The Flash season 5 finale live stream: Watch Legacy online
By Zoe West
How can you watch the season 5 finale of The Flash online?
So did Ralph manage to save Cicada’s dagger in the present, and foil Eobard Thawne’s plans for the future? That’s the real question that the season 5 finale of The Flash needs to answer. The Flash sold Cicada as the main villain for the season consistently throughout, but the main character to support that idea was Nora. Destroying the dagger was a logical way to render the original Cicada at least mostly harmless. If Orlin ever had any innate powers as Cicada he never showed them. But Grace has the two other knives at least, and in more recent episodes she has some other, less earthbound, powers, The lightning, or flame type thing she could project from her hands wasn’t exactly the same as the dagger, but it did have a rather similar effect.
However, things got suspicious once we learned that Nora had been working with/learning from Thawne, and he was actually the one who sent her back in time. he might have presented an innocent face for almost the entire season, but Thawne hasn’t earned any benefit if the doubt. And he ultimately didn’t earn any in season 5.
The promo for the season finale it certainly seems like the fight against Cicada and against the Reverse Flash are linked. That’s kind of ironic, because their plan to fight Cicada, almost the entire time, has been to destroy the dagger. Now, to stop Thawne, they have to save it. If Ralph was unable to stop Barry from blasting it in episode 21 that would get even more complicated, and likely involve time travel in some form or another.
