[Published at Film Inquiry] In the four episodes of The Flash leading up to the holiday break (excluding part one of the “Elseworlds” crossover), Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) finally meets her father, Thomas Snow (Kyle Secor), more of Cicada’s backstory is revealed, Nora’s motives become increasingly questionable, and Team Flash conjures up a plan to stop Cicada once and for all. If there’s once thing we’ve learned throughout the Arrowverse, however, it’s that execution doesn’t always go as planned. As Team Flash cycles through the big bads of the day in each episode, Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) and her mother, Iris (Candice Patton), have a chance to repair their relationship.

Chris Klein continues to underwhelm as the supervillain Cicada, maintaining a consistent facial expression resembling that which one makes when they smell a foul odor, his upper lip retracting as his nostrils flare. As he’s shown in previous roles, it isn’t the only expression Klein muster, and he’s certainly capable of more range. In this case, what it comes down to is poor casting, a rare occurrence in the Arrowverse. It certainly doesn’t help that Cicada doesn’t have much dialogue to work with throughout The Flash, at least as of yet, apparently leaving Klein with nothing but a guessing game as to which emotion to portray in lieu of speaking lines.

On the contrary, Tom Cavanagh remains one of the highlights in The Flash. Cavanaghas Sherloque Wells is yet another entertaining iteration of Harrison Wells, the character viewers grew to love, then hate, the love again through his many multiverse variations. Cavanagh has portrayed fourteen versions of Harrison Wells on The Flash, and counting, on top of his turn as supervillain Eobard Thawne, who posed as Harrison Wells in Season 1. Even half of that would be an impressive feat. Cavanagh also makes his directorial debut this season with episode 8 (he’s directed two prior episodes of The Flash), and it’s a good one.

Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon gives one of the most naturalistic performances on The Flash. There was a jarring change from before and after Flashpoint in terms of Cisco’s disposition, as he essentially blamed Barry for his brother Dante’s (Nicholas Gonzalez) death. Since then, he’s has been far more cynical than the enthusiastic, buoyant Cisco we’re used to seeing in seasons passed, and although he remains a negative voice among Team Flash, his ubiquitous nicknames are gradually coming more easily again, and his spirits are beginning to change.

Episode 5 – “All Doll’d Up”

Viewers receive more answers in regards to Nora’s bitter attitude towards her Iris. Previously, we learned that, in the future, Iris plants a power dampening chip in Nora in order to suppress her powers and protect her after Barry dies in action as The Flash. She’s so upset with Iris that she cuts her off from “quarterbacking,” a vital part of the superhero job description, causing her to almost injure innocent bystanders during a high speed chase. The concept of “quarterbacking,” “practically invented” by Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) in Arrow, according to Barry (Grant Gustin), is designed to give the heroes an extra set of eyes and ears in action. Alas, Nora’s rebelliousness against her mother is beginning to put a strain on her and Barry’s relationship.

Cracking The Case With Sherloque & The Allens

With the help of Vibe (Cisco), and Sherloque, Caitlin, Cisco, Sherloque, and Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) head to Hudson University to uncover more clues about her thought-to-be-dead father, Thomas, where it is revealed that he knew Professor Stein (Victor Garber). There, they find out that Thomas not only knew about Killer Frost and Caitlin’s dual personalities, but that he may have been responsible for the creation of her duality through his fascination with the Greek goddess of snow Khione. With Vibe’s powers still not fully recovered, Caitlin scans his hands to find traces of aluminum-beryllium alloy, remnants of Cicada’s power dampening dagger, infused with dark matter, still in his wounds. So, every time Cisco Vibes, he has worsening seizures, yet he wants to help Team Flash in the way that he’s grown used to. As a result, he’s incidentally rediscovering his identity without Vibe. He’s getting to know Cisco Ramon again.

Meanwhile, Barry and Iris find themselves working on the same case. The couple works well together, and even has an opportunity to go undercover at a Theresa Merkel (Judith Maxie) gala. It’s a stunning sequence shot by relative newcomer at the helm Philip Chipera. Barry and Iris lock hands next to the piano, as the pianist plays a fanciful tune, and finally have their first dance, which they had a chance to do at their wedding, as it was invaded by intruders from Earth X during the “Crisis on Earth X” crossover event last season. There, they inquire about a certain Peter Merkel, who they find out has been terrorizing Central City. While they work on their case, Nora spends time with Cecile (Danielle Nicolet) at the West household and learns some valuable lessons on family loyalty.

Rag Doll: Creepiest Villain This Season?

Rag Doll, played by Troy James and voiced by Phil LaMarr, moves and speaks in a surprisingly unsettling way. With a head spin straight out of The Exorcist and wildly unnatural mannerism, Rag Doll is a big bad that actually might scare some of the younger audiences watching The Flash for a change. One of Rag Doll’s potential victims is big shot architect and real estate developer William Seaver (Carlo Marks), who’s planning an unprecedentedly tall skyscraper in Gotham City, the first mention of Batman’s home city in The Flash. It appears every show in the Arrowverse is gearing towards Ruby Rose‘s introduction as Batwoman.

After overhearing Barry and Iris speak at the gala, Peter, or Rag Doll, knows Barry is The Flash, a potentially life-threatening piece of information for Barry. Alas, Rag Doll kidnaps Barry in his own home. This allows for another amazing sequence created by Chipera and the special effects department, as Ralph and Iris swing through Central City in pursuit of The Flash in nearly the exact manner as Spider-Man would. Of course, this leads to an inevitable showdown, a Mexican standoff, if you will, between Barry, Rag Doll, and Ralph and Iris, forcing Iris to do something badass just in time for Nora to conveniently witness her heroism.

Conclusion: Family First

“All Doll’d Up” finally eliminates the imaginary barrier between Nora and Iris that has distanced them throughout The Flash. With the help of Cecile, who gives Nora Joe’s scrapbook of Iris’s childhood, Nora is able to see how incredible her mother is. If there’s one thing we’ve learned while watching The Flash, what happens in the future isn’t inevitable, so, much of this season is about Nora writing a new future with her parents. When DeVoe (Neil Sandilands) took over Sally, he lost four of his own satellites, which Cisco recovers, allowing Team Flash to essentially get their facial recognition, and much more, back. With Cisco not having to worry about metahuman affairs as Vibe, his spirits are lifting, and we are starting to see rays of the old Cisco shine through in Valdes’s performance.

Episode 6 – “The Icicle Cometh”

Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman are just a couple noteworthy pop culture references this episode. As I mentioned in this month’s Supergirl wrap-up, the Arrowverse‘s pop culture nods have never been better. With the help of Cisco’s four new satellites, he is essentially able track the shrapnel of the Sally satellite and track where Cicada will have been injured. Since his dark matter levels were so high after Cicada sliced his hands, he was able to deduce that the shrapnel came from the core. So, find the core? Find Cicada. As Sherloque and Iris venture off to find the core, Nora tags along, with a newfound admiration for her mother. Meanwhile, the four satellites help Cisco track Caitlin’s dad to a Black Ops warehouse, where he checked into a week after his reported death and never checked out. The mystery thickens.

Thomas Snow/Icicle

It’s quite difficult to believe that Thomas Snow would still be alive 20 years after he checked into a warehouse and locked himself in. However, Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin find him in the black ops warehouse, where he’s quarantined himself after an experiment on himself for a cure for ALS with cryogenics with the help of Victor Fries and Harrison Wells went wrong. Fans may recall Victor Fries as the famous Batman villain in the comic books under the alias Mr. Freeze, who also experimented with cryogenics to attempt to save his wife (yet another reference to Batman in preparation for Ruby Rose‘s introduction as Batwoman in the Arrowverse in the “Elseworlds” crossover event). Thomas supposedly stopped the advancement of his ALS under quarantine.

It’s all well and good with Thomas at first. Caitlin and him catch up, speak about CC Jitters coffee, her mother, and making up for lost time. It isn’t long, however, before it is revealed to the viewer why Thomas was quarantined to begin with. He has a cryogenic malignancy somatic mutation. Essentially, his skin’s temperature is freezing and spreading. Caitlin had the genetic marker for ALS as well, which Thomas was trying to cure with cryogenic gene therapy. And that is how Killer Frost was created. Thomas’s alter ego? Icicle. In the comics, Icicle was the alias of Joar and Cameron Mahkent. Essentially, he could manipulate and generate the cold.

However, Cisco thinks he Vibed something sketchy about Thomas and that he isn’t really Thomas at all, but 100% Icicle, and that he only resembles Thomas physically. Is he right? Is there any humanity left in Thomas? Either way, there’s an epic showdown between Killer Frost and Icicle at the end of this episode.

Nora & Iris

As Sherloque and Iris look for the core, Nora makes the case a bit difficult by wanting to spend time with her mother and get to know her. Who can really blame her? Needn’t to worry. They’re with the best detective in the multiverse. Sherloque comes up with a clever plan to both find the core and simultaneously bring Nora and Iris closer. It’s some solid time for the mother and future daughter to bond. For Nora’s entire life, she’s only seen Iris as a one-dimensional human being through this narrow prism. Finally, Nora is beginning to see Iris for who she is. Who she’s been throughout The Flash. It’s understandable that she would have bitterness towards her mother for putting a power dampening device in her, but as Nora spends more time with her father in action, she understands her mother’s decision in the future.

Ralph, Cecile, & Cicada

At this point, the people in the writers’ room (in “The Icicle Cometh,” it’s Kristen Kim, Joshua V. Gilbert, Thomas Pound, Lauren Certo, and Sterling Gates, but writers cycle through fairly regularly in the Arrowverse) are gathering characters that haven’t spent much time together and throwing them in situations just to see how they interact, seemingly for entertainment’s sake. Case in point: Ralph and Cecile’s side quest for the core crash site. Ralph helps Cecile get her “mojo” back, making a case that he is, perahps, the most reliable sidekick in the Arrowverse. Together, they go to FEMA and using her the combination of her DA leverage and her newfound empath abilities to obtain a list of bodies on the night of the crash and zero in on the location of site. They discover that this timeline’s Cicada, Orlin Dwyer’s daughter’s name is Grace Gibbons (Islie Hirvonen).

Meanwhile, Cicada finds out from his only ally, Doctor Ambres (Lossen Chambers), who is taking care of both him and his daughter, that his health is deteriorating. Upon collapsing, we realize that his health is, in fact, in dire straits.

Conclusion: So Many Subplots

It isn’t so much that this episode 6 of The Flash is difficult to follow, but rather, each storyline doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Thomas Snow’s character could’ve been explored further, Nora and Iris could have spent more time playing detective together, Ralph and Cecile’s arc this episode oddly got more attention than it needed to get, and Cicada’s arc, as has been the case all season, is incredibly slow and uneventful. We do find out, however, that the dark matter that’s killing Cicada is also making him stronger.

Episode 7 – “O Come, All Ye Thankful”

The punny episode titles in the Arrowverse never get old. Am I right? Alright, maybe whoever is tasked with naming these episodes is running out of steam, but they’ve got fifteen more episodes in this season of The Flash to redeem themselves with some more clever episode titles. Barry does something incredibly bold in episode 7 in visiting Grace Gibbons in the hospital, searching for her father. He almost has a run-in with Cicada, but Doctor Ambres lies on Cicada’s behalf, falsifying Dwyer’s medical records, and deters Barry.

First Thanksgiving At The Loft

It’s a family affair at Barry and Iris’s loft this Thanksgiving. Nora and Iris are now inseparable. Nora has an opportunity to spend her first Thanksgiving with her parents together. Nora and Iris “reminisce” about when Barry created Flashpoint. It’s an important display of differing perspectives. In the future, Nora experiences all of Barry’s heroic feats via The Flash Museum. However, Iris experienced the events first-hand, and, to her, the stakes were much more real. They aren’t fond memories, but rather, many of them, stressful events that nearly ended Barry’s life. The museum curators, much like many historians, have, unwittingly or not, engaged in revisionist history and left out some of the less heroic details of Barry’s exploits. Time has a funny way of morphing the facts.

Hilariously, Sherloque can’t decipher between Thanksgiving, a day of celebrating loved ones and gorging oneself with food, between any other day in America. The culture clashes that Nora and Sherloque undergo are a big part of the humor in Season 5 of The Flash. Part of Sherloque’s bitterness towards Thanksgiving is the fact that he doesn’t have a family. So, naturally, he joins Team Flash at the loft.

The Flash & XS In Action

During an everyday Flash endeavor, Nora accompanies Barry as XS to assist some workers in distress at a factory hit by a severe storm. Barry’s heart stops, and Nora barely saves him. For the first time, she realizes the magnitude of the stakes every time Barry suits up as The Flash. This also introduces two new big bads: Joss Mardon, or Weather Witch (Reina Hardesty), and her father Mark Mardon, or Weather Wizard ( Liam McIntyre). In the mainstream comic book arc “New Earth,” Weather Witch was a former prostitute in Gotham City transformed by the Penguin into a member of the Intergang (Bruno Mannheim’s former gang, which was just name dropped in Supergirl) rivals New Rogues. In short, she can manipulate the weather. Joss is an amalgamation of Josh Jackam in the comics and Weather Witch. She’s a meteorologist-turned-supervillain in The Flash, not a prostitute-turned-supervillain.

So, Joss attempts to break Mark out of Iron Heights, nearly injuring Barry and Nora in the process. Instead of risking their lives again, Team Flash conjures up a plan to bring Weather Wizard to Weather Witch, projecting a hologram in front of Joss, prompting her to drop a truck on the spot where he stands, nearly killing Barry. Nora witnesses her father almost die one time too many. Surprisingly, she wants Barry to retire as The Flash, as she fears that the future prophecy will come true and Barry will inevitably die. Again, the future isn’t set in stone, and if Nora has proven anything with her arrival, it’s that this timeline is more fixed, as opposed to soft, than Team Flash previously anticipated, making Nora’s existence in the present having potential far-reaching ramifications on the future in The Flash.

Cicada Humanized

In other news, “O Come, All Ye Thankful” is a big Cicada backstory episode. The viewer learns more about Orlin Dwyer, this timeline’s Cicada, than they have in each of the first six episodes of The Flash combined. Originally, David Hersch was supposed to be Cicada, but when Nora as XS helped The Flash punch DeVoe’s satellite out of orbit, it changed the trajectory of the crash, making Dwyer the timeline’s new victim. Dwyer was a hapless factory employee at Szrek Chemicals when his sister died as a result of a metahuman attack and he learned that he had to take care of his niece, Grace. Grace starts acting up in school after learning from Dwyer’s problematic behavior, which includes angry outbursts.

Dwyer’s solution is to move into an abandoned house, which he suspiciously describes to Grace as his cousin Robbie’s former house, and fix it up together, along with a much smaller project, a doll house, which, as we find out in the present day, never gets finished. It’s a rather heavy-handed allegory for their relationship. Just when Dwyer and Grace begin bonding like a proper father and daughter, the debris from the satellite crash injures him and his daughter.

Conclusion: Thanksgiving At Last

Sherloque eventually convinces Caitlin and Cisco that Thanksgiving is, indeed, a phony holiday. Nonetheless, they head to the loft and celebrate with Team Flash. Only, Joe and Cecile are absent, having gone to spend the holiday with Cecile’s family. For Nora, it took seeing her father risk his life to save the lives of innocent bystanders and defeat Weather Witch for her to realize that, sometimes, it is necessary for a superhero to save lives, even if it means risking their life and leaving their family behind. Finally, Cicada receives a full origin story, which, arguably, should have happened sooner in this season of The Flash. And finally, with the help of Sherloque, Team Flash finally finds out that Cicada’s name is Orlin Dwyer.

Episode 8 – “What’s Past Is Prologue”

It’s the 100th episode of The Flash, a gigantic feat for any television show. And it does not short on the action nor the story. Now that Team Flash is fresh on Dwyer’s tail, a showdown between them and Cicada is inevitable. With Cisco’s four satellites and Sherloque’s master detective work, they easily uncover everything there is to know about Dwyer. He’s a loner. He works a dead-end job at Szrek Chemicals. He hates metahumans. At this point in the season, viewers may have noticed that Jesse L. Martin has been absent as Joe. As aforementioned, the writers wrote him off in the previous Thanksgiving episode by spending the holiday with Cecile’s family. However, there is a very legitimate reason for Martin‘s absence: his health. Fortunately, it’s nothing serious, but Martin suffered a back injury over the show’s hiatus. Martin can be seen either leaning or sitting down in much of Season 5 prior to his leave. A studio rep told TV Line, “We wish him a full and speedy recovery and look forward to his return as Detective Joe West.” For how long Martin will be absent from The Flash has yet to be determined, but the show will address it at some point.

A Power Dampening Dagger Power Dampener

Perhaps the best name yet given to either a metahuman or piece of meta-technology in The Flash, and, surprisingly, not coined by Cisco, but rather, Ralph, of all people, who persistently tries and fails to name things as good as Cisco does. Let’s let Ralph have this one just this once. Why does this matter, really? Well, it’s the key to taking down Cicada, of course. Once Team Flash is able to render his dagger useless, they can, theoretically, take Cicada down. And so, with assistance from Nora’s secretive time travel book, she recommends that Team Flash makes a power dampening dagger power dampener. They need something more powerful than Cicada’s connection to the dagger. So, they need a supercharged magnet. An “indestructible alloy that has super-magnetic properties but also has the ability to negate dark matter.”

Subsequently, Nora helps Team Flash analyze the past as a puzzle. They already have the pieces that fit perfectly to create the device they need to hypothetically defeat Cicada. A strong alloy with magnetic properties: Savitar’s (Gustin) suit. Something to remove dark matter: the speed force transmitter that Zoom (Teddy Sears) used to steal Barry’s speed. Since that was the speed force, and those were exotic particles, which, according to Nora, are basically the same thing as dark matter, they would basically need to infuse the transmitter with the same kind of dark matter as the particle accelerator to recalibrate the particles. Nora insists that, since these are all discarded objects in the past, that this won’t affect the timeline. Place your bets, because odds are that this decision will cause drastic changes on this very fixed timeline in The Flash.

Nora’s Journal & Back To The Future

Team Flash plans to plant the device near the hospital in the past so that it’s available in the future, attempting to limit the affects on the timeline. Barry doesn’t want Nora to go, for her own safety. Savitar. Zoom. These are formidable villains that could easily kill both of them should they interfere with the past. Iris encourages Barry to let Nora tag along on this adventure to the past. Meanwhile, Sherloque, being the inquisitive person he is, takes a peak at Nora’s journal, only to find that it’s written in the same language that Barry was speaking and writing in when he came out of the speed force at the beginning of Season 4 of The Flash. In the comics, this language is Interlac, the universal language used in the 30th century, when Nora, named Dawn in comic book canon, was conceived during her father’s retirement. She and her twin brother, Don, inherited but a fraction of Barry’s superspeed, often making them envious of their father’s abilities.

Interlac has been seen in two episodes of Supergirl. Although, in the comics, Barry and Iris move to the 30th century, it’s unlikely that’s the case in this storyline, as Nora is an only child supposedly from the 22nd century. The Interlac in the television series is a language used in the future specifically for time, the unofficial official language of the speed force, and therefore the one used by Nora in the journal. In fact, Nora claims to have invented the language. Who is she sending messages to, though? The big reveal in “What’s Past Is Prologue” is that she’s communicating with none other than longtime The Flash villain Eobard Thawne (Matt Letscher portrays the real Thawne in certain past versions; Tom Cavanagh plays Thawne in most timelines, as Thawne took Harrison Wells’s identity on Earth 1 to work with Team Flash at S.T.A.R. Labs).

Thawne, or the Reverse-Flash, killed Barry’s mother Nora (Michelle Harrison) and framed his father Henry Allen (John Wesley Shipp). He’s responsible for almost every major event in the series including Flashpoint. Thawne most recently appeared in a fear-induced hallucination at Arkham Asylum in Gotham City in the “Elseworlds” crossover event. As Nora/XS’s mentor, Thawne is back as the potential evil mastermind pulling the proverbial strings of the various marionettes that make up the heartbeat of this season of The Flash, all from an Iron Heights prison cell in 2049. What are Thawne’s motives this time? He’s back in his century, so the back to the future plotline won’t cut it this time. Is Nora really Barry and Iris’s daughter? Or could she be Thawne’s daughter? Whatever the answers are, they are going to rock the show to its core, pardon the pun. “The teaser at the end is gonna rock the season and the series, being that Eobard Thawne is not only around still, but potentially working with Nora in some capacity,” Gustin told E! News. “I can only imagine it’s gonna be pretty ugly.

Tom Cavanagh, Renaissance Man

Cavanagh makes his third directorial effort in The Flash behind episode 19 of Season 3, titled, “The Once and Future Flash,” and episode 4 of Season 4, titled, “Elongated Journey Into Night,” and they’ve all been markedly action-packed. So, what did Cavanagh have to say about the big reveal in episode 8? “I think that Batman works best when Joker could show up, or Lex Luthor could show up for Superman,” he told E! News. “And for us, having the shadow of Reverse-Flash as the archenemy somewhere near Barry or just coming over him, I think that’s a good thing for our show, and also for my bank account.” There you have it. The Flash just isn’t The Flash without his number 1 villain, I suppose.

Conclusion: Close, But No Cicada

Surprise! The masterplan to create and use a power dampening dagger power dampener didn’t work. Well, it did, but only for a moment. Remember, Cicada is growing more powerful by the moment. He retrieves his dagger, Vibed into outer space by Cisco, and nearly kills Barry only to be defeated by Killer Frost. Oh yeah, apparently Cicada can fly? Or at least leap very high and far into the air. In other news, Sherloque deciphers a message from Nora’s journal that reads “the timeline is malleable.” It isn’t, as we’ve come to learn, so malleable, or soft, but rather, quite fixed. Nora genuinely seems to care about her supposed parents, Barry and Iris. If she does have ill intentions in The Flash, she is doing a fantastic job of hiding it.

The Flash, Season 5, Month 2: Wrap-Up

For the sake of steady storytelling, Cicada isn’t going down that easily, with two-thirds of this season of The Flash left. There’s still much more character development for showrunners Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns to explore for the villain. Furthermore, it will be interesting to see how Thawne comes back into play as the main villain in The Flash, particularly in relation to Nora. Thawne has historically been obsessed with the Allens and the superspeed gene. He even recreated the particle accelerator explosion to give himself superspeed. However, when he learned that his fate was to be the villain of The Flash, he grew to despise Barry Allen. Thawne has tried to prevent Barry from obtaining his powers to no avail.

This isn’t the first time Thawne was mentioned this season in The Flash. As aforementioned, he was indirectly referenced in episode 6, “The Icicle Cometh,” when Thomas Snow mentions that he experimented with cryogenic gene therapy with the help of Victor Fries and Harrison Wells, who, as we learned in Season 2, is actually Eobard Thawne in disguise. Again, Thawne has left his mark far and wide on The Flash, and it doesn’t look like the showrunners are planning to change that dynamic. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Sort of. Sure, Thawne is a formidable villain, but it would be nice to see a new face pulling the strings in the timeline. In the meantime, before Thawne becomes the central focus of The Flash again, Cicada’s presence seems like a mere distraction from Nora and Thawne’s arc.

Things are certainly heating up in month 2 just in time for them to cool off during the holiday break. Among the various storylines in The Flash this month are Cicada gaining power while simultaneously losing health, Nora West-Allen using her time traveling journal to communicate with her mentor, Thawne, but appearing genuine in bonding with Barry and Iris in the present timeline, Sherloque’s suspicion of Nora, Joe’s absence, and Cisco and Caitlin’s rediscovering of their dual selves. Caitlin lost harmony with Killer Frost after the final showdown with DeVoe. Ever since then, she hasn’t been able to control when and where Killer Frost decides to show herself. Similarly, Cisco’s powers were dampened when his hands were cut by Cicada’s dagger. The loss of superpowers has prompted each of them on a journey of self-discovery; Caitlin looks to her past in search of her father and Cisco relearns why he got involved in S.T.A.R. Labs in the first place: to belong to a family and contribute to a greater good, whether using metahuman abilities or not.

**Note: Episode 9 of The Flash, titled, “Elseworlds, Part 1,” is the first part of a trilogy comprising of the Arrowverse‘s annual crossover television event. Part two aired on Arrow and part three aired on Supergirl. As with most crossover events, the plot of the episode is largely unrelated to the larger arcs developed in The Flash this season.**

Which character or storyline are you invested in the most on The Flash? What are your thoughts on Chris Klein’s performance as Cicada? Do you prefer Tom Cavanagh as Sherloque or any of the other fourteen iterations of Harrison Wells? Do you think Nora is “good” or “evil?”

The Flash airs on Tuesdays at 8 PM. Episode 10, “The Flash & The Furious,” will air on January 15, 2019. For more information on this season’s episode air dates, click here.
