The Flash Season 2: 13 WTF Moments From 'Gorilla Warfare'

The Reverse-Flash is brought back to life, Gorilla Grodd returns, Cisco dates a superhero, and Joe West is a master soup-maker!

by Andrew Pollard
How do you follow last week€™s phenomenal Enter Zoom? It€™s a tricky order, but bringing back Gorilla Grodd is certainly a step in the right direction. With Gorilla Warfare, that was exactly what we were given as Grodd and his psionic powers resurfaced in Central City as the poor great ape was desperate to find himself some companionship. After all, there€™s really not that many other super intelligent, psionic gorillas out there to crack wise with. Of course, last week€™s brutal battle with Zoom took its toll on Barry, and here we see him largely confined to a wheelchair as he attempts to overcome the physical and mental torment caused by last week€™s bloody beating. Elsewhere we saw Caitlin factor in as part of Grodd€™s plan, whilst Cisco€™s love life took a turn for the better. Then there was Henry Allen, who conveniently turned up to give Barry a much-needed pep talk before speeding off once more. With the pressure on to maintain the high standards of Season 2 so far, Gorilla Warfare did a great job of delivering another good episode of The CW€™s The Flash €“ and one full of WTF moments.

13. Harrison Wells Wants Out

So with Barry Allen out of action and Zoom still on the loose, what our S.T.A.R. Labs crew really didn't need was for Harrison (or is it simply Harry nowadays?) Wells to decide that he€™s done with Earth-1 and is returning home to Earth-2. It was a surprise decision from Wells, and one that certainly had our S.T.A.R. crew saying WTF. As it€™s pointed out, Wells arrived in Earth-1 and seemingly brought a whole load of trouble with him, then now that things have turned sour he€™s just going to shoot off back to his own world? Yeah, thanks Harry. Calling him out on it, Caitlin flat out refuses to let him leave.
