Well, last week's The Flash saw Ralph return! With no explanation of where he'd been.
Well, the important thing is, he's there.
The previous episode saw a surprise as Cicada/Orlin Dwyer (Chris Klein) was convinced by Barry (Grant Gustin) to take the metahuman cure. Just after it was administered and took effect, however, S.T.A.R. Labs was attacked by another Cicada who abducted Orlin. In the closing moments this second Cicada revealed herself to be an adult Grace Gibbons (Sarah Carter).
In this episode, Team Flash is able to discover that this second Cicada is from the future, having used a stolen time sphere to travel back in time. They even deduce who she is and discover that she's specifically targeting the metahuman who accidentally killed her parents, even though that particular one is a wife and mother.
Meanwhile, Eobard Thawne (Tom Cavanagh) has advised Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) to tell Barry about their working together. However, Sherloque (Tom Cavanagh) is getting ready to tell Team Flash his own deductions.
As for Ralph? He's a little too catty around Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and his new girlfriend Kamilla (Victoria Park), openly talking about working with the team, and gets Kamilla in touch with Iris (Candice Patton) for some photography work. Cisco doesn't appreciate Ralph being this open and bringing his girlfriend into his superhero life. However, Ralph points out that if Cisco is keeping part of his life hidden from Kamilla, he's not sharing everything about him with her.
I thought that moment begins to nicely set Ralph up as the character we know from the comics. With this outlook, it would make sense for him to openly share his superhero life with his wife and maybe even stop having a secret identity.
The Flash will be on break until April 16. This episode left us on an exciting note, leaving us eagerly awaiting its return.
