"We need to up our game," he says.
Barry and Felicity take a walk and he reveals to her his abilities as The Flash by running to a building and taking a photo of her. Barry tells Felicity that he has his own team so he takes her to STAR Labs to introduce her to everyone. When Barry tells the crew that she works with the Arrow, they visibly relax and decide to trust her.
Meanwhile, Snart comes across a stolen weapon from STAR Labs. Later he starts targeting people in a theater, and The Flash gets to save all but one of them, who is frozen solid from the gun's rays. Back at the lab, Cisco admits that he built the gun just in case they need to stop the Flash.
Barry takes off, and Felicity tells the team that they should always have Barry's back, no matter if they sometimes fight. In a brilliant move involving a fake cold gun, Cisco, Caitlin and Felicity manage to intimidate Snart to get him to leave Barry alone.
Felicity then heads back home. While she's on the train, Barry appears and they talk about how perfect they are for each other yet both of them pine after people they can't have. Barry tells her that if ever she needs him, he'll be there for her, and he kisses her.
In other news, "The Flash" will be going on hiatus this week and will be coming back on Nov. 11 for a brand new episode, titled "Plastique." Here is the official synopsis for episode 5:
"After a bomb goes off downtown, the army, led by General Eiling (guest star Clancy Brown) rolls in and takes over the case, much to Joe's surprise. Suspicious, Joe tells Barry that he and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs should look into the army's involvement. Wells informs the team that Eiling was experimenting on his men to turn them into super soldiers," the summary reads.
"Cisco confirms one of Eiling's soldiers, Bette Sans Souci (guest star Kelly Frye) was at the bomb site. The Flash tracks her down and realizes she's not setting off the bombs, she is a meta-human who can blow things up just by touching them. Meanwhile, when Joe learns that Iris is writing about 'the streak', he tells Barry to make her stop. Barry realizes that Iris won't listen to him so he decides to have the Flash pay her a visit," it continued.
"The Flash" airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
