The penultimate episode of the Flash entitled "Pay the Piper" was mostly filler and included various pep talks between characters. The long awaited return of Godspeed turned out to be a tad disappointing, as he did not appear as much as I imagined. The rest of the episode was quite solid. I loved the various pep talks sprinkled throughout the episode. 6 seasons in, and the Flash is riding high with an over abundance of pep talks.
Godspeed made his return in this episode. The final battle where the Flash teams up with Hartley Rathaway to defeat Godspeed was amazing. It would have been better if we got a bigger tease of what's to come regarding the Godspeed character and how he will pose an even bigger threat to Team Flash in season 7. Will he be the main villain for season 7?
Hartley Rathaway aka Pied Piper returned this episode. It was such a delight seeing this character again. This episode finally revealed why Hartley and the Flash are enemies. It turned out that the Flash put Hartley's boyfriend in a coma. Luckily, Team Flash figured out how to save him.
The moment between Ralph and Killer Frost was tremendously sweet and further proves how far their relationship evolved. It was quite evident that the writers were trying to hide Danielle Panabaker's pregnancy belly in this episode. Killer Frost was rather inactive this episode, as she is still recuperating from the events that unfolded. Kudos to the Flash writers for not letting Danielle Panabaker's pregnancy affect Caitlin/Killer Frost's storyline.
After Iris made the shocking discovery that Eva McCulloch has been manipulating and deceiving her, she set out to find a way to escape the Mirrorverse. But first she needed to find Kamila and Chief Singh. I doubt Iris will reunite with Barry in episode 19 (the new season finale), as she hasn't found Chief Singh and a way out of the Mirrorverse yet. Will Barry somehow enter the Mirrorverse and save Iris? Is this going to be the new season finale cliffhanger?
To conclude, this episode proved to be a solid penultimate episode. While not as groundbreaking and awesome as last week's episode, it still had an intriguing storyline. Even though, the return of Godspeed was a little underwhelming, he is still a good villain, but needs more character development. Hopefully, he will be more fleshed out in season 7. What organisation is Godspeed trying to serve?
Final verdict: 8.0/10
