'The Flash" Teases More Than One Big Mistake for Nora in Season 5

When the Mystery Girl revealed herself to really be the future Nora Allen during The Flash's season four finale, she declared that she had made a "big mistake". Now, series executive producer Todd Helbing says there's much more that she'll have to contend with when the show returns this fall.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, Helbing said that Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) has more than one mistake to deal with and that those additional mistakes are well on their way.

"There's a bunch of big mistakes and they're coming," Helbing said. "It's not just one."

While Helbing didn't elaborate on exactly what those mistakes were, during the show's SDCC panel Helbing also revealed that the show, whose overall theme for season five is the concept of legacy, would be doing a younger version of The Rogues. If Nora, whose heroic codename is XS, is operating as a super heroic speedster in the future it would make sense that she would also have her own version of the Rogues, the iconic group of Flash villains in comics.

On top of the possibility of a Young Rogues, the season's big bad, Cicada, has also been teased as art of Nora's big mistake. A tease about the villain was supposed to factor into The Flash's season four finale, but was ultimately cut for time, though it was confirmed that Cicada won't be a speedster, something Helbing told ComicBook.com gave the show a way to change up the obstacles for Barry and the team.

"It is nice to have a villain that we can change up what Barry's obstacle and the team's obstacles are, and how to take somebody down." executive producer Todd Helbing told ComicBook.com after the Season 4 finale. "The Thinker, DeVoe, [was] a lot of fun and we certain see the benefits of doing that. Having a meta that isn't a speedster and the new ways that we can pose challenges for those guys is fun. So, I think for next season, it's certainly not going to be a speedster."
