I liked it but the ending was a little pandering. Also there were a few times to easily take out Flash but but the bad guy didn't bite.

I liked it overall. Thought the ending was kind of clever. Looks like Devoe's plan is starting to show more. Surprised by the ending but looking forward to more Sugar Lyn Beard.

So glad to see Sugar back even if we have to accept an even more lame extension of this Devoe arc.
The scenes of "Ralph" impersonating the warden were pretty good.

A few things about Elongated Man- maybe Stranger can help me out here.
I always thought it was Plastic Man who had an easier time imitating objects/people and Ralph didn't really do much other than a lot of stretching feats. I don't recall him ever being able to change color- even Eel couldn't do that.
Nice touch with Ralph ordering a Gingold at the bar.

Why is it OK for Ralph to trick Barry's way out of prison yet not OK for Barry to hide the evidence, etc, etc?

How does Elongated Man change his color?
And the whole idea of "power dampeners" is so dumb. I know it's a superhero show, but it seems like they toss some power dampener at a hero just so the story writers can create some cheap obstacle. It's just lazy. Also, if they can do that to a whole big prison block, why not the whole city? No more metas!

When it comes to money nothing makes much sense. The show also acts like everything you made and bought while rich can get taken away if something happens with the company. Think you would own a few things.
Cisco could like make a few things for consumer based products.

In the comics Ralph only stretches and make his body completely flat.

What's the opposite of a kangaroo court? That's what Central City's got. A murdered man shows up and in court saying he's alive again somehow and the judge is just like, "Well, can't argue with that! Barry, you're officially declared innocent!" No attempt to verify this person's identity? No alternate theories? The guy could have a fucking identical twin for all that judge knows! And even if he's not dead, he got stabbed, right? Barry's off the hook for that because the not-dead guy claims to overhear something about a framing? WHAT?!

Right after the defense attorney makes a speech about people with superpowers the judge doesn’t consider that shape changing might be a superpower.

They didn't even take fingerprints (which would rule out an identical twin or clone) before setting Barry free!

If Wheels had never been arrested before, his prints probably wouldn't be on file.

What did they do with the Thinker's body? Is it still in the morgue?

And wouldn't they want to reunite DeVoe with is wife? A story like this, if true, would be national news. Ralph would be stuck playing this role for a long time, at least until the attention died down and the Thinker killed him.

The recent trend has been to make Plastic Man literally one of the most powerful superheroes in existence. He's indestructible and invulnerable to physical harm, with the ability to form any shape imaginable at any size.
