geebsTV commentary:
Flash- Heh, so no real movement this week. Barry is still powerless and Caitlin is still being held prisoner. I mean, Harry gets captured by an Earth-1 meta who thinks he's Earth-1 Harrison Wells and wants a cure for his condition (he's super strong, but is growing old everytime he uses his powers) or if he can't have that, revenge. Like they do get Jesse back on the team to help rescue her dad, so there's that. But they're really at the same point they were in the beginning of the ep.
Heh, and Wally wants to meet the Flash to thank him for giving up his powers to save him. Which, I thought Barry disguising his voice was a product of doing something speedy, but I guess he was using a modulator the whole time? And heh, everyone and their mother knows Barry's secret already, so why not freaking tell Wally?
On Earth-2, Zoom uncuffs Caitlin as a show of trust, and she finds Killer Frost (who Zoom was apparently keeping alive because she looks like Caitlin) and masked guy imprisoned. She ends up freeing her evil self, her doppelganger having convinced her they should work together to escape. Apparently both their moms are bitches, but Earth-2 Caitlin had a brother who died. Oh, and she dropped out of medical school. So those are possible explanations for why their lives took different paths, even though no explanation should really be needed because they're living in different universes so there's so many different variables at play that they shouldn't be able to narrow it down to like one thing that made one of them good and one of them evil.
Anyways, after Caitlin frees Killer Frost, KF tries to kill her. Why? Because now that Zoom has real Caitlin, KF thinks he won't need her anymore. And I guess is betting that he won't be so angry he would murder out of spite and keep her around because she's the closest thing to actual Caitlin? Anyways, Zoom shows up and kills Killer Frost before she can kill Caitlin, and he warns Caitlin against freeing masked guy. Then he tells her he wants to start conquering the multiverse, with her at his side.
Faking It- Well, that seems like an ill-advised storyline. Lets get the other stuff out of the way first. Shane feuds with that one dude who mind-tricked him into losing the competition, Noah. Noah apologizes in the beginning, but then he starts negging Shane, so Shane spends most of the ep fuming. In the end, Noah admits he just doesn't know how to flirt with guys he likes and he actually likes Shane, so he for real apologizes this time.
Liam, not wanting to be homeless, acts very acquiescent to Lauren, even when she's being rude. The gang calls him new Lisbeth, so he and Lauren get into a fight where he admits he was being nice and agreeable since its her house, but he'll only go so far before homelessness is the more appealing choice. But, they make up in the end after talking things out and setting their expectations for their whole roommates thing.
Finally, onto the meat of the ep. So Karma hates Sabrina because she feels Sabrina bullied her behind Amy's back in their camp days to try and steal Amy away from her. After talking with some dude (Liam? Shane? Felix? I forget), she thinks this is all in the past, and they're different now, and they can share Amy.
So she goes to apologize and airs her grievance over feeling bullied back at camp, and Sabrina says she always felt like Karma bullied her. Back at camp, Sabrina felt she finally found a really good friend in Amy, but Amy already had a best friend, Karma, who would not leave them alone for even a minute. She felt Karma was preventing her from being let in to their little friendship.
So they seem to make up, but turns out Sabrina is still mad over it all. Having just found out Amy is bi (even though they still won't have Amy say that word), Sabrina says she thinks she might be gay and is thankful she has a friend like Amy who can help her with her feelings, and hints maybe there's an attraction there.
But, when they hug, we do see Sabrina have an evil look in her eye, like she's faking not being straight just to steal Amy from Karma. Which brings me to the start of my post, that just seems ill-advised to introduce a new character faking lesbianism just to win Amy. There's sure to be people who have a problem with that whole situation.
Although their weird competition to possess Amy is pretty gay.
