SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the Season 9 premiere of The Flash on The CW.
The Flash is nearly done fighting crime in Central City — but not before one final villain comes to town.
The CW series’ ninth and final season kicked off Wednesday night with the introduction of some new hurdles for Barry Allen and Team Flash to overcome. The episode begins with Barry and Iris (Candice Patton) getting stuck in a time loop, which exacerbates some of their fears about the passing of time and the lack of control they have over what may or may not happen to them. In order to get out of it, the couple must decide to take on life head on, together — rather than avoiding the problem and each other.
But just when things seem to be settling down again, Barry is faced with yet another bump in the road. Viewers will remember that, at the end of Season 8, Caitlin is on a mission to bring back Frost after she sacrificed herself by turning into Hellfrost to extinguish Deathstorm by absorbing his energy. Well, after an entire episode of wondering what has happened to both characters following Season 8’s cliffhanger, we finally have an answer (sort of). It isn’t Frost or Caitlin that emerged from the Frost chamber, but rather a whole new character who will likely join Team Flash.
The end of the episode is a one-two punch, revealing soon after that Captain Boomerang (who had been terrorizing Barry in the time loop) is actually working for someone much worse…who is surrounded by red lightning. But who could it be?
Showrunner Eric Wallace broke down the Season 9 premiere and gave Deadline some answers about who the newcomers and fan favorites who will be making an appearance in Central City for the final episodes of the series —
