The Flash Season 5: What Does The Ending To 'The Girl With The Red Lightning' Really Mean?
2. Cicada's Rampage Isn't Over
While Ralph conducted his investigation in private, Team Flash's main priority was attempting to stop Grace Gibbons a.k.a. Cicada 2.0. from utilising Tannhauser tech to administer a drug that would kill any and all metahumans in Central City. Though they ended up cutting things very close, Cisco successfully managed to disarm the device and save the metas as The Flash, Killer Frost and Elongated Man took out Grace.
While it's true that they won this battle, the war is far from over. Cicada 2.0. is still very much the Big Bad this season and, as she possesses the exact same powers as her uncle, you can rest assured that she'll also have his incredibly annoying habit of just retreating through the roof.
With Team Flash's attention currently on the dagger, Grace will temporarily flee so that she can gather her thoughts. But make no mistake about it - her mission will continue.
In next week's season finale, she will resume her plan of ridding Central City of metahumans, even if she has to do it all on her own. The only question is: Can Team Flash stop her for good this time?
