In just a matter of days, we may very well bear witness to one of the most surreal episodes of The Flash to ever air once “Memorabilia” makes its debut. If you’ve been following along with recent news, then you know this is when Barry and Iris will venture inside Nora’s mind – and no doubt uncover her most deeply guarded secrets in the process.
Basically, this all comes about once Nora tries to do the same to Cicada’s niece, Grace, but gets trapped in that girl’s noggin. And after that calamity arises, XS’ parents must dive into their own daughter’s brain in order to pull her back to reality. You know, they’ve really had to clean up a lot of her messes as of late.
So far, we haven’t seen much of this trippy experience other than a promo teasing the Reverse-Flash, hinting at Barry uncovering his collusion with Nora. This forces me to believe the producers don’t want to reveal too much because the gallery of photos being used to promote the relevant episode (seen below) merely show the preparation going into the process – and not what’ll happen afterward.
Strangely enough, a few shots of Cisco and Ralph exploring nightspots are also included in the slideshow. My best guess is that Ralph is trying to help his buddy get back into the dating pool after having his heart broken by Gypsy. If that’s the case, then perhaps this’ll provide some levity to what’s sure to be an otherwise heavily dramatic episode.
