- Title: The Flash – Legacy
- wiki: link
There’s quite a bit happening in the show’s season finale which says farewell to two heroes, ends the season-long threat of Cicada, and brings back the show’s most notorious villain. Faced with the choice to destroy the dagger and save Grace (Islie Hirvonen), thus releasing Reverse-Flash (Tom Cavanagh) from his imprisonment, or forgo saving the girl in order to stop Thawne from returning, Team Flash chooses to help the innocent. The quandary proves to be the most interesting aspect of the season-long arc, although the show never really explains how it is related to Thawne’s countdown? Anyway, destroying the dagger has the expected effect to altering the future timeline, restoring the Reverse-Flash’s powers… and wiping Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) out of existence.

Both “Godspeed” and “Snow Pack” deal with Team Flash’s discovery that Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) has been working with the Reverse-Flash (Tom Cavanagh). Barry (Grant Gustin) doesn’t take the news well, and his reaction to returning Nora to her own time sets forth a series of events that strains his relationship with his wife and forces Nora even closer to Thawne and down a darker path. “Godspeed” fills in the gaps of Nora’s storyline offering a glimpse of her future life, and how the threat of a speedster and the discovery of her own powers lead her to seeking help from the Reverse-Flash. Although much of this information had been revealed to audiences, the news is still shocking to Barry and his friends with more detail provided about the timing of Nora’s discoveries and her return to the past.

- Title: The Flash – Time Bomb

Team Flash may have defeated one Cicada (Chris Klein), but a new one has arrived from the future to continue her uncle’s work. “Time Bomb” reveals the new meta-human killer to be Grace Gibbons (Sarah Carter) who has a lifetime of hatred boiling inside her, and her first target is the meta-human (Catherine Lough Haggquist) responsible for her parents’ death. I’ve always like Carter, and her casting helps lessen the disappointing blow that the Cicada storyline is going to continue further into the season after it had apparently finally reached a merciful end. However, the episode’s subplot involving Sherloque Wells‘ (Tom Cavanagh) unraveling Nora‘s (Jessica Parker Kennedy) secret thankfully looks to take precedence for at least the short term.

Mystery, Inc. heads to Central City to help investigate an appearance of the ghost of a super-villain who recently returned. However, Scooby-Doo and the gang weren’t called in by the Flash (who apparently is off-world with the Justice League) but instead by his most notorious foes – The Rogues.
