Barry goes off to do technobabble things. Thus he's barely in this one and it's Nora's turn to mind the store.
When Cicada strikes, can she stop things going wrong?
And how will Cisco's date go?
A familiar concept - see the title - and there's nothing wrong with those played well. But this doesn't quite click.
Big problem is the Cisco stuff. Played for comedy which becomes horribly embarrassing and frankly I could hardly bring myself to watch it. Also, the writing forgets all about Sherlocuq's distraction last week as he's back on that case.
But whilst this doesn't do it for the first three acts, it suddenly clicks in the final quarter. Good scenes of people talking about feelings like grown ups are much better tv than silly comedy. Nora's increasing frustration is very well played. And there are some very good visuals of her running.
The moral of the week works quite well also.
Ultimately this one pulls itself together, but it's an effort to get there. Hang on in there with it and the pain will be rewarded.
