How The Flash Can Avoid Killing Cicada In Season 5

Since this is The Flash, nobody seemed to be on Team Kill Cicada, even though Cicada had been murdering metahumans all season long, had just seriously injured Nora, and showed no signs of stopping of his own volition. As in years past, the ultimate goal of the good guys is to stop their big bad without ending his life. The problem this year is that Cicada's dagger has the ability to sap metas of their powers, with the exception of Caitlin. It's also very handy for stabbing, slashing, and as we saw in "Seeing Red," taking down helicopters if thrown the right way.
