What to Know

Critics Consensus

While "Cause and XS" doesn't feature much of the show's titular superhero, the strong supporting characters and time loop gimmick make for a worthwhile ride.

Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 02/13/2019
I suspect this episode was light on our star to accommodate his honeymoon. Luckily, the rest of the cast is more than up to the task of carrying the show without him. Go to Full Review Scott Von Doviak AV Club 02/13/2019

It's best just to accept the fact that the rules change depending on the needs of each individual story. By that measure, "Cause And XS" is one of the more enjoyable episodes of the season. Go to Full Review Jessie Robertson Flickering Myth 04/24/2019

Another Nora-centric episode...perfect. This is an easy episode though; a lot of the shots are the same, so it's like a copy and paste art project almost. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files 04/17/2019

Cause and XS was a lot of fun and was maybe the season's best episode even with The Flash only around in a cameo role. Go to Full Review Trent Moore Syfy Wire 02/13/2019
It's become almost an annual tradition, and as usual, this season's time loop episode did not disappoint -- and also flipped the script by putting Nora in the driver's seat Go to Full Review Noetta Harjo Geek Girl Authority 02/13/2019
This was a good episode overall because the team was able to defeat Cicada without the Flash. It's good to give them these opportunities so they can be the hero for once. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
