The CW have released the full synopsis for The Flash’s midseason finale, “The Man in the Yellow Suit”. It confirms that we’ll finally meet both Reverse-Flash AND Firestorm, but may also reveal which character isn’t the iconic villain who murdered Barry Allen’s mother…
BARRY COMES FACE-TO-FACE WITH THE MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT/AMANDA PAYS RETURNS TO THE FLASH — Barry (Grant Gustin) finds himself face-to-face with his nemesis, the man in the yellow suit, a.k.a. Reverse Flash, who killed his mother. Barry is frustrated when the Reverse Flash escapes, but Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) come up with a plan to trap him. All they need is bait, so they turn to Dr. Tina McGee (guest star Amanda Pays) from Mercury Labs to help. Meanwhile, it’s Christmas at The West household and Iris (Candice Patton) is in full holiday cheer. Eddie (Rick Cosnett) gives her a surprising gift but also leaves her with a question that could change her life. Joe (Jesse L. Martin) joins the search for the man in yellow and ends up in the crossfire. Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) finds Ronnie (Robbie Amell). Ralph Hemecker directed the episode written by Todd Helbing & Aaron Helbing (#109).
So, based on this description, it definitely sounds as if Harrison Wells isn’t Reverse-Flash. There are a lot of other theories doing the rounds in regards to his true identity (an older Barry Allen and Vandal Savage are two of the most popular), but those of you who believe he’s this particular villain may want to rethink your stance on things! Regardless, there are a lot of other interesting details in here, and it sounds as if we should also expect to meet Firestorm for the first time. The wait over Christmas for The Flash to return is going to be torture. What do you think about these details?
