The Flash season 2, episode 8, “Legends of Today,” airs tonight. This is the first of a two-part crossover with Arrow.
Previously…
Barry dealt with the aftermath of his confrontation with Zoom. Physically, he was healing from a wound that would have left a normal person paralyzed, while mentally he suffered from flashbacks as well as crippling self-doubt. When Barry wouldn’t open up to anyone on the team, Iris called in reinforcements: Henry. Henry was able to get Barry to open up about his feelings and help him push through them.
Meanwhile, Gorilla Grodd returned and kidnapped Caitlin. He wanted her to help create more gorillas like him because he was lonely. The S.T.A.R. Labs team plus Harrison Wells worked together to rescue her and send him to Gorilla City on Earth-2.
And when Cisco and Kendra had their first date, Cisco vibed an image of Hawkgirl off her.
