After the rest of Barry's (Grant Gustin) friends and family are poisoned by Bloodwork (Sendhil Ramamurthy), Oliver drops by to help him fight the villain, as well as a brainwashed Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale).«It was amazing,» Amell told ET of returning for the episode. «I got a good four or five days on set and to see people.
