They will both have to put their musical talents to the test in this episode, where their characters are trapped by the nefariousMusic Meister.
Barry (Grant Gustin) and team are surprised when Mon-El (guest starChris Wood) and Hank Henshaw (guest starDavid Harewood) arrive on their Earth carrying a comatose Supergirl (guest starMelissa Benoist) who was whammied by the Music Meister (guest starDarren Criss). Unable to wake her up, they turn to Team Flash to save her. However, the Music Meister surprises The Flash and puts him in a similar coma, one that Team Flash can’t cure. Kara and Barry wake up without their powers in an alternate reality where life is like a musical and the only way to escape is by following the script, complete with singing and dancing, to the end.
