How do Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) end up in a musical? The Music Meister (fellow Glee alumnus Darren Criss) whammies Supergirl, putting her in a coma. Mon-El (Chris Wood) and Hank Henshaw (David Harewood) bring her to Earth 1 seeking Team Flash’s help.
But the Music Mesiter surprises The Flash too, putting him in a coma as well. Barry and Kara 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.”
