With the Reverse Flash still one step a head of them Barry turns to Captain Cold for aid despite the warnings from the rest of the team however more help arrives in the form of Arrow and Firestorm.
I guess if Barry learns one thing from this it is not to trust your enemies lol. This has got to be the best Captain Cold episode on Flash because he proves to be way more cunning than everyone thought he would be. His little speech to Barry at the end was a nice touch at just humiliating him when he was down and him mentioning the Rogues makes me hopefully that we will see a complete Rogues Gallery in Season Two. It also did a great job at showing how desperate Barry was for turning to a villain for help despite the protests from everyone and I guess Barry had to learn the hard way that it never works out. Then there was the return of Lisa and I really like the chemistry between her and Cisco and I actually would really like a romantic subplot between them in the future because it could work (Cisco's actor even said he would like a love interest). Of course one of the biggest highlights of the episode was the return of the Meta Humans and it was just awesome seeing them all in action again; The Mist and Peek - A - Boo especially because The Mist actually got to fight The Flash and Peek - A - Boo really kicked ass at the beginning, would have liked to have seen this side of her in her first appearance. It was great seeing the others as well like Weather Wizard, Rainbow Raider who infected Caitlin and Deathbolt and it is a damn shame that he died. Deathbolt was a kickass villain, played by a great actor and the only Meta Human possibly born with his powers, now that he is gone where is that little subplot going to go? Also I really like the dilemma that Joe had because I never knew he was so against imprisoning the Meta Humans and really thought they would get help. I kind of have to agree with him that maybe Team Flash has been handling it the wrong way so far and it is weird they didn't bring this up sooner because it is an interesting point.
As for everything else I guess Eddie is feeling some bitterness towards Barry because of the things he has learned and it surprised my me he told Iris straight up that she is meant to be with Barry. I do really feel sorry for the guy because he is probably the only good Thawne in his family and I guess he just couldn't take being in the middle of Barry and Iris anymore, wonder if this will lead him to take a more villainous role? However the second biggest highlight of the episode was the specular fight between the Flash, Arrow, Firestorm vs. Reverse Flash! First off it was cool how Eobard actually used the Flash Ring the way it was meant to in the comics and I like how they slowed down the suit popping out of it so we can notice it properly. The whole fight it self was just great with the two speedsters fighting across STAR labs, Arrow using close combats on him (nice nod to Ray's nano tech) and Firestorm flying about and using his fire. Now I doubt Eobard will sit idly by in jail because he always has a few cards up his sleeve but since this felt like the finale fight I am curious how the final episode is going to go. Finally I just want to say there was a massive Green Lantern reference in this, they have just got to bring him on soon!
Overall a great episode that is really only let down by the death of the awesome Deathbolt.
SCORE: 8/10
Highlights: Return of the Meta Humans
Captain Cold tricks everyone/ Lisa and Cisco moments
Joe's feelings towards the prison/Eddie moments
Let - Downs: Death of Deathbolt
