In this episode of The Flash, Joe is stunned to find out that the bombinb case he has been working on is being taken over by the Army, namely General Eiling. The bombing suspect is actually a meta-human named Bette Sans Souci, who was a bombs specialist for the army.
She is a human bomb and can transform anything she touches into a bomb. Unlike past meta-humans, she isn’t evil by choice and the team is unable to come up with a way to help her due to her cellular structure being combined with the shrapnel in her body.
Meanwhile, Barry tries to convince Iris to stop writing about the steak to no avail. He talks to her as the streak as well, but it doesn’t work. Because of the stress of not revealing his secret and their fight, he decides they need to stop being friends. It’s a painful process and we have to wonder how long it will be before she finds out the truth.
From Cisco’s reaction to Barry’s suit being destroyed, to Joe’s line regarding a new-meta human when he says “It must be Tuesday in Central City” and finally, to the past relationship between Harrison and the general, who worked together before Harrison got tired of his methods, there were amazing moments in this episode. Let’s take a look at the top ten moments from The Flash episode “Plastique.”
