Iris came face to blurry face with her hero on The Flash Season 1 Episode 5, while Barry Allen picked up a few new tricks from another metahuman he encountered.
Fans were treated to many scenes of Iris blogging about the “streak,” so much so that it earned her a visit from this masked superhero, with Barry vibrating his visage and vocal chords to keep his identity a secret.
There was definitely a Smallville vibe here, wasn’t there? At one point, Iris came across like Lois Lane meeting Superman, even losing her breath out of pure shock and awe.
But then a different kind of emotion took over:
Iris told the Streak that her interest in him was due to her pal Barry, who had always been trying to make sense of the “impossible.”
Iris hopes the Streak can help her close friend, to which Barry could only muster a “he’s a lucky guy” before sprinting away.
At the hour’s conclusion, Barry asked Lois to stop blogging, claiming he’s put his mom’s murder behind him. She said no. He said their friendship was on a break.
Are you ready to start shipping these two, viewers?
Elsewhere, Cisco totally crushed on Bette Sans Souci (aka “Plastique”) and made it clear just how protective he can be of those Flash suits.
As for Dr. Wells? He was faced with a former adversary in the form of Clancy Brown’s Army General Eiling.
We learned via flashback that Wells pulled the plug on S.T.A.R. Labs’ role in some kind of controversial gene therapy. He was specifically testing Grodd, a gorilla subject for whom he planned a “whole different future.”
Consider that seed well planted. And intriguing.
What did you think of the Iris/Barry scene? Of the fact that Barry can walk on water? On the use of Plastique this week and the teases of Grodd?
