History Recap / TheFlash2014S4E3LuckBeALady

* AffablyEvil: Despite Becky knowingly causing havoc after gaining her powers, she nonetheless maintains her sweet and perky personality and after being foiled by Team Flash she [[GracefulLoser politely surrenders]] herself to Barry.

** Becky from a pre-meta frumpster, to post-meta knockout.
** Less significant and surprising something still has to be said of beautiful Iris looking even more stunning in the brief glimpses we get of her in her bridal gown.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Barry and Iris openly celebrate another couple disbanding their engagement, opening up an opportunity for the ideal venue for their own wedding...which promptly burns down due to a freak soufflé accident.

* RealityEnsues: It was really only a matter of time before Harry's extremely [[{{Jerkass}} hostile]] personality completely alienated him from others, including his own family.

* TheCameo: Violett Beane as a holo-recording of Jesse.

* ForegoneConclusion: With Violett Beane working on other projects, and thus Jesse having to be the Flash of Earth-2, pretty much everyone saw a Wally/Jesse breakup coming.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Barry's reaction when he learns that he was prevented from chasing after bank robbers because a hapless deliveryman spilled a barrel full of marbles on the street.
* YourCheatingHeart: As part of Becky's unending stream of bad luck, she comes home to find her boyfriend making out with another woman. She dumps him immediately (well, after the 5-10 minutes she spends in the bathroom due to her lactose intolerance). Although, some might say that catching her boyfriend in the act may be an indicator of ''good'' luck, since otherwise he would've just continued his affair in secret.

-->'''Cisco:''' He got jinxed by an ex. Hasn't been able to find a mall parking spot for three years.

-->'''Caitlin''': ''(sternly to Harry)'' We are not done!

* InternalReveal:
** Zig-zagged. With Harry's help, Team Flash pieces together that the Samuroid was bait to release Barry to create a batch of new metas; this catches the Thinker off-guard.
** Played straight with the fact that Cecile is pregnant.

* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: Becky really has no idea what sort of havoc her powers are bringing, i.e., the more good luck she experiences at the cost of having various disasters in Central City.

* TheReveal: The new batch of metahumans were created when Barry was freed from the Speed Force; they were all on a bus and were hit with a dark matter wave when the wormhole opened up.

** Iris wanted to AltarTheSpeed, piggybacking off a funeral just so she and Barry can get hitched... the priest suddenly had a cinnamon allergy reaction, and they couldn't get married as a result.

* TheJinx: Becky, once she gets her powers.

* AssholeVictim: No one feels sorry for Becky’s cheating ex when he gets a taste of her bad luck inducing powers.

* CreateYourOwnVillain: Barry's escape from the Speedforce is directly responsible for creating a literal busload full of new Metahumans.

** When first introduced to Post Meta Becky/Hazard the famous Frank Sinatra cover of the episodes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFywWobuGKo&feature=share title song]] plays over a sequence of her demonstrating her powers while nonchalantly robbing a bank.

** Right after Cisco says nothing's going wrong at STAR Labs yet, the particle accelerator starts turning on.

* AffablyEvil: Despite Becky knowingly causing havoc after gaining her powers, she none the less maintains her sweet and perky personality and after being foiled by Team Flash she [[GracefulLoser politely surrenders]] herself to Barry.

* ArbitraryScepticism: Despite living in a world where magic is a thing, Barry brushes off the idea of being jinxed as ridiculous.

** Becky herself says that barely catching up to a bus is the best thing that's happened to her today. Said bus is in the vicinity when Barry busts out of the Speed Force, transforming her and her fellow passengers in the process.
** Iris wanted to AltarTheSpeed, piggybacking off a funeral just so she and Barry can get hitched...the priest suddenly had a cinnamon allergy reaction, and they couldn't get married as a result.

* GodzillaThreshold: To cancel out Becky's bad luck wave, Harry lets the Particle Accelerator go off, which actually cancels it out.

** During the last part of Becky's flashback, she hitches a ride on a bus, and she meets the other passengers, one of which is the man who would become Kilg%re.

* TheChewToy: Becky's life ''[[{{Understatement}} sucked]]'' before the mini dark matter wave.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Barry and Iris openly celebrate another couple disbanding their engagement, opening up an opportunity for the ideal venue for their own wedding... which promptly burns down due to a freak soufflé accident.

** It's mentioned that Becky complains about her bad life on her My Space page. That's right: In 2017, she's using ''My Space.''

* UnreliableExpositor: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. Harry makes his entrance into Earth-1 by informing Wally that Jesse has broken up with him. [[Recap/TheFlash2014S3E14AttackOnCentralCity Given that he's lied about this before to break the two apart]], the audience could easily surmise he's doing it again. [[note]]And the brief parts of the "Breakup Cube" that are seen could be faked[[/note]] However, by the episode's end, Wally travels to Earth-2 and confirms it for himself.

* CatchPhrase: Cisco tries to use Oliver's "You have failed this city" during the laser tag match, only to be immediately tagged.

-->'''Caitlin''': ''(sternly to Harry)'' We are not finished!

* CassandraTruth: Harry showing up to tell Wally that Jesse broke up with him. The team has good reason to not believe Harry since [[Recap/TheFlash2014S3E14AttackOnCentralCity he's tried to keep them apart before]], but Wally later goes to Earth-2 to confirm the awful truth.
