Kadabra recognizes the Flash as Barry Allen, and knows everything about him- including the fact that Savitar will kill Iris soon (because he's from the future, and this is all ancient history to him, duh!). Barry changes into the Flash and zooms to the scene, and finds Kadabra in the middle of another heist. While there, they get an alert of a robbery in progress at Kord Industries, another technology company (which should sound familiar to fans of the Blue Beetle). Barry, who's trying to be optimistic, says they'd be delighted to take the tickets.īarry and Joe investigate the "drowning" at Stagg Industries. Iris looks uncomfortable, since she's destined to be killed by Savitar in the season finale in May. They're eager to take them, until Cecile says the tickets are for a July show. Cecile says her sister has four tickets to Hamilton she can't use, and offers two of them to Barry & Iris. He snaps his fingers again and it fills with water, drowning the men.Ĭut to Barry, Iris, Joe and Cecile double dating at Jitters. He grabs the piece of tech and with a snap of his fingers, changes place with the guards trapping them inside the case. The guards pull their guns on him, and Kadabra disappears and reappears inside the case. Kadabra's looking for a piece of tech, and sees it locked inside a secure case. Inside Stagg Industries (remember them from Season 1?), two security guards run into Abra Kadabra, a supervillain/magician (!) from the 64th Century. Such plotlines can be tricky business, as instead of fueling fan speculation, they can easily cause them to shrug and say, "Who cares?" After all this buildup, I have a bad feeling when we finally do learn who Savitar really is, it's gonna be a big "meh" moment. The writer's are really working overtime on drawing out the Big Reveal of Savitar's True Identity. Then when he's not preaching the gospel of the God Of Speed, he's playing coy with Joe and Barry, teasing, but never quite revealing, Savitar's true identity.

Seriously, the way he crushes on the guy, I was ready to tell the two of 'em to get a room! We get a few very brief scenes of him performing his trademark "magic," but he spend the majority of the episode going on and on about Savitar. That happiness soon turned to disappointment when the writers took such an important and iconic villain from the mythology and completely and utterly wasted him.

Best of all, there were no musical numbers this week!Īs a long time reader of comics, I was happy when I found out that Abra Kadabra was appearing on the show. This week on The Flash, we get the long-awaited first appearance of Silver Age villain Abra Kadabra, although he's criminally underused, another hare-brained "Save Iris" scheme from Barry, and the not-so-unexpected return of Killer Frost.
