The Flash: Grodd Friended Me (2020)
Season 6, Episode 13
10/10
The Flash and Gorilla Grodd team up!
26 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The thirteenth episode of the sixth season titled "Grodd befriended me", which is an obvious reference to the television series "God friended me" starring Violet Beane who portrayed Jesse Quick, is an action packed and high budget episode. Grodd's return in this episode was smartly done. I really thought that Grodd will betray the Flash, but they actually teamed up in the best possible way. Gorilla Grodd harnessing the Flash's speed and Barry telling him to "Run, Grodd, Run" was purely awesome.

I loved the opening scene of the episode showcasing Barry still adjusting to this post-Crisis world. Him not being able to find his parents graves pulled on my heartstrings a little. At the end, Chester P. Runk located his parents graves and this was quite a relieving and happy moment. Chester P. Runk is a worthy member of Team Flash and hope he appears more often. Will he be replacing Cisco as the tech genius of Star Labs? Also, psyched to see Cisco returning in episode 14 and presenting his findings.

The Nash Wells and Allegra sub-plot was quite interesting. Allegra finally found out that Nash Wells is hiding the fact that he knows her Doppelgänger. The post credits scene alludes that Reverse Flash will be making an appearance in episode 14 or in a future season 6 episode. These past versions of Harrison Wells perhaps served as a warning for Nash Wells that Reverse Flash is returning and an unlikely calamity will happen.

The Iris West and Ewa McCulloch aka Mirror Master storyline got some interesting exposure in this episode. The episode revealed that Ewa McCulloch uses Iris's body to dig up information about Joseph Carver. When is Barry going to realize that his Iris is trapped inside a mirror? This storyline got far more interesting and I am enthused to see what will happen next.

To conclude, the Flash delivers one of its best episodes of the season and possibly the series this week and has no intention of slowing down, as episode 14 will feature Wally West aka Kid Flash. I loved how this episode mentioned post-Crisis changes and Barry being in Grodd's subconscious was smartly done. This is just a fun and entertaining episode with amazing special effects.
