The penultimate episode of Season 5 finally revealed Reverse-Flash’s long game, and it used a minor plot detail to pull it off.
Despite the fact that he’s imprisoned and set for execution in the future after seemingly forming a genuine connection with Nora, the man behind the Reverse-Flash mask is Barry’s arch-nemesis for a reason.
The fifth season of The Flash has used Cicada and then Cicada II as the big bads, but the mere presence of Eobard Thawne has meant fans wondering what he has up his sleeve.
