Its a fun and energetic opening scene that gets the episode off on the right foot.
A couple of murders around Central City call Barry away from his training sessions with Wally.

Revealing a new side to Iris in this manner adds some much needed shading to the character.
Its very sweet seeing Joe in love and thinking about long term plans with his new girlfriend.
Unfortunately, Clive shows up at Jitters looking for Joe and ruins the family fun time.
Wally wades into battle to fight him but quickly realizes he cant touch Clive without turning into a corpse.
From the sidelines, Barry tells him to use his tornado arms, which works.
Labs because he wants to check on Cecile.
Joe feels especially betrayed by Barry since Barry knows just how much Iris means to him.
Honestly, I just wanted to jump through the screen and give Joe a hug.
Obviously, the situation only continues to escalate from here.
After failing to kill Joe, Clive sets his sights on Iris and attacks her.
Unfortunately, Wally isnt fast enough to stop him from touching her.
Once he gets Iris back to S.T.A.R.
Although shes scare shell lose control, Caitlin agrees to user her powers to keep Iris arm frozen.
Realizing he was in the wrong, Barry goes to find Wally and apologizes for lashing out at him.
Laura Stone, who is a private investigator in this universe, is the next victim.
At that moment, an alarm goes off.
The decay has started spreading up Iris armandCaitlin is starting to lose control and turn into Killer Frost.
(Enjoying this scene meant ignoring the fact that I still dont quite understandhowCaitlins powers turn her evil.)
Clive uses his powers to destroy a structure of some sort that causes debris to fall on the tracks.
Obviously it works, because science!
says H.R., watching it happen back in the lab.
Holy Kardashian is my new Sweet Christmas.
Sorry, Luke Cage.)
Barry tells him he needs to inject Clive with his blood to by phasing through him.
Inspired by Barrys recent first, Wally succeeds and neutralizes Clive.
But their recent brush with death rid her of those worries.
They may have defeated Clive, but Team Flash has a far bigger challenge ahead literally.
A frantic Jessie Quick runs over to our Earth to inform Wally that Grodd has kidnapped her father.
Gorilla City, here we come!
Overall, I thought this was particularly strong episode.
Im starting to look forward to the rest of the season.
