The Flash Season 5 Episode 22 serves as the show's season finale, so things will be surely intense this time. True to its title, "Legacy," it may leave something important to viewers as Barry (Grant Gustin) is about to face his biggest enemy, Eobard Thawne (Rick Cosnett).
It will be an epic showdown of The Flash and the Reverse Flash in The Flash Season 5 Episode 22. "Barry faces off with his oldest and most formidable nemesis, Reverse Flash," "Legacy" official synopsis read.
Barry will do everything to save lives and time as he faces Reverse Flash for the last time in The Flash Season 5 Episode 22. According to CarterMatt, the show's writers did a good job by threading everything this season.
With the hype surrounding Cicada, the writers were able to conceal Reverse Flash's return and made a surprise appearance at the end of the season's first part. Although it was quite expected that he would make a comeback, it remained to be seen how and when it would happen at the time.
As the show managed to bring Reverse Flash effortlessly, an epic fight is about to happen in The Flash Season 5 Episode 22. The battle is said to be setting the stage for what is about to come in Season 6.
Meanwhile, Cicada may not play a big part in The Flash Season 5 Episode 22. "Legacy" may feature a blast from the past. Thawnes seems to have the chance to escape from his prison cell to terrorize Barry once again to ignite the epic fight.
Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) may have something to do with the impending fight after the Negative Speed Force has corrupted her. It may be Thawne's plan from the start to begin an epic battle to be free and cause more trouble for everyone.
As The Flash is going to establish a showdown with Reverse Flash in The Flash Season 5 Episode 22, it may be a hint that Thawne will not be The Flash Season 6's new big bad. The writers may be moving away from that possibility to give Red Death the chance to enter the scene and be the new villain.
Although it remains to be seen how could that happen, there could be a "speed-corrupted," alternate-universe that Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) may appear to tell a new story after Arrows wraps up. The Flash Season 5 Episode 22, titled "Legacy," would be out on Tuesday, May 14, on The CW.
