Failure Is an Orphan begins with Nora traveling to 2049 to visit our favorite evil speedster, Eobard Thawne.

Whats interesting about this opening exchange, though, is what it suggests aboutNora and Thawnes relationship.

Either way, I liked how that one nickname added a few more layers to his partnership.

Luckily, Nora eventually realizes how insensitive shes being and promises to make each moment they have left matter.

Thankfully, Killer Frost breaches in and scares Cicada off.

Perhaps appealing to his human side is the key.

And God, I just loved their entire scene together.

This time, the teamwork pays off and they convince her to arrange a meeting with Dwyer.

Although Team Flash wasnt prepared for this, the information proves useful when Barry confronts Cicada once again.

So Barry and Cicada return to S.T.A.R.

Labs, where Dr. Ambres puts him under and administers the cure.

And its immediately clear that this cosplayer differs from the original flavor Cicada.

She can shoot poorly rendered energy blasts from her hands and she has not one, but two daggers.

Yes, you read that right.

Either way, Team Flash must now contend with Orlin Dwyers legacy.

I wonder what Thawne has to say about this.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

Furthermore, the Grace reveal works because it ties into the seasons concern with legacy.
