Top 10 moments from 'The Flash' episode 'The Trap'

This episode of The Flash found Barry, Cisco, Joe, and Caitlin setting up a trap in order to trap Dr. Wells and to hopefully get a confession for Nora Allen’s murder. Caitlin comes up with a way for Cisco to remember what happened in the timeline that Barry erased when he traveled in time. Barry must wrestle with what he discovers as he tries to deal with everything that is being thrown at him.

Meanwhile, Eddie plans on proposing to Iris, but is impeded when Joe denies permission. Barry finds out about the plans and he is conflicted, especially since he finds out something critical about the future. But at the same time, he wonders why Joe doesn’t want to give Eddie the chance to marry his daughter.

We also get flashbacks detailing what happened during Barry’s coma and how he came to be involved in S.T.A.R. Labs. And Iris may no longer be stuck in the dark on just who Barry is. So much happened in this episode and it’s hard to believe we’re getting close to the finale. Until next week when we finally get our look at Grodd, take a look at the top moments from “The Trap.”

10. Eddie’s proposal

One of the first scenes of the episode showed Eddie asking Joe permission to marry Iris. At first, it is unclear if he is doing this just to be able to tell her everything he has been hiding, but it appears he genuinely wants to marry her. However, Joe says no for reasons that we don’t know until later when Eddie gets Barry involved.

9. Barry’s horrible idea

When Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin discover the room that Wells uses to talk to Gideon, they are stunned to see a future newspaper article written by Iris West-Allen. As if Barry isn’t already confused, they also meet Gideon. This is a lot for them to handle and they go home to digest the information with Joe. It is there Barry tells them that he traveled back in time once before and he thinks he may have actually prevented Cisco’s murder by doing so. He gets an idea that they need to get to those memories in order to hopefully trap Wells.

8. Flashback

A flashback shows Joe and Iris with a comatose Barry, who is not getting any better under the care if doctors. Joe meets Dr. Wells, who tells him that he can save Barry. Despite Joe’s misgivings, he relents, which Joe later admits that he has come to regret since he feels like he put his son in danger.

7. Lucid dream therapy

Caitlin invents a way for Cisco to go back and experience the night Wells killed him by wearing a pair of sunglasses that can help put him in lucid dream therapy. Of course they do this all at work, so they almost get caught by Wells. But Joe, Cisco, Barry, and Caitlin go back to Barry’s and Cisco remembers everything. He tells them about Wells killing Nora, but wanting to kill Barry, and that his real name is Eobard Thawne.

6. Hyphenating

When Eddie goes to Barry to ask him to talk to Joe about the proposal, Barry is understandably nervous and unsure. He knows in the future, it is he who is apparently going to marry Iris, but can’t exactly say anything. Later, Barry goes to see Joe to ask why he said no. Joe admits it’s because he knows Iris really loves Barry and he doesn’t want her marrying the wrong man since she’ll never leave him if she agrees to marrying Eddie.

5. Fire

As if Barry doesn’t have enough to worry about, a fire sparks in the building where his boss’s fiancé works. Barry races to the scene, but due to everything he has learned, he is worried he can’t save the entire group of people. Wells works with him to get the courage to use his arms to put out the flames. Luckily, the captain and his fiancé reunite and everyone escapes unharmed.

4. Setting a trap

The team sets a trap and Cisco comes up with a way to prevent Wells from getting into the bunker where he had seen the hologram of Reverse-Flash. Barry decides to test it by trying to get into it. It works, meaning they just may be able to stop Wells.

3. Iris and Barry

Iris had called Barry to talk to him about her research into everything that happened with people having powers. She thinks it has to do with the night the particle accelerator exploded. However, in an effort to keep protecting her and also still feeling awkward knowing he marries her in the future, Barry tells her he doesn’t have powers but he will check out her work. We soon get flashbacks of Barry and Iris when he was in a coma. At one point, she tries to touch his hand, but a spark of blue lightning prevents her hand from getting close.

2. Go time

The team puts their trap in place and it appears to be working. Caitlin is watching on the camera while Joe and Barry hide. Cisco tries to get a confession out of Wells, but all he says is “I never meant to harm Nora.” Barry and Joe are concerned he is not confessing and then they see that the protection Cisco used is not working as Wells walks right through it. When Cisco is in danger, Joe goes to shoot him while Barry tries to get to Wells. When Wells is shot, Barry is distraught because they did not get a confession. But all is not what it seems when they realize Wells actually let out “Everyman” and is still on the loose.

1. Finding out

Barry realizes that Wells has been watching their every move and was always one step ahead of them. He sees Iris is in danger and goes to save her. As this is happening, Reverse-Flash interrupts Eddie’s marriage proposal while Barry runs to get to Iris in Flash gear. Reverse-Flash takes Eddie somewhere and reveals his family connection to him, even though we don’t know if Eddie is his father or grandfather or whatever. And before Flash rushes to find the other speedster, he tells Iris to go home and as their hands part, Iris sees a spark of blue, making her say Barry’s name in shock.
