TV Review: "Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash"

This week, Cecile (Danielle Nicolet) gains telepathic abilities during her pregnancy with Joe's (Jesse L. Martin) baby. Meanwhile, Barry (Grant Gustin) discovers that fellow prisoner Big Sir (Bill Goldberg) is actually innocent of the charge he was imprisoned on and tasks the team at STAR Labs to try to apprehend the actual criminal, despite Big Sir asking him not to.
While tracking a vanishing building, Joe, Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Ralph discover the home of a man who turns out to be a metahuman who can shrink anything. When Joe connects him to a crime, he lashes out, shrinking Ralph and Cisco in the process. However, when Harry (Tom Cavanaugh) tries to use a dwarf star alloy cannon to reverse the shrinking, it begins destroying their cells, giving a ticking doomsday clock before Team Flash is down two members.
This episode continues Season 4's run of giving us a rollicking good time with our superheroes. While fans of episodes where the truly crazy happens will love it, this is more likely one of the episodes taking some time before we get the next major development in the main storyline of the season. One nitpick was that after hearing the impending fate of Ralph and Cisco, Iris is suddenly seen having a nice cup of tea with Cecile. Perhaps not a flaw, but a little strange that she's not thinking about how two people she works with and knows pretty well are about to die.

Otherwise, looking forward to next week, which the press release promises will have another development for Ralph's story arc.

Viewers in the US may view "Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash" at no charge during a limited availability window on the CW website and app. With the current licensing agreement, the entire fourth season of The Flash will be available on Netflix in June, 2018. Digital versions of the episode may be purchased on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, Google Play and other retailers of digital video content. Blu-Ray and DVD copies of the season are expected to be available for sale in or by September, 2018.

Non-US viewers should check their local listings, the websites of the channels that air The Flash, and digital video retailers.
