This is probably my favourite Flash episode because it really has a cool twist of drama to it. It's filled with joy, love, tragedy and humor. Once again, the psychotic Trickster has return, and he is more meaner and crazier than ever who appeared previously from the episode titled "The Trickster". The episode also introduces a new character named Zoey Clark, an owner of Clarx Toys store who is a huge fan of the Trickster and would do anything to get her hands on him. One day, she helps the Trickster escape from his trials in court without him aware of it and brings him to the toy store. From there she confesses her love to him saying that she finds kindred spirit in him and wants to be his fantasy sidekick Prank. She takes her clothes off to reveal the Prank costume underneath and seduces him back into crime.
Meanwhile, Barry Allen and Megan Lockhart deals with some personal issues that they are currently facing with each other and of course Tina McGee is involved with it. Typical love triangle thing. After a brief "reunion", both the Trickster and Prank kidnaps the Flash and brainwashes him into evil, and soon the fastest man alive becomes the crazed clown's new partner, demoting Prank terribly. She gets jealous of the Trickster treating the Flash a lot better than her and this results into a heartbreak. Prank begs the Trickster to stop doing this but her so called "fiance" ties her in her own toy store and leaves her there for being such a nuisance.
After managing to break free, Prank tries to win the Trickster's heart back by rescuing him again after he fails to bring Central City into trial and the fact that the Flash's brainwashing effect begins to wear off. The Trickster is impress with Prank's effort after "treating you like dirt". Prank blushes very deeply and simply says I love you with a passionate smile. But instead of a lovely re-reunion together, the Trickster shows his gratitude by pushing Prank out of the getaway car and runs off solo, leaving Prank behind again. So in the end, both the Trickster and Prank are apprehended.
I really wish they make a better ending because both the villains were arrested in a very sudden way. It made me curious to see more than that. And not to mention the chemistry between Allen, Lockhart and McGee is just too typical and weak to see. But other than that, this is my all-time personal favourite episode of all the Flash series.moreless
