‘The Flash’ spoilers: ‘Fallout’ extends the Firestorm storyline further

The FlashGiven that you would think that “The Flash” would follow strictly the story of Barry Allen, we’re glad to see that they are finding the time to focus on some other characters, as well. We’re especially happy when one of these other characters happens to be Firestorm.

You’re going to be meeting Victor Garber for the first time as Dr. Stein at some point very soon, and you will for sure be seeing yet yet again on the upcoming February 17 episode “Fallout,” which we really wish was a reference to that video game series (even though it’s not). This story is going to revolve around the separate of Firestorm, which holds some enormous implications for both Ronnie Raymond and Caitlin Snow. Of course, what happens at the end of the episode could be yet another game-changer at the same time. Take a look at the synopsis below:

“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.”

We do know that time travel is going to be coming at some point this season for Barry, given what we know already about Harrison Wells. The question is just whether or not we’ll see this story really become a fixture until season 2. We suppose that depends on how long they are willing to let this story simmer.
