"Becky, this isn't some higher power fixing a miscalculation. You have powers. And they're affecting everyone around you, making them feel as awful as you used to feel."
"I'm sorry about that. But, maybe it's just their turn. Maybe for once, everyone else can feel for a second how bad I felt my entire life."
—Barry Allen and Becky Sharpe

"Luck Be a Lady" is the third episode of the fourth season of The Flash, and the seventy-second episode overall. It aired on October 24, 2017.

Synopsis

Barry and the team are hit by a string of bad luck and realize it is the handiwork of a new meta, Becky nicknamed Hazard, who has the ability to give others bad luck, while cashing in the benefits for herself. Meanwhile, Harry Wells returns to Earth-1 to give Wally a message from Jesse.[src]

Plot

In flashbacks, the Thinker observes Becky Sharpe, a woman with seemingly unending bad luck, and determines that she will be easily manipulated. In the present, Becky robs a bank, and gets away when Barry slips on marbles. 

Harry arrives from Earth-2, and tells Wally that Jesse has decided to break up, (through the use of an atlantean breakup cube) in order to focus on her vigilantism.

Cisco deduces that Becky is a metahuman with the power of favorable luck while inducing misfortune to others. Barry realizes that the portal he used to escape the Speed Force exposed an entire busload of people, including Becky and Deacon, to transformative dark matter.

Harry informs Cisco that Jesse has expelled him from her crime-fighting team due to his attitude. Becky's powers expand out of control, reactivating the particle accelerator, which Harry deliberately allows, nullifying Becky's powers and leading to her incarceration.

Cisco and Harry identify twelve new metahumans created on the bus, and the latter suspects that an unknown party has manipulated events surrounding Barry's return.

Wally decides to leave on a journey to find himself following his breakup with Jesse.

The Thinker is revealed to be one step ahead of Team Flash as it is shown that he has been spying on S.T.A.R. Labs through the "Samuroid" helmet.

Back at the West house, Cecile reveals to Joe that she's pregnant.
