When a famous superhero is taken down and replaced by a villainous impostor, it's up to Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and his team at S.T.A.R. Labs to stop the new adversary and restore order to Central City. In "The Elongated Knight Rises," the eleventh episode of The Flash's fourth season, the team must rely on the help of Ralph Dibny (Hartley Sawyer), aka the Elongated Man, as they face a new challenge.
In the episode, the team learns that the Thinker (Neil Sandilands), their longtime foe and mastermind behind numerous crimes in Central City, has once again struck. This time, he has devised a plan to take down the city's beloved superhero, the Elongated Knight, and replace him with a fake hero who will do his bidding.
Using his powers of manipulation and mind control, the Thinker has convinced the Elongated Knight to turn his back on his city and join him in his quest for power. Together, they begin to wreak havoc on Central City, posing a threat unlike anything Barry and his team have faced before.
Faced with this new challenge, Barry and the team turn to Ralph Dibny, the former detective turned meta-human who can stretch his body into any shape or form. Although Ralph is an unlikely hero and often questions his own worth, he steps up to help his friends and protect his city from the dangerous duo. As the Elongated Man, Ralph proves his mettle and shows that he is a capable and trustworthy ally.
Meanwhile, Barry must also grapple with his ongoing struggle to balance his superhero duties with his personal life. As he and his partner, Iris West (Candice Patton), navigate their newfound engagement, they must also confront the fact that they may never be able to lead normal lives. With danger lurking around every corner, they must decide whether to put their personal happiness on hold or continue to fight for the greater good of their city.
In "The Elongated Knight Rises," fans of The Flash will be treated to a thrilling and action-packed adventure, full of twists and turns that will keep them on the edge of their seats. With the return of Ralph Dibny and the promise of a dangerous new threat, this is an episode that should not be missed.
