Before we get into how that moment resolved the episodeРІР‚в„ўs plot, letРІР‚в„ўs talk for a second about XS catching up to Flash. When Spin uses her phoneРІР‚в„ўs power to try to get Nora to kill Barry, Iris steps in and subdues her before she can take him down. Perhaps NoraРІР‚в„ўs crush might make a resurgence at some point? After all, she wasnРІР‚в„ўt a meta, but the satellite dusted Central City with dark matter, meaning now objects can carry meta properties, meaning the villains of the city were gifted a bunch of new toys just in time for the holidays.Р”Р‡urther reading РІР‚вЂњ The Flash Season 5 Villain: Who is Cicada?

While The Flash is likely best when the politics of the day donРІР‚в„ўt rear their ugly head, itРІР‚в„ўs certainly an area that could have used more fleshing out. As quipped above, itРІР‚в„ўs a very rich metaphor for a characterРІР‚в„ўs superpower to be fake news that literally becomes reality. While all this family drama is coming out, the gang learns that Spin is manipulating people to create high-profile news stories (also known as tragedies) so that she can be first on the reporting. That is to say, itРІР‚в„ўs understandable and you and I might very well do the same. Nora may be a flawed character in many ways, but her decision to come back in time suddenly feels less like a selfish speedsterРІР‚в„ўs abuse of power and more like a lottery winner going a bit overboard on a new sports car. She only learned she was a metahuman less than a year ago, so we canРІР‚в„ўt fault her too much for not understanding the intricacies of time-travel and the multiverse.

Suddenly NoraРІР‚в„ўs reckless disregard for the sanctity of the timeline is more understandable. However, itРІР‚в„ўs also the moment when Nora reveals that the reason she seems so bratty toward her mom has nothing to do with her dadРІР‚в„ўs disappearance, itРІР‚в„ўs the fact that she discovered Iris had planted a power dampener on her and didnРІР‚в„ўt allow her to know that she was a speedster until six months prior.
