The CW has released the official synopsis for the February 6th episode of The Flash, titled “True Colors”. It features the return of Amunet Black, occasionally known as Blacksmith.

“True Colors”
AMUNET MAKES A BIG PLAY — After hearing that Amunet (guest star Katee Sackhoff) has struck a deal to buy all of the metahumans in Iron Heights, Barry (Grant Gustin) must decide if he should expose his powers in order to save his cellmates. After a visit from an old friend, Ralph (guest star Hartley Sawyer) is reminded of his shady past and wonders if he’s really a changed man. Tara Nicole Weyr directed the episode written by Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza (#413). Original airdate 2/6/2018.

It also tells us that Barry will be in prison for a while, as he’s still there a few episodes from now. Wonder how long that will last? Also, one wonders about the identity of Ralph’s mysterious friend.

The CW has released some official still images from next week’s episode of The Flash, which gives us some tantalizing glimpses of things we didn’t see in yesterday’s trailer. At left, there’s a much-needed costume upgrade for the Elongated Man; it may not look like the comics version of Ralph’s outfit, but it’s a lot better than what he’s had in the show thus far.

And that isn’t all. The images show that Zoey Clark, also known as Prank, will debut on the series as an associate of the second Trickster. Those who watched the 1990s Flash series will remember her as one of the first Trickster’s sidekicks, played by Corrine Bohrer. It’s not known what her relationship will be to Axel, but perhaps she’s attached to him because he’s purportedly the son of James Jesse (some fans have been theorizing that she’s Axel’s mother ever since he first appeared, which may have some merit).

So there should be a lot of interesting things next week!

The CW has released the official synopsis for the January 30th episode of The Flash, titled “Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash”. The episode will introduce an unnamed metahuman villain, and somebody close to the team will temporarily gain powers themselves.

“Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash”
THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MEN — A meta who can shrink anything he touches battles Team Flash. Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Ralph (guest star Hartley Sawyer) get caught in his crossfire and are shrunk to miniature versions of themselves. Cecile (guest star Danielle Nicolet) realizes her pregnancy has caused her to have temporary powers and discovers she can hear other people’s thoughts, which unnerves Joe (Jesse L. Martin). Meanwhile, Barry (Grant Gustin) meets someone with a mysterious connection to Henry Allen. Chris Peppe directed the episode written by Sam Chalsen & Judalina Neira (#412). Original airdate 1/30/2018

Plus, it’s been revealed that we’ll be seeing another non-Flash villain on the show later this season. This one is Hyrax, a Green Arrow foe who’s an environmental activist. There are an unusual number of non-Flash villains on the show this season.

The CW has released the official synopsis for the second Flash episode in January, titled “The Elongated Knight Rises”. It will air on January 23rd.

The Flash 4×11 “The Elongated Knight Rises”
THE RISE OF THE HERO — When a familiar villain returns to terrorize Central City, Ralph (guest star Hartley Sawyer) must rise up to defend the innocent while Barry (Grant Gustin) is detained by his trial. Meanwhile, Barry searches for the strength to keep his optimism alive in the face of his new circumstances. Alexandra La Roche directed the episode written by Sterling Gates & Thomas Pound (#411). Original airdate 1/23/2018.

The synopsis doesn’t say so, but from set photos it seems that the “familiar villain” is the second Trickster (Devon Graye).

Looking forward to seeing Ralph in action by himself? How do you think he’ll fare? Share your thoughts!
