'The Flash' is approaching the end of its first season, but several questions still remain regarding the fate of several of the series' characters, most notably that of Dr. Harrison Wells, whose identity was finally revealed in the latest episode titled "Tricksters." Prior to this revelation, many fans of the show speculated that Dr. Wells would have some connection to Eobard Thawne, explaining why he possessed the Reverse Flash suit. As it turns out, the real Dr. Harrison Wells is already dead, and Eobard Thawne was the person Barry and the gang were dealing all along.
According to the report released by the International Business Times, the sypnosis for the eighteenth episode has already been released, although 'The Flash' will be taking a two-week break and will return to the small screens on April 14.
Episode 18, titled "All Star Team Up," will feature another crossover between 'Arrow' and 'The Flash.' According to the spoilers released by CW, Felicity will pay another visit to Central City, this time bringing along Ray Palmer (a.k.a. "The Atom") to seek help with his new suit. Some theories indicate that this may be the episode where Ray gets his A.T.O.M. suit to shrink, which has always been the defining characteristic of the superhero in the comics.
Barry Allen will be facing a villain that calls herself the Bug-Eyed Bandit (played by Emily Kinney) who will use a swarm of robotic bees to take revenge on her former colleagues, and will be assisted by Oliver and the Arrow gang. The timing could not be perfect, since Ray himself is an expert in robotics.
Finally, the sypnosis also mentions that a dinner with Barry, Iris, Eddie, Felicity and Ray will go horribly wrong. Given the recent awkward interactions between Barry and Iris (due to his unrequited confession of love to Iris), as well as the suspicions that Eddie harbors towards Barry, this would not be much of a surprise.
Other spoilers that were featured in the next episode's promotional video include a Cisco Ramone testing out new tech, which may indicate that he is on his way to becoming Vibe, or that he is simply checking out Ray's suit. Also, several confrontations will be featured - Detective West will finally encounter Gorilla Grodd, and Cisco will be caught by Dr. Wells. It is quite frustrating for fans to have to wait two weeks for the episode's premiere, but considering the amount of excitement that it promises to bring, the wait should be worth it.
