Tuesday’s episode of The Flash introduced us to the Pied Piper, aka Hartley Rathaway, who is a genius and once worked with Harrison Wells. Due to a falling out in regards to the particle accelerator, they stopped working together and now Hartley is back for revenge.
This time, he has gloves on his hands that allow him to manipulate sound waves in order to cause devastating blasts. This makes things difficult for Barry, as the Pied Piper seems to be doing everything he can to get caught when he may have something sinister in mind.
Meanwhile, Rathaway threatens to expose Harrison’s secret to Cisco, Caitlin, and the Flash. Of course, there are plenty of secrets we know he is keeping from the team, so it is a surprise when he does admit to one truth (and no, it is not that he is Reverse Flash or that he can walk.)
Iris also has her hands full in this episode, as she gets a job at a newspaper facility, but it only seems like they want her because of her connection to the Flash. And Eddie and Joe are getting rather suspicious of our Doctor Wells.
“The Sound and The Fury” was yet another spectacular episode with incredible moments that made us wonder just what would happen next. Here’s a look at the top ten moments from this episode of The Flash.

Suspicious?
Eddie and Joe are at Harrison’s home after a vandalism and they are both surprised that even though there are broken glass pieces all over the room due to the windows breaking above him, he didn’t get hurt.

9. First flashback
In the first flashback sequence showing Harrison Wells’ past with Hartley Rathaway, we see Cisco’s arrival to work for Wells. Hartley wasn’t excited about Cisco’s arrival and Wells assures him that he is still the main guy on the team. We get to see what their relationship is like, as well as why Cisco calls him a “D**k” in the present.

8. The chosen one
Cisco, Harrison, and Caitlin tell Barry and Joe about Rathaway, and how he had practically been “the chosen one” for Harrison. Cisco talks about the guy being a huge jerk and that he had been disowned by his family after coming out. There appears to be bad blood as Cisco says he would have been happy not to hear his name again.

7. Iris’ new job
Iris gets a job opportunity to be a reporter for the local paper. However, she runs into issues when her new co-workers don’t pay much attention to her and then when she offers her own idea for a story, her boss only wants updates on the Flash.

6. His secret
Flash goes to stop Rathaway when he begins targeting his family’s company. He is able to stop Rathaway after some time, but then Rathaway stuns him as he is able to detect the soundwaves radiating from his suit and knows Caitlin, Cisco, and Harrison are listening. Rathaway alludes to Harrison’s sectet as everyone looks confused.

5. One truth
While we know Harrison has more secrets than he is actually telling our beloved heroes, he does end up telling them that Hartley had warned him there was a chance the particle accelerator could explode and he ignored it in favor of the work they could accomplish. Cisco, Barry, and Caitlin are obviously, and understandably, upset by this, and Barry says Harrison lost their trust.

4. Believing in me
Iris and Barry meet up where she tells him about her job. He assures her she is a talented journalist and figures that her co-worker isn’t that good if he can’t see it. Iris is happy that Barry believes in her so much.

3. Press conference
In order to pay for his crimes, as Hartley seems set on Harrison doing, Wells holds a press conference where he admits to knowing that there was a chance the particle accelator could explode. He is asked by Iris’ co-worker if he will rebuild it, but he ignores the question in favor of focusing on Iris. Instead, Iris goes ahead and asks the same question.

2. Checkmate
The Flash and the Pied Piper meet on a dam where Hartley has already sent cars hurtling below as Flash saved the people in the cars. Meanwhile, Cisco realizes Hartley stole information on Barry’s moleculars, which would allow Hartley to channel his frequency and defeat him. In order to save him, Harrison taps into the Sirius radio stations in the cars to drown out the sound waves.

1. No replacing
Barry and Joe share a moment at the police station where Barry talks about how Joe probably had a tough time raising him because of how much he liked science, plus having to compete with his idols and his own father. Barry tells Joe that he could never be replaced. As the scene ends, we see Eddie and Joe talk about investigating Wells, who is trying to use the Tachyon advice to hold onto his speed as the Pied Piper tells Cisco where Ronnie is.
