After more than a year without any Godspeed material, season 7 finally turns the focus on him. The fifteenth episode of the seventh season titled "Enemy at the Gates" felt refreshing after three consecutive filler episodes (aka the interlude). While it was not the best episode of the season, it still stands out and sets up the Godspeed arc. It seems like the multiple Godspeed clones are trying to fight for the ultimate throne. Who is controlling them, though? How long will graphic novel 4 last?
The Allegra and Esperanza aka Ultraviolet subplot was the weakest part of the episode. Considering l was one of the few people who actually enjoyed the Allegra centric episode, this week's subplot felt unnecessary and poorly placed. It would have fitted more in episode 14.
The Mark Blaine and Frost subplot was probably one of the best parts (apart from the Godspeed scenes) of the episode. I love Mark's overzealous attitude and his charisma. He should really become a temporary member of Team Flash. Frost and Mark's witty back and forth banter always cracks me up.
Allegra constantly referring to Chester as Chuck is a running gag this season. Some people don't get that this is intended as comedic relief. It should not be taken seriously.
Barry's attempt at hiding Iris's pregnancy turned out to be unsuccessful. I loved how he interacted with Cecile and Chester. Much to Barry's dismay, Chester eavesdropped on his conversation with Iris. I think the moment where Cecile asks Barry what's in the brown bag was improvised by Grant Gustin. Iris was absent for two episodes. It was not particularly noticeable because she was mentioned numerous times by Barry. It felt quite awkward and strange when he was talking to Iris in the loft and she did not answer back.
To conclude, the fourth graphic novel is off to to a terrific start. I'm enthused for the next three episodes and wonder how the Godspeed arc is going to be wrapped up in such a short time span.
Final verdict: 9.5/10.
