I seem to be a minority but while this episode was far from perfect wasn't it cool that...

Iris was actually focusing on a reporting idea instead of trying to be the face of team flash...

Barry and Iris were arguing over a philisophical issue that makes sense between a superhero and a reporter on the public's right to know

Barry actually did pretty well with his powers for once, he dodged several attacks from 2 metahumans and only got incapacitated because of a venomous gas he wasn't expecting (though yes in hindsight he should have realized it was potentially going to happen) also incapacitated some armed guards before they could shoot, twice...

Barry cared about his secret identity while in star labs with a non team member, though it was still dumb to reveal himself after she said she recognised him, but tv gotta show off that face acting...

okay I'll admit this stuff shouldn't be grand praise, it should be the standard, but it's a step in the right direction

and yes i agre iris's logic was flawed, and barry should have called her out on it, also the leads from civilians on the internet would in most cases be useless irl so the show logic is equally bad

as for the other side plots... predictable but interesting, but wells being so formulaic with his "harry's side story of the week" thing is getting old...
