The Flash season 5 episode 6 spoilers: ‘The Icicle Cometh’; Caitlin’s story

Coming up on The Flash season 5 episode 6, you could get answers on something we’ve been curious on for a while: Caitlin’s father. It’s been a little bit of a slow burn this season (ironic for a character associated with ice), but come November 20 you’ll get a chance to dive into her backstory more than ever before. Kyle Secor will be around in this episode as her father, and maybe we’ll get a sense as to precisely how some her powers / her alter ego of Killer Frost first came about. (For her, it wasn’t just about the particle accelerator — there was something larger at play here.)

While The Flash season 5 episode 6 synopsis below doesn’t give away everything, we certainly do think that it does enough to generate some excitement over what lies ahead:

CAITLIN LEARNS SOMETHING NEW ABOUT HER FATHER – Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker), Barry (Grant Gustin) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) learn something new about Caitlin’s father (guest star Kyle Secor). Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) and Sherloque (Tom Cavanagh) follow a clue about Cicada (Chris Klein). Chris Peppe directed the episode written by Kristen Kim & Joshua V. Gilbert (#506). Original airdate 11/20/2018.

This episode seems to be taking on two important storylines at once — while Caitlin’s father may not be altogether important to stopping Cicada, it could prove beneficial to her understanding her powers. If she can find a way to A) get Killer Frost back and B) actually learn how to fully control her, that could prove quite useful in whatever lies ahead moving forward this season. As things stand right now, Caitlin feels like there’s something missing; it was easy to not want Killer Frost around at first, but now she is ingrained within her DNA.

As for the Cicada story, it’s a little hard to tease much here beyond we already know — this is not someone who will be easy to defeat.
