Season 5 episode 21 “Team Flash is on high alert after Cicada II threatens to unleash a dangerous virus that would put all meta-humans at risk.”
The Good & The Bad
The Good
1. The episode starts off in the future with Thawne’s death row timer running down to 0, his time has come on death row. We find out that he’s been on it for 15 years. We see Thawne has been planning to escape all along.
2. Team Flash find out Cicada 2 is going to kill all the Meta-Human’s so Sherloque heads off to find his girlfriend, who is a Meta. He brings her to CCPD to receive the cure but she runs away, we find out she doesn’t want the cure because she likes having her powers so they make a plan to meet up on Sherloque’s earth where he sends her.
3. When The Flash and Nora are running, Nora’s lightning starts to turn red because of her “anger” We see Nora have visison’s of the lab where Cicada 2 is at. We come to find out that the lightning is turning red not because of Nora’s anger but it’s actually Cicada’s anger and that Nora and Grace are still connected with each others minds. Later on in the episode we find out that Grace knows when Nora is in her mind.
4. Ralph’s detective skills come in handy throughout the episode because he knows Thawne is planning something else. He works on it all episode and comes to realize that Thawne has the dagger in the future because of Cicada saying she didn’t need the dagger in the future.
The Bad
1. While Ralph was working out what Thawne’s plan truly was Barry shut’s him down even though they were meant to be a team and Barry doesn’t see that.
2. Nora devises a plan to connect her mind to Grace’s again so she uses the gadget that Caitlin used to speak to Killer Frost. Nora connects to Graces mind but Graces anger interferes and causes Nora to pass out with a nose bleed.
Holy Shit Moment
This weeks holy shit moment was the fight scene with Cicada 2. She single handily destroyed Team Flash, she knocked out Barry, had a sword fight with Killer Frost and Ralph then showed her true power by not needing the dagger to take Meta-human powers.
Verdict
Great episode, finally revealed what Thawnes plan was by manipulating Nora throughout the season, so happy we’ll get flash vs reverse flash, lot of great scenes between Barry and Nora. Ralph’s detective skills are so much better than expected.
Rating: 8/10
