Barry and Iris face the freakishly bendy metahuman Rag Doll
The Flashcan do funny.
It can do lighthearted, heartwarming, and even dark sometimes.
But the one thing I dont think it has ever truly done is creepy.

Watching actorTroy Jamescontort his very bendy body while wearing a clown mask was unexpectedly unsettling.
It was also entertaining, too, which helped a lot.
Meanwhile, Caitlin, Ralph, Sherloque, and an injured Cisco made some headway onfinding her father.
Somehow the family stuff never felt completely at odds with the Rag Doll of it all.
Anyway, lets dive in!
Of course, Nora isnt too jazzed about her parents being, well, parents and storms off.
and comparing it to Rag Dolls nebulous relationship with his wealthy mom isnt enough to make us empathize.
After that pep talk, Iris has an epiphany and decides to track down a lead.
Unfortunately, Barry cant fight back because Rag Doll snaps the cuffs on him.
Its the sort of endearingly goofy Silver Age goodness weve come to expect from the show.
Remember how I said the show makes sure to show us Iris being a hero?
Well, this is where it happens.
When she and Ralph show up, Rag Doll pushes Barry off of a rooftop.
Without hesitating for a second, Iris follows Barry off the roof (watch as she dives in!)
By the end of the episode, the chilliness between Iris and Nora starts to thaw.
