Sweet Episode! My favorite part is Iris confronting Barry about his being The Flash and despite being heartbroken by his lies, talking him through so that he could overcome and outsmart Grodd and rescue Joe. I was only slightly surprised that the supersonic punch failed, though. I felt that Barry should have gotten a bit further away for it to truly work. But then again, neither him nor his team knew how physically powerful Grodd was. Barry possibly teaming up with Wade Eiling to bring down Wells just in case he, Oliver (who is totally NOT brainwashed), and Firestorm fail is an interesting idea. Allied Adversaries with a common enemy. Not exactly original, but still interesting given the circumstances. As for Eobard and Eddie's interactions, well...I know Eddie is a nice guy (in addition to highly arrogant) and maybe I'm being cold and petty, but I kind of enjoyed Eobard ripping on him for being "a waste of a life" and "a waste of a man" compared to all of his other ancestors. I also rather enjoyed Eobard rather mercilessly tell Eddie to his face that Iris is the destined lover of Barry instead of himself. I know I'm being a bit of a jerk by being outward like this, but I guess it's because I like the "soulmate" angle for likeable heroes and the hints that come with it. Still, can't wait for that sweet-looking action-packed thrill ride that is next week's episode! Oh, how the wait causes me distress!
