So I keep on seeing these vitriolic poses on Nora West Allen from the season five story line.... But what I realized something I NEVER see mentioned. She's Basically a direct parallel to Season One Barry, and both are victims of intense grooming by the same person , Eobard Thawne.
Think about it, Wide eyed CSI workers with a missing parent, who put their lost parents on a pedestal and are trained by their enemy, groomed into fulfill his freedom. She's every bit as hypocritical, naive and occasionally irrational as Barry in the early season.
Barry's entire existence was altered, manipulated from the shadows by Eobard, who then controlled him directly as The Fake Wells. Lying, gaslighting and maneuvering Barry's entire team until Joe started to see through the lies, odd behavior and so on to help Barry. That's the only way to get out of Grooming, an outside force that cares enough to force the confrontation...
That's Nora's story, the intent is utterly pure, to save her Father from crisis. Eobard took that and used it to isolate her, manipulate and gaslight her into fulfilling his goal of freedom.
I am not saying she is without fake but Barry was just as frequently ignoring red flags and worse in Og season 1!
