History Recap / TheFlash2014S2E4TheFuryofFirestorm

* TookALevelInJerkass: Caitlin was really dismissive of Jax, to the point that she accused him of flaking when things got tough without looking at his circumstances or history.

* LongLostRelative: Turns out Francine had a son (confirmed by WordOfGod to be Wally West) eight months after she left Central City. But she didn't tell Joe about him. Iris however did some digging and found about him. Iris doesn't know if Joe's the father or not, and she doesn't what to know because if Joe is the dad, Iris knows he would flip out that he never got to raise his son. Either way, it only hardens Iris' resolve to not reconnect with her mom.

* OutOfFocus: Jay doesn't appear in this episode despite taking over the mentor role from Harrison Wells.

* SwissCheeseSecurity: Wells is not only able to break out of S.T.A.R labs with no one noticing he was ever there in the first place, but he was also able to break into labs.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Caitlin was really dismissive of Jax, to the point that she accused him of flaking when the things got tough without looking at his circumstances.

* CurbstompBattle: Hewitt may be powerful, but he's also one of the only metahumans that wasn't a threat to Barry the entire episode. Forget using powers against him, Firestorm took him out with a single punch! King Shark might be included here as well since Wells did him in with a single shot.

* CurbstompBattle: Tokamek may be powerful, but he's also one of the only metahumans that wasn't a threat to Barry the entire episode. Forget using powers against him, Firestorm took him out with a single punch!

* CallBack: Professor Stein mentioned how he and Ronnie went to Pittsburgh to understand their Firestorm powers, and he's doing it again with Jax.

* PutOnABus: Stein and Jax go back to Pittsburg to get a better handle on their abilities. Just in time for Earth-2!Wells to show up.

* Continuity Nod: Francine has [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome, the same disease that the Arrowverse Clock King has.

* PsychologicalProjection: Caitlin seems drawn to Hewitt because she originally sees a lot of Ronnie in him.

* BlatantLies: Aside from Patty being a BadLiar, we have Cisco. When asked by Caitlin if he'd reject [[DramaticIrony the chance to be a superheo]], he hesitantly says "sign me up" despite the fact that he knows he ''does'' have powers and hates it.

** The episode title, from {{ComicBook/Firestorm}}'s most recent run.
** Iris's mom reveals that she's dying from [[Film/BatmanAndRobin MacGregor's Syndrome.]] Also a ContinuityNod, since Clock King had the same condition.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: It was well advertised that Jay would be the new Firestorm.

* WorkingClassHero: Jay is a blue collar mechanic.

* LongLostRelative: Turns out Francine had a son (heavily implied to be Wally West) eight months after she left Central City. But she didn't tell Joe about him. Iris however did some digging and found about him. Iris doesn't know if Joe's the father or not, and she doesn't what to know because if Joe is the dad, Iris knows he would flip out that he never got to raise his son. Either way, it only hardens Iris' resolve to not reconnect with her mom.

* MythologyGag: Caitlin refers to Hewitt's powers as being something like a tokamak (a type of fusion reactor). The comic book Henry Hewitt is knows as Tokamak, The Living Reactor.

* ShoutOut:
** The episode title, from {{ComicBook/Firestorm}}'s most recent run.
** Iris's mom reveals that she's dying from [[Film/BatmanAndRobin MacGregor's Syndrome.]]

* OneSceneWonder: Despite having around 45 seconds of screen time, King Shark sure makes an impression.
