(Although the lack of blood splatter on Barry’s clothing could easily be explained away by claiming he changed clothes after the murder.) Then where are the bloody clothes? Is there a glove involved? does it fit? huh? still waiting… 😉 ---

Something I’m not clear on: Devoe took over Dominic’s body. Is Dominic dead? Or is his consciousness in his body, but suppressed? Or somewhere else? Has this been established? ---

In which case, I suspect there will be a scene in which Barry will be shouting, “Dominic! I know you’re in there! Fight it!” or words to that effect. Essentially, “Think, Dominic, think!” I suspect Devoe will be beaten by something he overlooked. Because that would be so ironic. ---

IIRC, they established last season that — in the original timeline — DeVoe got beaten by dint of Team Flash rigging up some kind of cerebral inhibitor. ---

Another stupid thing from this episode: Okay, you don’t want the public to know you’re the Flash. Why not tell the judge and prosecutor in private? I was irritated that they kept making the prosecutor look like a bad guy, considering he was doing _Cecille’s job_. I think they would’ve had a stronger episode if he had been introduced in the past as some “anti-Flash, vigilantes are dangerous” kinda guy to put a roadblock in. ---

No, because it’s Dominic (and Flash) it will be “Feel, Dominic, Feel!” But, yeah. ---

First time I’ve seen Corinne Bohrer in many years. She did a great job reprising her role as Zoey Clark / Prank. I like the way the series does that. It was finally a fun episode again. ---

Barry-in-Prison is turning out to be more fun than expected. I liked this one. People who watch Legends of Tomorrow will note the reappearance of Beebo (the toy). Is the woman who bought Dibny and Cisco the coffee the usher at Barry’s wedding, who is possibly Barry’s descendant from the future? ---

I’m not sure it was the same woman but you could well be right. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > The Beebos appearance was great. I’m not sure it was the same woman but you could well be right. Judging from what I’ve found on the Internet it’s the same actress - and note that she’s taking notes in the same kind of symbols that Barry wrote after he got out of the Speed Force. ---

The Pranksters are true monsters, destroying the image of our Lord and Savior Beebo. And Killer Frost destroyed three! A fun episode, showcasing more of Ralph’s character growth. Also, he gets a new and improved costume. Now if Cisco can make a costume that shrinks down to a pill case, surely he can make a Flash costume fit into a ring? With Barry in prison, we’ve gotten most of the things that Barry saw the first time he ran through the speedforce. Can the Flash Museum be next? The woman at CC Jitters who paid for the coffee is definitely the same woman who talked to Barry at the wedding. Who she is is still up in the air, but odds are she’s Barry and Iris’s future daughter. ---

I liked Barry vibrating his hand through the glass barrier so that he and Iris could clap hands. And Ralph finally gets a superhero name, although he doesn’t seem to like it any better than Plastic Man or Stretchy Guy.
