Memorabilia [5.12] - Episode Discussion [January 29th, 2019]

[5.12] MEMORABILIA
ϟ EPISODE DISCUSSION ϟ



ϟ BARRY AND IRIS LOOK INTO NORA’S MEMORIES ϟ
When Sherloque (Tom Cavanagh) wants to use a memory machine on Barry (Grant Gustin) and Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) to help gain access to Grace’s memories, Nora panics, fearing her parents will find out the secrets she’s been keeping from them. Nora secretly decides to use the machine on her own which ends in disaster after she gets trapped inside Grace’s mind. Barry and Iris go in after their daughter and Iris is brokenhearted by what she finds. Meanwhile, Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) tricks Cisco (Carlos Valdes) into going out for a night out on the town.
Rebecca Johnson directed the episode written by Sam Chalsen & Kristen Kim (#512).

- Awww, WestAllen Family skating night

- Iris is going to start the Central City Citizen!

- Sherloque with the Jervis Tetch shout-out

- Nora has the portable Gideon wrist band that Eobard had in Season 1

- Barry’s all excited about the Flash museum!

- Nora’s defense mechanism is Reverse Flash? There’s a lot to unpack there, Nora…

- If Cicada is still around in the future, does that mean Grace takes over the mantle?

Random theory: Since Grace has that little shard of meta-tech in her head, is it possible that her thoughts are what’s controlling Cicada? She seemed to have a lot of anger for metas because of what happened to her parents. What if that’s somehow being directed into the dagger and/or her Uncle?

- With the CCC Newspaper being founded in 2019 instead of 2021, does that mean the date on the headline can change too?

- I’m glad that Future!Iris wasn't the way Nora portrayed her to be

- No, Barry – you’re not allowed to force the cure on Cicada (and if my theory is correct, it's actually GRACE who's the bad guy).

This ep was much better than last week's.

I hope the writers can see that having WA front & center in an ep (being the A plot) is what makes an ep interesting & watchable. They should also take notes that the B plot should not revolve around boring characters (*cough*KF*cough*).

So glad to see WA upfront & center this ep; it was sorely lacking in the last several eps. Barry supporting Iris,telling her to pursue her dream, & telling her that she's gonna be a great mom; those are the moments I live for-the heart of the show.

When will Sherloque tell WA that their daughter is up to some shady business? Her continuing to hide the truth from both of them is getting on my nerves, & for me, making her unlikeable.

So it seems that the doctor also has some control over Grace, as well. What was she putting on her head? Something to enhance her dark matter capabilities? And it seems that whenever she comes out of her coma, she'll be the new Cicada in the future. Is the doctor grooming her for that now? Maybe Dwyer isn't the cold blooded killer that the doc wants him to be; he's just doing it for his niece. But if she's planting stuff in Grace's head now, she'll have a LOT more hatred stored up, especially if a meta kills her uncle.

Not to end on a sour note, but I'm NOT feeling Cisco's storyline. Why doesn't he want his powers? He used to before, or did that change because of Flashpoint? And as far as his new LI is concerned, they should've brought back Cynthia. Just saying.

I love WA getting main stories too

The doctor was taking the bandages off her head. The glowing orange thing on her forehead is the meta-tech that got lodged in there, just like the orange glowing thing in Orlan's chest.

I think the person in control here is Grace
