They ask if the massive beast can even communicate, and Lyla says he's been very talkative lately. When Lyla asks what they want with him, Barry says they have a way to cure him. Barry tells her they want to talk to King Shark, who lived on Earth-2 until Zoom sent him here to kill the Flash. Team Flash travels to Star City, where they meet with Lyla Michaels of ARGUS. Barry pipes up and says he knows someone here on Earth-1 who fits that description.

Sherloque suggests testing it on a meta from another Earth, which doesn't make any sense, but whatever. The only problem is they need a test subject to see if it works, and it'll be tough to find someone willing to give up their powers forever. Suddenly King Shark appears, and the two behemoths begin battling one another.Īt STAR Labs, Cisco announces his ill-advised meta cure is finally finished. Gorilla Grodd stands over them, roaring as he prepares to strike. There's panic on the streets of London, er, Central City, as both the Flash and XS lie on the ground, completely paralyzed. Whatever the reason, it's obvious that something's going on with this cast, as there seems to be a limit as to how many can appear in any given episode. I wonder though if it's possible that Hartley Sawyer's a 'day player' - meaning he only gets paid when they call him in to star in an episode? It would explain quite a bit if that was the case. Now before someone 'actuallys' me, I know TV cast members are under contract, and get paid whether they're in an episode or not.

Speaking of absences, Ralph's AWOL yet again this week! I'm definitely starting to believe that The Flash has some kind of budgetary cap on the number of actors it can pay every week. So far the Cavanagh/Panabaker departures are just rumors, so take 'em with a grain of salt. At some point they'll all be killed or sacrifice themselves to save the day, paving the way for Cavanagh to leave the show. Many fans believe that when next season's big Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover event premieres, the various versions of Harrison Wells will team up to defeat The Monitor. The series definitely won't be the same without these three, as it'll have to be completely retooled. then they might as well tear down the STAR Labs sets, because there'll be no use for them ever again. There's been a version of Harrison Wells in each season of the show, and it just won't feel like The Flash without him.Īnd if Caitlin goes too. He's the best actor on the show, hands down, and has been since the series began. It will NOT survive without Cavanagh though. As sad as it'll be to see him go, I think the show can survive without him.

OK, Cisco's loss will deal a serious blow to the series, as he's the chief science nerd as well as the comic relief. AND it's been rumored that Danielle Panabaker, aka Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost could be on her way out too! As if that wasn't bad enough, now there are ominous rumblings that Tom Cavanagh, who plays all the various Wellseses on the show (and Eobard Thawne to boot) may be leaving too. The bad news? OK, last month I noted that Carlos Valdes, aka Cisco, was reportedly leaving the series at the end of this season.
