Contains spoilers from The Flash Season 5, episode 4.

Last week's instalment of The Flash proved to be yet another strong outing from the show that has been on a roll since returning to The CW for its fifth season. The episode saw Cicada target Vibe as Nora West-Allen learned more basics about being a superhero, and the writers finally introduced another Harrison Wells, known as Sherloque.

The latest episode, 'News Flash' took all of those things further, with some members of Team Flash getting a little closer to catching Cicada, the episode also shed some light on Nora's relationship with her parents, and why she doesn't seem to be fond of her mother, Iris. In doing so, it opened up a major can of worms that the writers will have great fun exploring over the next few months.

All in all, this week's episode was another incredibly strong offering that was undeniably a lot of fun. By sidelining one of its main plot threads, it added some much-needed depth to the other, and that actually makes 'News Flash' an improvement over last week's outing. Contains spoilers.
