Spoiler Alert!
Hello everyone!
Here I am, once again, with the brand new The Flash rant, and what an incredible episode!
This episode was important and amazing in so many ways! Not only this was The Flash's 100th episode, it was also directed by Tom Cavanagh but it was also a trip to memory lane! I think they did this perfectly! They had to make this episode kind of special, because of it being the 100th episode of the show, which they did by 'bringing back' a lot of old characters, but in a way that didn't feel forced. It looked like this was the right episode to air right now and not only something special for the 100th episode so I loved that! Besides that, this brought so much tension and mystery and... I just think it did a really good job at keeping me glued to the screen, which is always a good thing.
So, like I said, in this episode Barry and Nora travel back in time and take a trip down memory lane where they cross paths with some of the previous season's villains in order to gather anything they need to stop Cicada.
Obviously I loved the fact that we got to see Zoom again (he was my favorite villain) but the main thing in this episode really was having Tom as Reverse Flash again and all the change that it made not only in this episode but in the rest of this season.
In all the craziness of moving from time period to time period, Barry and Nora end up on the day that Hartley Rathaway attacked, and having to ask Eobard Thawne Wells to help them fix the tech that ended up being broken. Of course he doesn't want to at first, but Barry reminds him that, if he doesn't help them, he won't get back to his time period so Thawne does help them.
Post this, Barry and Nora make their final jump to the night of the Particle Accelerator explosion, avoiding security and getting into the Time Vault, where Barry asks Gideon to reroute part of the Dark Matter to the technology that they got.
That's when a beautiful moment between Barry and Nora happens, when Nora asks Barry why does he hate Eobard so much and Barry finally reveals that he was the one who killed his mother.
The accelerator explodes, affecting Ronnie Raymond, Martin Stein, Clifford DeVoe, the Mardon brothers and Barry himself.
Nora and Barry get what they wanted and quickly run to the hospital where they know Cicada has been going (in the present) every day to visit his nice, hide the tech in the brickwork, and return to to the present day.
Back in present day they decide that it's time to put a stop to Cicada but, as you can expect, things do go accordingly to planned. The device does work, which I wasn't expecting it would, but then we see the mark that Cicada has in his chest being way powerful than what we thought and that 'scar' is able to get back his 'lightning' which is the thing that strip the metas out of their powers. It looks like everything's lost but that's when Killer Frost comes to action and Cicada just leaves. So, does this mean that Killer Frost is the key to stop Cicada?! I wouldn't mind that, though.
And then, to make everything even messier, we finally have a deeper look into what Nora have been hiding.
So she decides to return to 2049, there she goes to Iron Heights to confront Eobard Thawne, who she has been sending 'letters' this whole time! Like, what?! So, is she the one to free him or something and so she goes back in time and kills Barry's mom and so on?! I really don't know what to think about this but I'm so curious to see more because I have a feeling there's way more to this story!
Let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll talk to you on Friday!
Love,
Daniela.
