Geomancer was shaking Star Labs’ foundation. Hmm… now I’m suspicious (exciting, yay!!)

Barry-1 and Jesse working together was great to watch and I still don’t know who the freaky helmet guy at Zoom’s is but he obviously is very important. Killer Frost was quite a hero herself. The escape wouldn’t have been possible without her help; cold heart or warm, Caitlin Snow has good in her. Not like it was ever in doubt before but I’ll mention it still: Grant Gustin is a great actor; portraying Barry-2 this week was beyond hilarious and fun to watch. I was hoping we’ll get a glimpse of Mayor Snart this week to be sure of which Snart is really mayor but it’s all good, I guess; not like it was important anyways.

Quick question: What smart scientist goes smiling happily in front of a collapsing breach?

Answer: Not a very smart one. Or the one with a plan or maybe accident.

I guess we’ll find out soon enough. Zoom has Jay now or killed him supposedly.

As always, the episode was enjoyable to watch and great. We will have to follow to know what next for the Team now and how will Zoom be able to get to Earth-1 now that all the breaches are closed.
