The Flash has been steadily declining in quality after an incredibly fun first season. That's not to say it was or ever will be Breaking Bad, Person of Interest, or The Americans, but that doesn't mean its faults should be ignored. The 3rd season in its entirety has been plagued by problems that only appeared in the second half of Season 2; an overly glum tone, repetitive artificial drama, incredibly foolish out-of- character decision making, and Barry being the worst. It's almost as if the creative team doesn't recognize The Flash is at its best when it's light on its feet, just like the protagonist. "Duet" does just that, giving an episode overflowing with humor, charm, and excitement. Barry isn't terrible here! There should be more Flash episodes like this.
