They head to CCPD, and we learn that the Irene wants the cure but is also hesitant. Afterward, Irene is concerned about her safety and Sherloque offers a solution to her problem – the cure. Irene is able to use her powers to save herself and Sherloque, while Grace gets away with the quantum tunnel converter. Before he can do this, Cicada 2 arrives and attempts to murder them both with the dagger. Sherloque’dĬonsidering his knowledge of her Meta abilities, Sherloque goes to warn Irene of Cicada 2’s impending attack. Joe confronts her, but she is able to activate the device using the dagger. Cicada 2 arrives at the precinct, which causes the Metas to panic and run away. Cecille gives him a pep talk and Joe eventually manages to calm down the incensed crowd in only a way that Joe could. Cecille confronts Joe about why he’s overwhelmed and he admits that he doesn’t feel equipped to be the boss. Staff at the station struggle to handle the chaos from people showing up for the cure, while Joe takes a breather in the hall. After being bombarded with questions while trying to control the situation, Joe has a mental breakdown due to the stress. They quickly become overwhelmed with an influx of Metas because of the panic that the broadcast creates. They work at CCPD to administer the cure and their efforts are broadcast on the news. She also has some history with Caitlin/Killer Frost.At CCPD, Joe and Cecile convince captain Singh to use the precinct to administer the Meta cure. He is also the husband of Amunet Black, who captured a few of the bus metas in season 4, sold them to The Thinker, and was never seen again. In the comics Goldface is mainly a villain of the Green Lantern, though he does cross paths with The Flash after arriving in Central City. Meanwhile, Iris investigates a lead on Cicada’s whereabouts and ends up in a dangerous situation.Īll indications are that the person they want to buy from in the black market is Goldface, the titular character. Once inside, Barry and Ralph find their morality tested as they slip deeper into the criminal world, eventually having to choose between committing a crime, or losing the means to defeat one of their greatest foes. Should be interesting.īarry and Ralph must go undercover as criminals in an illegal black market to purchase a device that could help them stop Cicada. To do that Barry is going to have to put aside his distaste for crime and help support this ehe would, under different circumstances, rather arrest.

They will also be making use of Ralph’s connections to the less savory side of the community: black markets. And the satellite shard might be part of what allowed Grace to hear everything going on even as she remained in a coma.īecause the…let’s say more traditional… ways of stopping Cicada have failed, Barry and the others are turning to meta-tech, or something like it, in episode 12. Cicada himself relies on his power-dampening dagger, it’s not clear if he himself has any abilities outside his connection to it. So far that tech has shown up almost solely as a danger, Jos’ use of her weatherstaff in episode 10 being the obvious exception.

This season several of the villains have had their power come through meta-tech, various pieces of the satellite that Barry and Nora destroyed last year. That presents a whole bunch of issues, but let’s not get into those right now. Barry told Cisco that he wanted to use the so-called cure to strip Cicada of his powers. Since that failed, it looks like they will be taking more combative stance. And why she does may be important down the road. That didn’t work so well, turns out she held the same anti-meta views as he did.

In last week’s episode they went for the more peaceful track, helping Grace in order to pacify her uncle. Team Flash has not had much luck against Cicada, stopping him or slowing him down. So far The Flash season 5 has felt somewhat futile. Take a look at what’s coming up on The Flash this week.
