Warning: full episode spoilers follow.
It was clear from last week’s big cliffhanger that “The Trap” would be an eventful chapter. Our heroes have stumbled across Dr. Wells’ secret lair (or “The Time Vault” as they’re now calling it) and there’s no more denying that Wells is indeed the man in yellow. This episode took that development and ran with it, offering a story heavy on drama and revelations and only occasionally bogged down by filler.
Right off the bat, the Time Vault offered some really interesting material as Barry, Caitlin and Cisco learned far more about the future than they bargained for. Barry discovered that he’s destined for a big job promotion, that he’s the founding member of… something (more on that in a minute), that he’s doomed to disappear ten years from now, and that he’ll eventually convince Iris to marry him. That’s a lot for even a speedster to process. The trio’s interaction with Gideon was especially interesting, as she offered more insight into Wells’ motivations and even revealed that she’s loyal to her creator, Barry, above all else. I suspect that last tidbit may come in handy before long.
