Barry and his team attempt to track down King Shark, but their mission grows complicated when they run into…the Suicide Squad!
Last episode ended with a bang…or rather a nuclear explosion as Firestorm blew up while Barry and Caitlin sped away just ahead of the blast wave. Could that really have been the end of Firestorm? Not a chance! That’s where we pick up in Episode 114 of THE FLASH, “Fallout”!
SOME SPOILERS AHEAD
Unfortunately we have to wait until March 17th to watch the whole episode, but here’s the extended promo for the next episode of The Flash. And apparently its title will be “Out Of Time”.
It’s going behind a jump because the still image is a bit spoilery.
Tonight’s episode of the Flash features the *ahem* “Fallout” from last week’s “The Nuclear Man.” Watch the preview.
GENERAL EILING TARGETS FIRESTORM — After the nuclear explosion separates Ronnie (guest star Robbie Amell) and Dr. Stein (guest star Victor Garber), Barry (Grant Gustin) and the team believe both men are safe. Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) is thrilled to have her fiancé back and prepares to resume their life together while Dr. Stein returns to his wife. However, when General Eiling (guest star Clancy Brown) targets Firestorm, Ronnie and Dr. Stein must decide if they are safer together or apart. Meanwhile, Mason Bridge (guest star Roger Hayworth) tells Iris (Candice Patton) that there is something secretive going on at S.T.A.R. Labs and Dr. Stein gives Barry some important information about time travel. Steve Surjik directed the episode written by Keto Shimizu & Ben Sokolowski.
New on DC’s digital backlist this Wednesday: Flash #143 and #144 from 1964, featuring “Trail of the False Green Lanterns” (guest-starring Hal Jordan) and “Menace of the Man-Missile.” If I remember correctly, that story features a human nuclear bomb, which makes for an interesting bit of timing. There’s also a Kid Flash solo story, “Lesson for a Star Athlete.” Gardner Fox writes, with art by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella, and covers by Infantino and Murphy Anderson.
The CW has posted a one and a half minute clip from this week’s episode, titled “Fallout”. The clip contains spoilers for the last episode, so keep that in mind before watching this one. And the still image on the video is spoilery too, so the clip is behind a jump.
Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive Flash teaser video about Gorilla Grodd. Check it out at the link.
Most of the footage we’ve already seen, but some of it is new. And it’s all rather ominous.
Are you excited about Grodd? How would you like to see him used on the show?
