Okay, I was torn on whether or not to review this episode as Ralph doesn't appear. He gets a name drop and is said to be moving into S.T.A.R. Labs.
When a terrorist detonates a nuclear bomb in Central City, Barry (Grant Gustin) enlists the help of fellow speedsters Jessie Quick (Violet Beane) and Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp) to help him stop it. Most of the episode takes place in the nanoseconds before the blast can harm anyone as Barry and the other speedsters experience time at super speed. Barry can bring non-speedsters into "Flashtime" as he touches them, which allows for him to turn to other members of Team Flash (except Ralph, who admittedly, is probably not too knowledgeable about stopping a detonated nuke, even in his comics counterparts) for help.
Quite a different type of episode of The Flash this week, and will probably be one of the more memorable ones for being radically different from most other episodes, even creating a doomsday clock plot device and focusing mainly on the acting of Grant Gustin to carry the episode.
I'm generally easy going on The Flash as I just look to these shows to have an entertaining time, but honestly, this was a really good episode.
Ralph will be back next week in "Run, Iris, Run!"
