This was yet another fun episode. It was great to see Barry help Big Sir and Team Flash tackling yet another villain by themselves.
The episode opens with Barry playing cards with Big Sir, former mayor Bellows and the guy who has tried to rob him twice in the past. Quite nice that they follow up on these characters even though they don't matter to the story. We get another slow mo scene with Barry cheating at cards to win pudding which is pretty funny as we know he needs to consume a lot of energy to be able to use his powers. We then learn that Big Sir got put in prison because he got framed for murder just like Barry was. Being the goodguy (when he's not cheating at cards) he is Barry decides to call Team Flash to find the real culprit. It is nice to see that Barry can still do good as ordinary Barry Allen.
For the members of Team Flash that aren't imprisoned this was a good week. I finally got to see more Harry-Cisco scenes and it was great fun. Actually it seems fun is something this season is doing pretty well. The meta of the week offered a lot of fun as he shrunk both Cisco and Ralph down to 5-6 centimeters. Seeing tiny Cisco struggle to make breaches and Ralph getting stepped on by Iris was hilarious. Harry got to be the hero of the week as he battled Dwarfstar.
Dwarfstar was a pretty interesting villain of the week as he simply used his powers to make things into toys for his collection. I thought it was an interesting concept as he could've easily collected tiny animals and put them in miniature nature that he shrunk down basically creating his own little universe.
In the end Big Sir doesn't get to go free as Dwarfstar doesn't confess and Barry whisks Big Sir away to China. Then the warden reveals he's shady which wasn't much of a surprise as he seemed mysterious the whole time.
All in all it was a great episode and I'm glad that Harry got to do more stuff. Next week's episode looks interesting as The Flash does Prison Break (shame Leonard Snart isn't here for it) but how will Barry escape without revealing to the other metas that he's the Flash? I hope DeVoe returns soon, surely he must be up to something.
