Quite an episode this; definitely a strong way to come back after a few weeks' break. The case against Barry Allen was strong and there was nothing team flash could practically do to prove his innocence, and I am glad that the show respected that rather than bail him out from some weird angle no one saw coming. I like how they attempt to turn the case around by proving that DeVoe's wife was having an affair only to have it blow in their faces. There were more things they could have done with the trial, like put Dominic Lanse on the stand to cross-examine Marlize's claims, or at least verify that they indeed first met at the event that she claimed they did, but ultimately it had to be a conviction for Barry and so the show decided not to go with more courtroom scenes. Instead, team flash had to deal with a (non-hostile) meta and eventually have The Flash show up to finish it off for them. While this side-story might seem irrelevant when its playing, it sets up the final few minutes of the episode where The Flash is honored by the police department for his bravery and at the same time Barry Allen is being sentenced for life. Overall a good episode with a little bit of action and lots of emotions, none of them unnecessary. The only reason I'm taking a star away from my rating is the cringeworthy scene where Barry stops Iris from revealing his identity and for some reason he is able to communicate with her.
