She denies him trust, but agrees to help him. As an ominous clock counts down, he explains he doesn’t have much time and asks for her trust. Speaking of Nora, she returns to 2049 to once again visit with Thawne. Her sudden remorse comes out of nowhere, but it does work in terms of bolstering Nora’s development. After all, she just tried to kill her dad, all while threatening the life of anyone who got in her way.
As the re-powered Barry later notes, Nora now has her own Leonard Snart.įurther Reading: What Crisis on Infinite Earths Means for DC TV and Moviesīut, unlike Snart, Joss’ slight turn to the light side seems to come a little too fast and feels unearned. But instead of giving herself up, Weather Witch escapes with Silver Ghost.
Weather Witch seems to accept and creates a slate of ice that causes the car to slide past XS. Raya targets the cloaked car straight at XS as the speedster apologizes to Weather Witch, and offers her another shot at redemption. Silver Ghost - using a pretty amusing emoji-controlled weapons system which launches missiles, cloaks, and phases - incapacitates XS. and make off with the Wayne Tech supercar for a joyride – of villainy! But Killer Frost and XS are in pursuit. Sure enough, Silver Ghost and Weather Witch bust into A.R.G.U.S. Much to her surprise, Barry believes even Eobard Thawne could rehabilitate given enough time. He said it’s how Leonard Snart became a Legend and a hero. Barry tells his daughter that all people have good in them and possess a potential to change for the better. Nora has a heart-to-heart with Barry, still in his dampening cell (and reading the romance novel “Uncaged Desire,” written by one Mick Rory under the pseudonym Rebecca Silver). More importantly, Iris reveals to Nora that Joss has no connection to the new villain, and thus, likely is not in cahoots with her. With her meta-tech-infused weather staff back in hand, Joss becomes Weather Witch once more and agrees to help Silver Ghost.Īs this is taking place, Iris acquires Raya/Silver Ghost’s military file, revealing she was a scapegoat for a failed operation and dishonorably discharged. Joss turns down the offer and instead gives herself up to XS in the hopes the hero will vouch for her to the police.īut bad guys and gals never change in Nora’s mind, so she dumps Joss back at CCPD without speaking up for her and she is once again imprisoned – and once again sprung by a determined Silver Ghost, who says she’s the only one around offering the young woman a second chance… at crime. to steal some bleeding edge tech (which turns out to be a $24 million Wayne Tech-designed car, or “mobile,” if you’d prefer). Joss actually steps up in court and admits guilt.īut it’s not straight off to prison for Weather Witch because Silver Ghost intervenes in a prison transport, breaks Joss loose, and reveals she’s getting a band together of Young Rogues because “there’s been enough old men running this town.��� She also wants Joss’s help on a job to break into A.R.G.U.S.
Both speedsters leave the trial to stop the theft, and The Flash’s powers are thrown out of whack when he touches the meta-tech-infected vehicle, leaving him filled with unstable dark energy and unable to control his phasing.Īs an aside, how foolish is it of Barry to leave a trial where his testimony could convict a meta-criminal simply to address motor vehicle theft, especially before he knew it was perpetrated by a villain? Couldn’t XS have handled it on her own? And what kind of a city throws a District Attorney into court on her first day back without giving her time to prepare her case? SO many questions!Īnyway, with Barry held in a power dampening cell in the pipeline for 24 hours as his powers re-stabilize, Nora testifies as CSI in his stead, and she unloads her pent-up Thawne anger on Weather Witch – despite Cecile wanting to go easy on Joss after sensing remorse via her super-empathy. In another part of the city, Silver Ghost makes her debut with a meta-tech key fob that allows her to control vehicles, which she uses to steal a Lamborghini. Returning to the present, Barry heads to court with Nora to testify as Central City CSI against Weather Witch - which coincides with Cecile’s first day back after giving birth. But Thawne is seemingly regretful for his evil ways.įurther Reading: Everything You Need to Know About The Flash Season 5 Nora had been working with Thawne in the form of relays in another language, but she now feels betrayed. The installment begins by setting up an emotional struggle for Nora, who confronts the imprisoned Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash in 2049 about murdering her grandmother, picking up from his surprise return in the 100th episode (still looking like Harrison Wells following “Crisis on Earth-X”).
