History Recap / TheFlash2014S4E14Subject9

* RealityEnsues: The circumstances of Barry's acquittal did not leave everybody convinced of his innocence because [[CityOfWeirdos it's freakin' Central City]], where it's entirely possible that a clone or shapeshifter could have replaced [=DeVoe=]. So Barry is forced into an indefinite leave of absence until people are convinced that [=DeVoe=] is alive.

* ExactWords: Cisco and Harry lampshade how Savitar had said the cerebral inhibitor had been "built to stop [=DeVoe=]. He never said anything about it actually ''working''.

* One of her postings is an update on the status of her Blue Valley concert, citing that it's been cancelled because of "some sorta' starfish situation", a CallBack to [[TheFlashS4E7ThereforeIAm "Therefore I Am"]], when Wally referenced fighting a giant starfish from outer space (presumably Starro from the comics).
* She also has concerts scheduled in Keystone City, [[Series/Arrow Star City]], [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Coast City]] and [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Bludhaven]].

* DeaderThanDead: Barry seems to believe that this is [[UncertainDoom the fate]] of the bus metas that [=DeVoe=] either [[GrandTheftMe bodyjacks]] or [[PowerParasite powerjacks]], but we don't yet know if this is the case. However, the fact that the bodies [=DeVoe=] steals eventually [[PossessionBurnout wear out]] when his mind is in them lends some credence to this theory.

* AbsenteeActor: Joe. There's not even a cursory explanation as to where he is.

Team Flash has to protect The Thinker's next target, a country musician who discovers her violin can cause shockwaves or control minds.

* CallBack: Ralph warns Izzy about using the S.T.A.R. Labs elevator since [[Recap/TheFlash2014S4E8CrisisOnEarthXPart3 killer robots tend to emerge from there]].

* FairWeatherFriend: 99% of the CCPD sans Joe and Singh to Barry. Despite his acquittal, not everyone is convinced on his innocence and they believe he shouldn't be given his job back. Indeed when he walks back into the precinct instead of receiving a hero's welcome, he's given [[DisapprovingLook Disapproving Looks]].
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: When Izzy faces [=DeVoe=] in the episode's climax, her instrument breaks, leaving her helpless. Except she already managed to fend off [=DeVoe=] without an instrument earlier. Perhaps she thought another bit of bad luck would stop her, but she doesn't even ''try''.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Captain Singh address Barry by his first name, instead of just calling him "Allen" like always you know things are serious.

** Why did [=DeVoe=] steal Hazard's body? It's because Dominic's body was decaying and Hazard's is already. So he's jumping from body to body to stave off the inevitable.

* ProphecyTwist: Savitar mentioned using a neural inhibitor against [=DeVoe=], so Barry is excited when Harry comes up with one. When it fails, Cisco points out that Savitar didn't say anything about it ''working''.

* {{Expy}}: A hard-working, talented Southern girl who is sometimes too proud to accept help and wears a cowboy hat? Are we talking about Izzy or [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicApplejack Applejack]]?

* HappyEndingOverride: Barry's acquittal. Not everyone is convinced he's truly innocent, so Singh is strong-armed by the new mayor to put Barry on an indefinite leave of absence.
