Last issue ended in the middle of an explosion, and this issue opens milliseconds later in the middle of the same explosion as the Flash races across the country to save the life of his attorney Peter Farley. Which he does, but just barely. In a brief interaction with a nurse at the hospital, writer Cary Bates does a nice job of bringing readers up to speed on the fact that the Flash is about to go on trial for the murder of the Reverse Flash. And while we’re on the subject of lawyers and trials, Bates reintroduces the the famous lawyer N.D. Redik who is still trying to become the Flash’s attorney, but who also is a suspect behind the explosion that almost killed Peter Farley.
As the Flash seeks refuge at Peter Farley’s home, the Rainbow Raider decides to take advantage of the Flash’s troubles and go on a robbery spree. The Flash goes after him and a tussle ensues. The Raider has the Flash on the ropes, when Green Lantern shows up to save the day. As RR is taken off to jail, the Flash and GL have a conversation on a rooftop. Once again, it appears as if writer Bates is giving a nod to a longstanding Flash relationship and saying goodbye to it as things move towards the finale.
In the final panel, Peter Farley’s law firm partner shows up to assume responsibility for the case, and turns out to be, Cecil Horton, a flamboyantly attired woman. The ride ain’t over yet.
