HIs plan to in this issue to give happiness to everyone in Central City and control people's minds is pretty genius, even if Barry doesn't respect him. Don't worry, by the end of the issue, he will.

After revealing his master plan in some wonderful villain-splaining, Flash is *gasp* betrayed by Commander Cold and captured. No matter though, as Flash breaks free of his restraints and has the hero moment where he runs off to save the city and stop Tricksters plan once and for all…except he doesn't. When he breaks his bonds, he falls to the ground. How do you stop The Flash? Well…
