October 22, 2019 6:42 PM - Season 6, Episode 3

Barry prepares a member of Team Flash for life without him while hunting a terrifying meta-human with an unquenchable thirst; Ralph uncovers a family secret.

Den of Geek:
*Recap - The Flash continues to race towards Crisis on Infinite Earths, while the villainous Bloodwork continues to evolve.
*What is Eternium and Who is the New Harrison Wells? - Harrison Wells returns to The Flash looking for Eternium, which may confirm Shazam in the Arrowverse.

*TV Line - This week on The Flash, Barry told the rest of the team the truth — in pieces — about the coming Crisis, while also having his first face-off with this fall’s Big Bad.

*TV Fanatic - Well, well, well, if it isn't a new Wells.

Barry telling Frost, a la Morpheus to Neo, to “Stop trying to hit me and hit me” was a bit weird—I don’t expect no-look pop culture references from his character. Either it says a lot about his hopes for Frost stepping up after he vanishes in the Crisis, or (more likely) it’s just the writers stealing a good line.

I like where they’ve gotten Ralph to in this episode... it’s been a long arc for him, but I found him completely, genuinely, well-roundedly likable in a way I never would’ve guessed possible a few seasons back.

Why does Ralph's mom appear to be his age? Why isn't she like, his sister or something? TOO WEIRD.

I did enjoy Frost's birthday party.

Indiana Wells then, ooooookay, I guess. Could be worse.

Okay, I looked on IMDB: the actress could technically be his mother if she started young. But seriously, doesn't look like it.

HOW DID I NOT RECOGNIZE AMY PIETZ?
