Cisco (Carlos Valdes) is feeling depressed about his breakup with Gypsy last season, and he's unable to properly use his powers as Vibe. Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) gets Ralph to help him out of his funk, but Cisco believes that Caitlin might be using him as a way to ignore her own problems.
Vanessa Jansen (Erin Cummings) is a metahuman arms dealer able to create cages of pure energy that can shield herself, trap her enemies and send them flying, or make the cage smaller with them trapped inside. Finally, Iris (Candice Patton) investigates an attack on a prison transport vehicle and catches the first glimpse Team Flash has had of Cicada (Chris Klein).
There is a lot happening in this episode, and the show manages to not aim so high that it feels like they missed when they have to reserve elements for next week and the rest of the season. Next week looks like it's going to be a major episode.
Ralph continues to be a welcome addition to the humor and team dynamic, and this episode sees the return of his office from last season. (We last saw Barry packing it up.) He's yet to be shown using his powers this season, though.
Non-US viewers should check their local listings, the websites of the channels that air The Flash, and digital video retailers.
Ralph's discussion of the possibility of a "manyverse" was hysterical.
