'The Flash' Season 6 Episode 4 leaves fans teary-eyed after emotions run high between Barry and Cisco

Familial relationships and friendships are at the heart of the show, as the season builds up to Crisis and Barry struggles to confront his inevitable death and make his family and friends come to terms with it

'The Flash' is leaving no stone unturned to bring the show back to its original form. After having a couple of bleak seasons, the show has got some rather strong storylines going for it in season six. 

In the latest episode, 'There Will Be Blood', Dr. Ramsey devolves from a doctor desperately trying to save himself into a monster. More than the villain at hand, the episode was high on emotions as Barry attempts to sacrifice himself for Ramsey, which does not work out.

Familial relationships and friendships are at the heart of the show, as the season builds up to Crisis and Barry struggles to confront his inevitable death and make his family and friends come to terms with it.

In the recent episode, there were powerful moments between Barry and Cisco, as well as Barry and Joe.  Barry wanted to sacrifice himself to save Dr. Ramsey and Cisco was not able to come to terms with it.

The dynamics between Barry and Cisco haven’t been explored thoroughly since season three. The emotional scenes between the two have left fans in quite a twist.

One wrote, "I loved Barry & Cisco's dynamic this episode. My favorite thing about this season by far is how everyone, individually, is attempting to deal with Crisis and Barry's journey with all of them on a very personal note. This is my favorite episode of the season so far!"

One fan wrote, "When's the last time Cisco and Barry did anything together? I've missed them." Another one tweeted, "Barry you really thought Cisco was just going to let it go? He's like your brother." 

Barry tells Cisco, "You’re my pick." Quoting that, one fan wrote, "'Your my pick. Ahhhhhh Barry and Cisco do get my feels. TheFlash. Star Labs Forever Bro. (sic)."



 

One fan called their scenes heartbreaking, but missed Caitlin's reaction. "Cisco & Joe's scenes with Barry were SO heartbreaking but there's a hollowness there without Caitlin's reaction too as it's clear she's left out. Not to mention this plot was PERFECT for a biochemist. It feels overtly contrived to keep her away at this point."

"Cisco, Caitlin, and Joe were all involved when Barry started his journey as The Flash and have stuck by his side through it all. Cisco and Joe got their heartfelt scenes tonight, but why not Caitlin," asked one fan.

Another fan hailed their friendship and wrote, "Cisco wanting to save his best friend is making me emotional! Him and Barry are the ultimate friendship."

"I love Barry and Cisco's friendship so much," one fan wrote. "I feel like we haven't had a really good Barry/Cisco scene in a long time and while this is sad, I love it and I love them," one fan tweeted.

Episode four of 'The Flash' season six aired on October 29 on The CW.
