History Recap / TheFlash2014S3E6Shade

* AGodAmI: Savitar refers to himself as the "god of speed." Given the truly impressive speeds he can reach (to the point that he is effectively ''invisible'' to anyone but Barry -- when '''''[[UpToEleven standing still]]''''' -- and causes a ground tremor upon arrival), it's hard to argue with him.

* NotSoDifferent: When H.R. gets told by Cisco that he is a wanted murderer on this Earth, he chides him for not telling him so directly. Then Cisco points out that he lied about his expertise, and [[{{Touche}} he immediately concedes the point]].

* ChekhovsGun: H.R. shows the team a facial transmogrification device he brought from Earth-19. It comes in handy for [[spoiler:saving Iris]] in a later episode.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: In the comics, the Shade [[Comicbook/{{Starman}} eventually]] evolved into a complex and intriguing AntiVillain. Here, he's just a nameless {{mook}} for Dr. Alchemy who gets no lines and no character development whatsoever.

* TheReveal: The metahuman who killed the Rival for failing Alchemy is Savitar, the [[AGodAmI supposed God of Speed...]] and ''[[CurbStompBattle he's got the powers to back it up.]]''

* HopeSpot: Barry, backed up by Joe and the CCPD, captures Alchemy before he can give Wally powers... then Savitar shows up, and in the chaos, Wally grabs the Philosopher's Stone and is placed into some kind of chrysalis.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Shade gets defeated by... car headlights.

* DumbassHasAPoint: While ''dumbass'' might be stretching things a little, H.R. hasn't really contributed much to Team Flash yet. This time however, he comes up with the idea of locking Wally up to ensure his own safety until they come up with a better solution and the team agrees with it.

* FireForgedFriends: Averted. Despite Julian mellowing out a little thanks to him and Barry resolving a troublesome situation together, he stills makes it clear that they are not instantly best friends. However, he is somewhat warmer to him than he was before.

* ContinuityNod: Grodd is mentioned. Apparently, he has a doppelgaenger on Earth-19.
* CovertPervert: When Cisco accuses H.R. of stealing his cuffs, he dismissively states that he doesn't know a woman on this Earth well enough to already be at the 'cuff state'.

** Also no one can deny the fact H.R makes when he says that it's only a matter of time before someone realizes that STAR Labs and its remaining crew are working with The Flash.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: All the titular Meta does is attack people, nothing is really known about who he is. Not even his name is revealed.
* HopeSpot: Barry, backed up by Joe and the CCPD, captures Alchemy before he can give Wally powers...then Savitar shows up, and in the chaos, Wally grabs the Philosopher's Stone and is placed into some kind of chrysalis.

* LivingShadow: The titular villain is a Meta who can turn into a shadow. SubvertedTrope, as it turns out he's just vibrating at such a high frequency that it ''looks'' like he's a shadow.

* NotSoDifferent: When H.R. gets told by Cisco that he is a wanted murderer on this Earth, he chides him for not telling him so directly. Then Cisco points out that he lied about his expertise, and he immidiately concedes the point.

* RankUp: Barry gets back his old position as a result of the growing ""Husk" situation.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Shades gets defeated by.....car headlights.

* YouDidntAsk: Barry's excuse for not telling Wally he had powers in Flashpoint and not telling Caitlin she had none in the original timeline, or more accurately "you asked not to tell". Both don't take it well.

* WeWantOurJerkBack: When H.R. starts ruining Joe's date by [[MotorMouth talking non-stop to Cecile]], Joe notes in an annoyed tone how much he misses Earth-2 Wells. Cisco non-verbally agrees.

* ShipTease: Joe anc Cecile go on a date, which gets ruined by Shade.

* LivingShadow: The titular villain is a Meta who can turn into a shadow.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: H.R. stills gets on everybodys nerves, especially on Joe's during his date with Cecile.
