Plot Summary:
A scientist invents a machine that can instantly put people to sleep and his evil cousin uses him and the machine to pull off crimes like bank robberies. In the meantime, Barry Allen (aka the Flash) get blamed for the crimes due to circumstantial evidence and an overeager Internal Affairs investigator. Unfortunately, one of the side-effects of the sleep machine is that if left on too long it kills the people who are asleep, and the whole city is in jeopardy. This is good episode, further proof that if ones like this had come early in the season or the show's schedule hadn't been so messed up there probably would have been at least 5 seasons of "The Flash". One goof in this episode though: The police recognize the identities of the two cousins in a bank robbery and hold it against Barry Allen as proof he was somehow involved. However, during the bank robbery scene, both cousins keep masks on the whole time and would be unrecognizable. Maybe they took them off and the TV show just didn't show it? Oops.
