This is a noticeable weakness with the plot. That fight occurs after Team Flash determine the best way to save the metas from being killed by Cicada is to transport them away from Central City, and get them into witness protection, with new identities. It is clear Flash has had it with the baddie, and there is an extra layer of ferocity in Gustin’s fighting style in the episode – even if Cicada depowers him, and wipes the floor with Flash as the hero tries to save Peek-a-Boo. The rage even registers in an energy build-up in Flash’s suit. In fact, Nora’s injury fires up a murderous rage in Barry, so much so that Cecile’s empath powers picks up on it (and she comments it’s the same rage she senses in Cicada). Jessica Parker Kennedy acts the hell out of Nora’s reaction to not being able to walk, and she gives the episode a believable weight. Gustin and Candice Patton deliver a performance here that resembles two parents grappling with an injured child, and parents who then must deliver that news to Nora. Labs when Barry and Iris grapple with the fact that their daughter is paralyzed, at least until her body clears itself of dark energy, and her accelerated healing kicks in. This leads to an emotional punch back at S.T.A.R. Unfortunately, Cicada also goes all Bane on XS, and breaks the speedster’s back in a painful-to-watch scene.
