The good news is that the Cicada conflict as it's existed since the beginning of The Flash Season 5 is over. The problem is that this week's episode doesn't do much to suggest the next phase will be much different (or better). The buildup to Barry's final confrontation with Orlin Dwyer was strong, especially in terms of the Nora./Iris relationship. Unfortunately, the anticlimactic ending and predictable plot twist managed to end things on a very sour note. The series needs to quickly find a way of distancing the new Cicada from her predecessor.
