The Flash Recap: The Thinker's Origins Revealed — Plus: Who Came

The Flash Recap: The Thinker's Origins Revealed — Plus: Who Came Back?

The Thinker may be the fastest mind alive, but Barry’s got a one-track mind that’s obsessed with thwarting the baddie during Tuesday’s The Flash.

“For the sake of your job and my sanity, please, let it go,” Iris begs her fiancé. So you can imagine how worried she is when the team discovers that Barry phased into DeVoe’s home, hoping to track the camera in the samurai’s head back to the prof. The B&E gets Barry suspended from work and earns him a restraining order.

Meanwhile, flashbacks to Central City, circa four years ago, reveal how DeVoe came to be the fastest mind alive. It begins when he asks his wife to build out his design for a cap that will expand the brain to an infinite capacity. But such a device requires a great power source. Luckily, Harrison Wells — who recognizes DeVoe’s name and the work that he will do in the future — is about to turn on his particle accelerator. After being knocked out by the explosion, a cap-wearing DeVoe wakes up “enlightened” — but his body is another story. His mind is drawing energy from his body, causing it to rapidly deteriorate. The solution to that problem is revealed in the present when DeVoe’s wife removes his scalp (ew!) and plugs him back into his fancy Thinker chair to recharge.

Flash fans, what did you think of The Thinker’s backstory? And are you glad Wally is back?
