The flash season 5 episode 12 full#
They see the struggles of Nora as a young girl which brings her conflict with Iris and Barry full circle. While this episode creates several conflicted emotions about Nora’s fears and mistakes, for Iris and Barry, it’s simply sad. Even her decision to go into Grace’s memory alone is a great mistake, which leads to the revelation that Grace has heard everything that Cicada has been saying throughout the season and that she is just as angry as he is and will eventually follow in her uncle’s footsteps.
This creates a very conflicted viewing experience for this episode because there’s the urge to keep Nora safe and let her decide when to come clean with everyone, but she needs that push to begin to reconcile her mistakes.
As much as we care about Nora at this point, there’s also the fact that she’s involved with Reverse-Flash, so at some point that has to be found out by Barry and Iris. Nora’s fear of her being found out is an intriguing mindset for the character to be in and it makes for a conflicted viewing. The best parts of the entirety of season 5 of The Flash have definitely been the Allen family drama and the Cicada conflicts, so to have both functioning in conjunction here is the best-case scenario for this season.
