Thank god, Team Flash has finally learned their lesson!

But that doesnt mean Iris isnt worrying about anything.

She talks to Joe about this, and he advises that she just focus on keeping herself busy.

While at the scene, she sees Barry and Nora bonding over CSI stuff.

Patton does a fantastic job of conveying how much it stings to see Nora and Barry bonding without her.

Unfortunately, the good cop doesnt remember too much of what happened after the prison transport stopped.

But that doesnt stop this intrepid reporter.

Its great to see her have a life outside of Team Flash.

Unfortunately, Barrys training time with Nora isnt going so well.

Frustrated, Barry turns to Joe for help.

He advises Barry just show Nora that its okay if shes not perfect and that hell still love her.

Joes advice helps Cecile out, too.

Hearing what Joe has to say that not being perfect isnt a failure helps her get over that.

What I loved about this particular storyline is that it packed an emotional punch even in limited screen time.

Of course, this doesnt help at all.

Clearly, theres more going on here than just the fact that Nora spent her entire life with Iris.

Barry and Nora speed out to confront Vanessa, who manages to trap Barry in one of her blocks.

Something about that moves him and he simply gets up and leaves.

Look at those reporting skills coming in handy!

Everyone realizes that it sounds like, well, cicadas and Nora recognizes that name.

Overall, this was a strong follow-up to the excellentseason premiere.

Jessica Parker Kennedy continues to charm as Nora, and Iris and Ceciles storylines helped ground the episode.

Furthermore, I especially enjoyed Cicadas introduction, which was genuinely frightening.

Even thoughChris Kleinbarely said a word, he managed to establish himself as a real threat to the team.
