Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Last time a hugely popular, nerd-friendly TV series hinged an episode around a trial by combat, the result was Game of Thrones’ “The Mountain and the Viper.” Luckily, the Flash crew weren’t interested in mentally scarring their viewers with the sight of Cisco’s head being smushed into jelly. Instead, this trial by combat offered a fun change of pace and the opportunity for the show to focus on characters other than Barry for a while.
The big news this week was the debut of Gypsy (Sleepy Hollow’s Jessica Camacho). This was a fairly loose interpretation of the character, though, what with her being re-imagined as an interdimensional bounty hunter and her illusion powers being cast aside in favor of making her Earth-19’s answer to Vibe. Comic fans might be a little disappointed, but these changes definitely worked in the context of the episode. Plus, much like Vibe himself, Gypsy was a mildly offensive ethnic stereotype when she first debuted in the comics. With all the problems the Romani people have with representation in media already, I don’t know that a traditional take on the character is really in anyone’s best interests.
