History Recap / TheFlash2014S5E3TheDeathOfVibe

* AwesomeByAnalysis: Sherloque is so good that he could deduce Cisco was getting over a break-up in a matter of moments! And during the confrontation with Cicada, he figures out where they are by listening to the crickets and getting told which trees are around.
** Joe is no slouch either. The old pro takes notice on how Cicada goes on and on about family and is able to deduce a lot from that.

* DidntSeeThatComing: Sherloque is flabbergasted that time travel threw off his deductions.

* MadBomber: David Hersch might not have been Cicada, but he is still a terrorist targeting the goverment.

* OnceASeason: It wouldn't be a new season without a new Harrison Wells joining the team. This season's model is Harrison Sherloque Wells -- he's just as insufferable as his [[Franchise/SherlockHolmes namesake]].

* SherlockScan: Sherloque Wells, naturally, does this a lot.

* ShoutOut: Sherloque Wells is a living amalgamation of famous literary detectives -- he's named after Sherlock Holmes, but his general demeanor and detection methods invoke Hercule Poirot.

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Averted. Nora mentions that other heroes Barry was allied with tried to capture Cicada and failed.

* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Cicada has a strange-looking, glowing wound on his body that won't heal.

* Foreshadowing: Accidental kind. Nora mentions that Supergirl even failed at attempting to capture Cicada, possibly foreshadowing next year's crossover episode.

* TheUnreveal: The exact peice Sherloque gave to Team Flash for his services: the most we get of it is that, according to Nora, it was pretty high even for someone from the future.

* WorkOffTheDebt: The reasoning for keepin Sherloque on the team: since he basically scammed them, they're not letting him go until he pays them back.

* HistoryRepeats: Once again, Cisco and another Wells have an... intense relationship.

* MadBomber: David Hersch might not have been Cicada, but he is a terrorist targeting the goverment.
* MythologyGag: Nora casually mentions that the [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica League]] was amongst the heroes who couldn't catch Cicada.

* NervesOfSteel: Joe never shows fear towards Cicada even once while being intimidated and tortured. Only when Cecile appears, he gets nervous.
* NeverMyFault: After being surprised about the fact that the residents version of David Hersch is ''not'' Cicada, instead of admitting that he was lazy and skipped the real detective work, Sherloque scolds Nora for not telling him that Earth-1's timeline is altered.

* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Cicada can use his dagger like this. Justified since he can at the least [[SummonToHand draw his weapon back to his hand]].

* TookALevelInKindness: Wolfgang Wells is far more amiable to all of Team Flash than he was to Harry and Cisco last season, though Cisco hasn't forgotten [[{{Jerkass}} his past demeanor]].

* ContinuityCavalcade: a child Nora's visit to the Flash Museum features a hall dedicated to the Flash's villains where their iconic gear are stored: the Reverse-Flash suit (complete with the tachyon device attached), Heatwave's flamethrower, the Weather Wizard's wand, Savitar's armor, among many other trinkets.

* {{Flight}}: Cicada shows himself to be able to fly through unknowns means.

* HistoryRepeats: Once again, Cisco and another Wells have an...intense relationship.

** Sherloque Wells asking Nora if she was encouraged to intervene and help her father with [=DeVoe=]'s ColonyDrop. He stops her from given an answer and waves off the question, its implied the answer is "yes".

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Sherlock is a so much better detective than Ralph that the latter gets basically forgotten by the rest.

** Sherloque faking his death provides the inspiration for Cisco to fake his and get Cicada off his back (for now, at least).

* FrenchJerk: Sherlock is now the third french Wells in total and quite a bit full of himself.

* TheBusCameBack: Wolfgang Wells makes a brief return.

** Sherloque faking his death provides the inspiration for Cisco to fake his.
