The rise of Dr. Bloodwork was the best part of the episode. Sendhill Ramamurthy's performance was outstanding! Bloodwork is a really good villain, and I'm glad they decided to go with him. His hospital rampage was a great scene, and I'm loving the semi darker tone they are taking this season.
Barry and Cisco teaming up with Nash Wells was a good story line as well. I am really glad that Barry chose Cisco to replace him once he dies in the Crisis. Barry and Cisco's heart to heart was a very touching scene as well, great acting from Grant and Carlos.
As to what Nash Wells wants the device for is a huge mystery, and I love it. I wonder which Monitor he saw in his hologram, and if he is evil or not. For some reason, I do not know why, I really have a feeling that this new Wells is Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash, just a feeling though. Tom Cavangah's performance was outstanding, and he shows why he is the best actor on this show.
Barry and Joe's heart to heart at the end of the episode nearly made me cry. Jesse L. Martin is a very central part of the show, and tonight's episode proved me right. I have watched this show since episode 1, and Jesse L. Martin and Grant Gustin's acting between the two of them was no doubt there best.
Ralph's story line was solid, but somewhat unnecessary. Hartley Sawyer's performance was the best thing about it. How his friendship with Barry has grown since his first episode has been great, and the fact that Ralph sees Barry as a brother, just makes it sadder that Flash will die.
Overall, despite a somewhat unnecessary, but overall solid, Ralph story line, tonight's episode of the Flash delivered on the creepy and darker tone, showing why Bloodwork is a feared villain, plenty of heart, lots of intrigue, and strong performances from Sendhill Ramamurthy, Grant Gustin, Jesse L. Martin, Carlos Valdes, and Tom Cavanagh, to produce another great episode to this season.
Out of a 10 I would give it...
9.1 out of 10
