Everything comes to a head on The FlashSeason 5 Episode 22, “Legacy,” as Eobard Thawne’s season-long plan involving Nora, Cicada, and that magical power draining dagger finally comes to fruition.
We don’t quite know yet what all that entails, however, The Flash Season 5 Episode 21, “The Girl with the Red Lightning,” ended with Ralph realizing that all the business with time travel and multiple Cicadas was Thawne’s doing just as Barry destroyed the dagger that was (apparently?) holding Thawne prisoner in his death penalty cell in the future.
At least…that’s what we think happened?
This season has been so heavy on the time travel and timey wimey twists that it’s extremely likely that we don’t really know the story’s final endgame yet.
But it certainly looks like Barry and Thawne are headed for another showdown of some type.
