The Flash on Tuesday was amazing, terrifying, and thrilling all at the same time. In this episode, Barry comes up against Farooq Gabron, who is able to siphon electricity in order to feed off of Barry’s powers. Barry loses his speed and it causes issues as he can’t do the things he used to do. It causes him to really miss his speed since it had become such a part of him in a short amount of time.
Meanwhile, as Barry is dealing with Farooq, who is after Wells since he blames him for what happened to him and his friends (who died while attempting to revive him with CPR), Iris and Joe are taken hostage by a man named Tockman, who takes advantage of a power outage caused by Gabron.
Wells also continues to confuse the audience, who are left unsure whose side he is truly on, especially when he allows Tony Woodward to leave his cell in order to fight Farooq. This has consequences that leaves Barry confused and upset.
It is always hard coming up with just some of the incredible moments that occur in each episode, but “Power Outage” continues to bring laughter and energy to the audience. Here are some of our ten moments that either made us laugh or had our hearts pounding as we watched to see what would happen next for our superhero.

Barry is riding on his high in being able to use his speed to help people. When a robber attempts to take his wallet, Barry is a little more than amused and teases the robber before using his speed to remove his clothes and put a police officer down in front of him.

1. Wells
Doctor Wells once again has us questioning his loyalty and the last scene definitely has us curious when he goes to the body of Gabron and takes a sample to find out how he was able to steal Barry’s powers. What does he want this information for?
