The Flash 4x14 : Subject 9 review
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it
The Flash returns from it's 3 week break with another enjoyable entry into what has been an interesting season to say the least. The episode begins as Barry makes his way back into CCPD only for Captain Singh to tell him that he has been asked to take a leave of absence with immediate effect as some people don't believe that Clifford Devoe is actually alive and well. So Barry leaves his position in CCPD. Back at Star Labs and the team talk about the remaining 4 meta's only for Ralph to find a CD with the name Izzy Bowan on it. Cisco uses his powers and locates Izzy playing songs from her forthcoming album at a country western bar. So Barry and Ralph go to talk with her but as expected things don't go according to plan and Devoe who is still in Hazard's body shows up only to actually be weakened by Izzy Bowan's powers. It's learned that she as the power to control soundwaves and manipulate it through her music and fiddle. This leads to her being called The Fiddler later in the episode by Devoe. Her character is actually really likable to the point where Ralph even begins to develop some sort of connection and feelings towards her.
Onto Harry Wells now and this is the episode where he actually creates the device to stop Devoe that Savitar mentioned in the season 3 finale. Barry and Irir's face when Harry tells the team about it in the medical bay was a really good and they all finally get a glimmer of hope in stopping Devoe. So it's off to try and attach the device to Devoe's head to manipulate his mind and eventually stop him. But of course things don't go as planned and the device is somehow hacked by Devoe using Kilgor's powers even though Harry said it can't be hacked. This causes Barry and Ralph to be temporarily defeated leading Devoe to once again transfer his mind into Izzy's and become her. Ralph's reaction is that of genuine defeat and he leaves to go to his PI office.
The episode actually ends in the PI office as Barry and Ralph have a talk and come to the agreement that they have to stop Devoe once and for all. Ralph even offers Barry a job in becoming his very own Private Investigator while on absent leave from CCPD which was nice. The friendship they share is really getting good and I'm liking it. This was a fun episode for sure but nowhere near the best this season. With that being said it is really good to have Team Flash back once again. Hang in there Ralph I'm sure you'll get the girl someday!
