Slow and steady wins the race — & it also proves to be invaluable when stealing priceless artifacts. As long as slow & steady describe your metahuman powers, of course.

The latest threat to lớn Central city is actually one Cisco has been chasing since the heyday of the Reverse-Flash’s reign of terror, and only Barry’s been in the dark about this pet project. And while the 30-something Metahuman Not-a-Ninja Turtle presents the clear & present danger during “Potential Energy,” it is the looming threat of Zoom that has Barry truly worried. Unfortunately, his inner turmoil is outwardly affecting his relationships, particularly with Patty, while the Wests contend with drama of their own.


“Potential Energy” finds Barry và Patty in a good place — other than the flaming roses, of course — but their date goes awry when Zoom zips onto the scene, grabs Patty, và throws her off a roof.


It’s all just a dream, but it’s a recurring nightmare Barry fears will come lớn pass, that Zoom will find & kill the ones he loves. And more than that, Barry won’t be fast enough khổng lồ stop him.


Patty is certainly no ditz, & she knows something is consuming Barry’s thoughts, but it’s the particulars she’s fuzzy on. She even seeks Iris’ advice on how to crack the code that is Barry, the man who runs around with the weight of the world on his shoulders. She attempts to break through, & Barry admits that the holidays bring back the memories of his mother’s murder. Patty understands because for any non-human, that explanation would be more than enough lớn explain away the tossing & turning.


But there’s still the matter of Barry’s superhero identity hidden away, and Iris suggests lớn Barry it may finally be time lớn tell her. & in a nice piece of meta-dialogue, Iris admits how problematic it was to lớn keep her in the dark for so long last year.


So Barry decides now is the time to bring Patty into the fold, và what better time to vày so than in the midst of a metahuman trap. Team Flash is on the hunt for the Turtle, a meta Cisco has been tracking for months. The Moby Dick khổng lồ his Captain Ahab, the Turtle has the ability lớn slow down time around him, appearing lượt thích a blur khổng lồ those caught in his wake when he is in fact moving at a normal speed.


He steals expensive items not for their monetary value but for the personal weight they all carry, and while Barry thinks capturing a baddie with a nickname like “Turtle” will be a breeze, their first encounter is a slow-mo torture session. At CCPD, the Turtle freezes the scene, including the Flash, whose fast-moving particles allow him to at least somtmec.edu.vnhat move in the midst of the Turtle’s waves of slowdown mojo.


The team finds the next likely target for the Turtle at an art show, to lớn which Barry invites Patty along (after realizing the scheme interferes with their date plans). Cisco is on board for Barry revealing his secret to her, though Caitlin has her doubts, và Harry outright tells Barry lớn protect Patty & not involve her in this side of his life.

Barry initially moves forward with his plan, showing up dressed khổng lồ the nines with Caitlin và Jay at the art show. (Cisco và Harry, ever the enjoyably mismatched duo, are stuck on surveillance van duty, where Cisco learns just how Zoom got his name, putting Cisco in his place for mocking the moniker he didn’t invent.)


The night is smooth sailing at first — Patty appears & almost knocks Barry off his feet (she very well may have, và he just too quickly picked himself back up for any of us to notice), & the two begin khiêu vũ in a scene full of much more chemistry than whatever is happening between Bruce Wayne và Diana Prince in this photo.


As narrative fate, would have it, though, just as Barry is primed khổng lồ reveal his secret to lớn Patty, he spots the Turtle in action. Barry rushes off khổng lồ change from his penguin suit into his superhero one, reappearing on the scene just as Patty spots the Turtle stealing a painting. She draws her gun, but the Turtle uses his powers to lớn disarm her & possibly seal her fate.


He almost kills Patty by shooting down the chandelier above her head as Barry pushes through the Turtle’s force to lớn save Patty. He knocks her out of the way only to lớn be hit by the falling light fixture himself, but that fast-healing toàn thân of his has him back in action in no time.


Of course, his superheroics make Barry look like a terrible boyfriend, leaving his girlfriend in mortal peril with not so much as a follow-up “u ok” text. Barry stops by her apartment hoping to make things right, but Patty is genuinely (and rightly) upset with him. She’s had fun, but she wants more, và she needs Barry to lớn figure out what he wants if this relationship is going khổng lồ have legs.


Barry chooses not khổng lồ reveal his secret here, leaving Patty alone while he regroups. But she’s paid a visit by an unexpected guest, as the Turtle comes to kidnap her & bring her back to lớn his museum of stolen memories.


He believes she’s what the Flash cares about most, and so he’ll make her a living monument just as the Turtle did khổng lồ his wife when she threatened lớn leave him. He’s even got a glass display case ready to go for Patty.


Barry returns khổng lồ Patty’s apartment lớn find a ftmec.edu.vn bullets on the ground and Patty nowhere in sight. Thanks lớn a little brainstorm back at S.T.A.R. Labs, the group finds the Turtle’s presumed hideout. Barry, foregoing some of the resolutions this season that have tried lớn cram in scientific explanations, decides to wing it. (For the sake of not making this a physics class, I’ll refrain from touching all of the discussion of potential và kinetic energy.) He rushes khổng lồ save Patty and fights his way in between blasts of the Turtle’s time-slowing energy with a little momentum, knocking this latest meta out và saving Patty once again.


“Thank you, whoever you are,” Patty says as she hugs the Flash, and Barry once again bites back the truth. Unfortunately, Barry may never know if telling Patty would have strengthened or hurt their relationship as she’s planning to lớn return to lớn school in Midway City. It’s time for her khổng lồ move on now that she’s found her father’s killer, not just from her current job but from everything in Central. (Hopefully this is not the over of Patty’s presence on the show forever because it would be a shame to thua the chemistry between Grant Gustin and Shantel VanSanten.)


And while Patty is leaving Central, Wally West looks to lớn be sticking around, despite the fraught beginnings of his time in town. The Wests invite Wally over for dinner, only for him to lớn bail on Joe’s attempts khổng lồ be the father he never was khổng lồ his ntmec.edu.vnfound son. Joe had Barry khổng lồ raise, but Wally being his biological son means something different to him (and the more excuses to give Jesse L. Martin great emotional material to lớn work with, the better).


Wally is less enthusiastic about slipping into a father-son relationship with Joe, though. He’s in town street racing (in a sequence that is oddly reminiscent of last year’s better-forgotten Fantastic Four), but lượt thích Dominic Toretto, he’s a racer with good intentions. His winnings go toward paying his mother’s hospital bills. He doesn’t want help from a man who he is still angry at for never being part of his life.


Joe is finally able khổng lồ make a little headway, though, apologizing to lớn Wally for trying to force family on the boy. (Iris will likely also have more to work out with her brother in the weeks to lớn come; her priorities this week are less about her family & more about being a supportive and sensible friend to lớn Barry và Patty.) He’s willing to take things more slowly than he may have wanted if that means keeping Wally around. For now, it works, but how will Joe’s biological son contend with his adopted one when Wally và Barry finally meet?


Although smaller aspects of the episode, some Earth-2 seeds were sown as Harry, willing to vày anything lớn save his daughter, prepares for an eventual showdown with Zoom. He seemingly sucks the Turtle’s meta-abilities from his body (and possibly kills him in the process), which could be used, as Cisco suggested, lớn slow Zoom down rather than focus on Harry’s other plan of action — making Barry faster.


Zoom’s fate is also tied to lớn Jay’s as well. Caitlin discovers Jay is sick, & there’s no cure science can create. Instead, they need to lớn retrieve his tốc độ force from Zoom và restore him lớn his former flashy glory; otherwise, Jay is not long for this, or his, world.

Before Barry can tackle Zoom, though, it looks like the one foe he thought had been defeated, Reverse-Flash, a.k.a. Professor Thawne, is back. We’re confused about where he is, but he’s most certainly back, though to what kết thúc remains a mystery for now.
