‘The Flash’ spoilers: See details of Felicity Smoak’s visit to Central City
Before “The Flash” gets too far into its first season, there is still a significant loose end that needs to be tied up … and she goes by the name of Felicity Smoak.
Emily Bett Rickards’ character supposedly visited Barry many times during his coma, and there was a certain amount of feelings there between the two. Given that Oliver Queen has closed the door on a romance with her in the “Arrow” episode “The Calm,” there is a slightly chance for the two of them. With that being said, it feels like that will be rather hard when you remember that these two are on separate shows. There’s only so much time available to cross over!
You will see Felicity specifically on the fourth episode of this season entitled “Gone Rogue,” and you can see some official details in terms of what to expect courtesy of the following synopsis:
“The Flash (Grant Gustin) stops a robbery but the culprits get away after shooting a guard, and The Flash chooses to save the man instead of following the criminals. Joe (Jesse L. Martin) shows Barry a book of suspects and Barry identifies Leonard Snart (guest star Wentworth Miller, “Prison Break”) as the leader of the group. While investigating the case, Barry gets a surprise visit from an old friend – Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards, “Arrow”), who heard about his new abilities and came to check them out for herself. She joins him at S.T.A.R. Labs to help stop Snart after it’s revealed that Snart his gotten his hands on a stolen “cold gun,” which could kill The Flash. Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) is furious when he finds out that Cisco (Carlos Valdes) built the cold gun without telling anyone and now it’s missing. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) is getting the silent treatment from Joe because of her relationship with Eddie (Rick Cosnett). Finally, The Flash and Captain Cold have an epic confrontation.”
As you can see here, there is all sorts of good stuff happening in this episode beyond just a Felicity appearance. Just seeing an iconic Flash villain should be enough to have many excited. Also, it’s nice to see that the whole “secret” nature of Iris’ relationship will be blown up rather quickly.
