The Flash: Girls Night Out (2017)
Season 4, Episode 5
7/10
An episode of The Flash without The Flash
8 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This weeks episode was unfortunately the worst of the season, with not much important happening. The episode focused around the Bucks and Hens night for Barry and Iris respectively.

The boys took a backseat in this episode with no Flash, no Vibe, no Elongated man, and no cop Joe! So honestly there isn't much to talk about here, besides Barry being drunk which was absolutely hilarious.

The girls take the spotlight this week with Cecile, Caitlin, and Felicity (how does Felicity get a gig in Iris' Hens Night but Oliver is not at Barry's Bucks????) joining Iris for celebrations. During their mellow night, the henchman we saw from episode one comes back for Caitlin who then turns into Killer Frost. I really enjoy Caitlin as Killer Frost, so was fun to see her back and the storyline involving Amunet Black was interesting. But it wasn't anything that would knock your socks off. It also seems that this episode has allowed for Caitlin to have some control over her powers. Will we see Frost line up with Flash and Vibe at some point this season? I hope so.

We get a Thinker tease at the end as he recaptures one of the bus metas that we met tonight, who I'm not gonna go into because it's next to pointless. My main issue with this week is that, after Barry realising that DeVoe is in town in last weeks episode, we got nothing towards Team Flash trying to track him down. This was the biggest type of filler episode a show could have. And just like Arrow is better when Oliver is under the hood, Flash is at its best when Barry is the Scarlet Speedster, and we got none of that tonight which was disappointing.

Killer Frost and drunk Barry make this episode watchable. But honestly not a Flash standard episode.

7/10
