It certainly didn’t hurt that the writers placed such a heavy emphasis on fleshing out his human side and bringing an extra layer of sympathy to one of the series more outlandish villains. Thankfully, the deeper this episode got into the actual King Shark v. But again, on closer examination the logic doesn’t really hold up here. It’s a welcome change from the days when they used to throw criminals in the particle accelerator and lose the key. On what world is a guy who’s made it his life’s mission to murder every metahuman in the city going to willingly give up the only thing that makes his crusade possible? I appreciate the desire not to paint Team Flash as authoritarian bullies choosing who gets powers and who doesn’t. Worse is the revelation that Barry is going to offer Cicada the cure. The whole situation called for more nuance than this episode was able to deliver. Barry’s decision to use the cure on King Shark is treated like a serious moral failing, despite the fact that Cisco was literally seconds away from being squeezed to death by a giant shark monster. The problem is that it’s hard to buy into some of the character logic. That’s probably a necessary focal point given the nature of this storyline and the ethics behind stripping metahumans of their powers.

In truth, King Shark won this round because he wasn't alone.
While all attention was on the battle between the two beasts, the reality is that this is still an episode of The Flash, so it makes sense for the speedsters to be the deciding factor.
