The Flash season 2, episode 9, “Running to Stand Still,” airs tonight, as three of The Flash’s rogues team up for some Christmas mayhem.
Previously…
In a two-part crossover with Arrow, Teams Flash and Arrow teamed up to protect Kendra Saunders (Hawkgirl) and Carter Hall (Hawkman) from Vandal Savage, an immortal bent on their deaths. In the first part, Barry and Cisco took Kendra to Star City, where the team confronted Savage and ended in a tie because Savage was distracted by Kendra awakening her powers.
In the second part of the two-parter, the team once again confronted Savage but he overcame them and killed everyone but Barry, who traveled back in time. The team used the second chance to defeat Savage, though Malcolm Merlyn collected Savage’s remains so he can go on to Legends of Tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Patty saw Harrison Wells, followed him to S.T.A.R. Labs, and shot him because she hadn’t been filled in on the situation. Jay was forced to take a serum Caitlin and Wells had designed to temporarily boost Barry’s speed in order to remove the bullet from Wells’ chest, thus saving his life. Jay asked Wells to keep the serum away from Barry.
