The penultimate episode of
The Flash season five is shaping up to be quite an event, as the Scarlet Speedster and Team Flash are put on high alert when Cicada II (Sarah Carter) threatens to unleash a dangerous virus that could threaten the lives of every meta in Central City.
With only two episodes left in the season, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that the Cicada conflict could be resolved next week, especially considering the fact that the synopsis for the season finale did confirm a final showdown between The Flash and the Reverse-Flash (Tom Cavanagh).
"The Girl With The Red Lightning" - (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-PG, LV) (HDTV)
CICADA II MAKES HER MOVE - Team Flash is on high alert after Cicada II (guest star Sarah Carter) threatens to unleash a dangerous virus that would put all meta-humans at risk. Stefan Pleszczynski directed the episode written by Judalina Neira & Thomas Pound (#521). Original airdate 5/7/2019.
Matching wits with The Thinker, who by season’s end had harnessed the powers of all twelve bus metas he created, stretched Team Flash to their limits, but with the help of some new allies, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and company were able to put a stop to the Enlightenment and save Central City once again. However, with the arrival of Barry and Iris’ speedster daughter, Nora, who arrived from the future admitting to having made a “big mistake,” things are anything but status quo. Will parenthood be the challenge that finally slows The Flash down?
