History Recap / TheFlash2014S4E9DontRun

* ChekhovsGun: The single knife Barry and Iris recieved as a "Wedding Gift" anonymously was actually from the [=DeVoes=] and used to implicate Barry in Clifford's murder.

* WhamShot: Barry discovers [=DeVoe=]'s bloody corpse in his apartment, with the [[ChekhovsGun knife]] Barry and Iris recieved as a "Wedding Gift" on the floor nearby.

* ContinuityLockout: Barry and Iris are now married, on what was technically [[Recap/LegendsOfTomorrowS3E8CrisisOnEarthXPart4 an episode]] of ''Legends of Tomorrow''.

* IllBeInMyBunk: After seeing Gypsy's holographic stripogram, Cisco asks Joe if he could borrow a room upstairs [[ADateWithRosiePalms for a little while]]. Joe understandably tells him to watch it in his own house.

* NiceHat: Amunet makes her entrance causing havoc at Jitters and kidnaps Caitlin, all the while wearing a Santa hat.

* RealityEnsues:
** Iris did not think highly of Felicity hijacking her wedding with Barry to have her own with Oliver. As a result of the insensitivity, they put the Queens' wedding gift in the return pile.
** Killer Frost's acts of heroism in Series/CrisisOnEarthX earns her the respect and admiration of Central City and her fellow heroes, but being an entirely separate and autonomous personality means Caitlin is unable to claim credit for her accomplishments and consequentely starts to feel overshadowed by her alter ego.

* IllBeInMyBunk: After seeing Gypsy's holographic stripogram, Cisco asks Joe if [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar he could borrow a room upstairs]] [[ADateWithRosiePalms for a little while]]. Joe understandably tells him to watch it in his own house.

-->'''Barry''': ''(panting while bobbing up and down in the river)'' Good idea on the life raft, Cisco.

-->'''Amunet''': ''(taking a sip)'' That's actually quite good.

-->'''Iris''': ''(blankly)'': He stole them didn't he?\\
'''Barry''': Definitely stole them.

-->'''[=DeVoe=]''': The words are still mine, even if the voice isn't.

-->'''Dom''': ''(looking directly at Iris)'' You're gonna need someone to miss you when you're gone...

-->'''Iris''': Harry, I made a vow to protect and love Barry, how can I choose between my husband's life and my friend's?

-->'''[=DeVoe=]''': Now, I do have a restraining order against your son. Shall I add you to the list?\\
'''Joe''': If something happened to Barry, there ain't a restraining order on Earth that would keep me from getting you.

** Heatwave's wedding present to the West-Allens are '''40''' (most likely stolen, knowing Mick) toasters. There's a [[AndThatsTerrible notorious meme]] regarding another [[ComicBook/LexLuthor DC supervillain]] [[Literature/TheSuperdictionary stealing 40 pies]].

* TheUnreveal: Dominic meets up with Marlize and lets her know it is time to prepare for the Enlightenment. Whatever that is will have to be seen after the winter break.

* EvilGloating: [=DeVoe=] (as Dominic) calls up Barry to gloat over framing him with his old body. This seems a rather [[IdiotBall foolish choice for a smart guy]], since he gives away his new identity to Team Flash instead of possibly [[TheMole being accepted as an ally]]. And Flash could have easily recorded the whole confession, ruining the entire frame-up.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Marlize looks terrified when her husband hijacks Dominic's body, and is clearly starting to have second thoughts about the EvilPlan.

* TheNicknamer: Cisco gives Dominic the nickname "Brainstorm" mere moments after meeting him for the first time, prompting Ralph to complain that he's been a member of Team Flash for weeks and [[LampshadeHanging hasn't yet received a nickname of his own]].

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Yes the two are absolutely vile human-beings, but Clifford and Marlize [=DeVoe=]'s undying love for one another is still apparent, as they happily [[VillainsOutShopping decorate their home for Christmas]].

* EvilGloating: [=DeVoe=] (as Dominic) calls up Barry to gloat over framing him with his old body. This seems a rather [[IdiotBall foolish choice for a smart guy]], since he gives away his new identity to Team Flash instead of possibly [[TheMole being accepted as an ally]].

* NoodleIncident: Whatever hijinks that occurred with Killer Frost that led to Harry, Cisco, and Ralph to coin an inside joke about baking soda. PlayedForDrama in that it leaves Caitlin feeling left out and envious of her alter ego.

* BookEnds:

* SadisticChoice: Iris faces one.

** Savitar once mentioned how the team had to built a neural inhibiter to stop [=DeVoe=]. We learn that what was initially thought to be a suppressor for his SuperIntelligence was really for his newly-gained {{telepathy}} instead.

* CallBack: As a reminder of how only half of Team Flash know about the [[ChekhovMIA absent]] (and imprisoned somewhere else by the Thinker) Weeper, [=DeVoe=] labels the bus-meta Dominic as '''Subject #6'''.

* WhamShot: Barry discovers [=DeVoe=]'s bloody corpse in his apartment, with the [[ChekhovsGun knife]] Barry and Iris recieved as a "Wedding Gift" sticking from his back.

* ChekhovsGun: The single knife Barry and Iris recieved as a "Wedding Gift" was from the [=DeVoes=] and used to implicate Barry in Clifford's murder.

** Killer Frost now has her own iced-mocha drink at Jitters, alongside The Flash's cappuccino infusion.

* IllBeInMyBunk: After seeing Gypsy's holographic stripogram, Cisco asks Joe if [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar he could burrow a room upstairs]] [[RefugeInAudacity for a little while.]] Joe understandably tells him to watch it in his own house.

* ItsAllMyFault: Ralph on Caitlin's abduction, feeling if he hadn't driven her away with his playful teasing she never
would have been at Jitters in the first place.

* ShoutOut: [=DeVoe=]'s evil plan turns out to be a big one to ''Film/GetOut2017''.
