There’s so much to unpack from last night’s amazing episode of “ The Flash ,” from the Vibe reveal to the introduction of the new Harrison “Call Me Harry” Wells — but we all know there’s only one moment we need to discuss: Barry and Patty’s first date. Really, it was the perfect night, and an all-time great “Flash” moment, filled with mini-moments that drove us completely Batty. Here’s our roundup of all the best moments (which is pretty much every moment) from the date, complete with helpful closed captioning:

Sure, we love Little Mix for the absolute fire songs they have been putting out (we’ll get to hear even more when they drop Get Weird on Friday), but we also love them for their sense of humor.

Is the return of Mixtape Weezy upon us? We can only hope. After all, there’s no time in his career when Lil Wayne has been as revered or untouchable as the height of his mixtape run a few years back: Dismantling the day’s most popular beats, to the point that their originals became almost obsolete; delivering the kind of witty, non-sequitur similes and punchlines that make you laugh and press repeat. Near the top of his Mixtape Weezy catalog is 2009’s No Ceilings , which he’ll be following up with a sequel this Thanksgiving . And now, we have what appears to be our first taste of what’s sure to be a remix-heavy tape. Over the weekend, Wayne performed his unreleased version of Drake’s “Back to Back,” and while we can’t know for sure that it’ll land on No Ceilings 2 , it seems like a safe bet, and not just because he says “the Benz don’t got no ceilings” in one of his bars — though he does do that. Beyond that, he’s up to his old ways, with punchlines about women, wealth and weed (“Th
