Spoiler Alert!
Hello guys and welcome to a brand new The Flash rant!
I have a few things to say about this episode so let's jump right into it.
Overall, it was a good episode but it left me a bit underwhelmed. The whole thing about this episode was the idea to go into Nora's mind, see her memories and find out about what she's hiding and, throughout the whole episode, they made us believe that we were going to get some payoff but... It never arrives. I understand that this is a little early to get answers in that department, but you really made us believe that Barry and Iris were going to find out something about Nora and they never do. That's the downside of this episode. Good thing is, this episode also gave us a lot of hints about other stuff so it kind of redeemed itself.
So, they get right on with Barry's plan to wake Grace up in a way to 'stop' Cicada and, for once, it looks like everything is aligned. Sherloque proposes a method in which they can enter Grace's memories and wake her up from there. The thing is, Sherloque has another intention with this and, as a precaution, he says that two people have to enter Grace's mind in order to be safe and, right away, he suggests Nora and Barry, which Barry agrees right away (Sherloque always having in mind that Barry might find something in Nora's memories, because that is a possibility). Of course, Nora is afraid about what Barry might find and, when she gets the chance to get inside Grace's mind by herself, she takes it, without thinking in the consequences (as she often does). Obviously things go sour and that's when Barry and Iris have to intervene and go to Grace's mind as well but, instead of Grace's memories, they end up in Nora's memories.
This thing about Nora's memories was actually nice because we got so see the Flash Museum, which was something that I was curious about.
As you can imagine, they have a lot of problems, not only Barry and Iris but also Nora and Grace, in Grace's memories but eventually Barry and Iris find the two girls, just in time to discover that Grace shares her uncle's anti-meta views, ending up attacking Nora.
Thankfully, they are able to get back to the real world, without Grace though, and that's when Caitlin reveals that Grace has some Dark Matter around her brain and that they can't go back to her mind.
This was the main story-line of the episode but there were other little things that were quite interesting about this episode, such as Iris creating her newspaper - Central City Citizen - which Nora reveals was only founded in 2021 and so Iris is changing the future.
Also, Cisco makes some headway on the meta cure, which Barry decides to use on Cicada.
The whole thing with Grace also brought some things to my mind and now I think that Cicada isn't really the big bad in this episode but Grace is! We saw something in Nora's memories about Cicada never dying and something tells me that he does, but Grace take's his place and keeps on killing metas. That's my prediction for now.
Let me know your predictions and I'll see you guys in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.
