On The Flash, Barry Allen’s good intentions often lead to unforeseen consequences. A great example of this is when he and the rest of Team Flash decided to cure Grodd‘s loneliness by tricking him into being teleported to Earth-2, where he could make himself at home in Gorilla City. However, since Grodd isn’t interested in playing second banana, he wants to overthrow its leader, Solovar, and is willing to manipulate Team Flash into helping him achieve his power grab.

To promote Tuesday’s “Attack on Gorilla City,” which is the first of a two-part event, The CW has released a new poster. It features a back-view of The Flash, who is staring at the Gorilla City entrance. Its tagline reads, “RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE.”
If you’re not a boxing fan, that tagline is a reference to the name of the legendary 1974 heavyweight bout between Muhammed Ali and George Foreman. In it, Ali implemented his famous rope-a-dope strategy to knockout Foreman in the eighth round, pulling off the historic upset and regaining his title.
When Jesse Quick (guest star Violett Beane) informs the team that her father (Tom Cavanagh) has been abducted, Barry (Grant Gustin), Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Julian (Tom Felton) voyage to Earth-2 on a rescue mission to save Harry from Gorilla City. As they trek through the forest, Barry and the team are immediately captured and brought to Grodd (voiced by David Sobolov).
Grodd tells them he needs their help to stop Solovar (voiced by Keith David), the leader of Gorilla City, as Solovar wants to invade Earth-1. Meanwhile, back on Earth-1, Jesse and Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale) hit the streets to stop a metahuman that can control gravity, with H.R. and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) guiding them from S.T.A.R. Labs.
Dermott Downs directed the episode with story by Andrew Kresiberg and teleplay by Aaron Helbing & David Kob.
