Contains spoilers for The Flash Season 5, Episode 3.

So far, The Flash's fifth season has already introduced us to the Scarlet Speedster's time-travelling daughter, updated the titular hero's attire and given us an in-depth look at this year's Big Bad. However, that was only the beginning of what was yet to come.

Following on from last week's episode, 'The Death of Vibe' saw Team Flash switch gears to focus primarily on taking down Cicada before his reign of terror claimed more lives. The decision was based upon some troubling information that Nora provided her team with and it led to the introduction of an unforgettable new character. However, Cicada was on a similar hunt, attempting to track down his next victim: Vibe.

We also learned a little more about Caitlin's past, thanks to the reintroduction of her frosty mother, and she received assistance from a rather unlikely source.

All in all, the third episode of the season proved to be another strong addition, giving us some much-needed clarity while posing us with even more questions. It wasn't all perfect, but it was a darn good outing. Contains spoilers.

First the positives...
