A major super villain and a superhero from the DC Comics Universe arrives in the winter finale of CW's The FlashBarry Allen (Grant Gustin) has to face off against the Reverse-Flash, Firestorm, and Dr. Tina McGee in 'The Man In The Yellow Suit.'

While Eddie (Rick Cosnett) asks Iris (Candice Patton) to move in with him, the Reverse Flash commits a robbery, making himself known. The Reverse-Flash and Barry have a race across the streets, which leads them to a football stadium. After Barry is beaten around, the Reverse-Flash tells him they are destined to fight and the scarlet speedster is meant to lose.

After sensing a stalker following her, Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker)  takes it upon herself to find out if Ronnie (Robbie Amell) is truly alive. Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Caitlin confront Ronnie but he wants nothing to do with them. Caitlin wished for Robbie to still be alive, but now she wonders if they need to put him in the prison along with the other psycho metahumans.

Barry, Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) set up a trap for the Reverse Flash. Though her lab was broken into, Dr. Tina McGee (Amanda Pays) doesn't want the police to be involved. Though Barry convinces Tina to give up her prototype, Wells and Joe do not want him involved in this mission.  

Barry meets his father, Henry (John Wesley Shipp), in prison. The man in the yellow suit has taken so much from the, twisting Barry's life for so long. Henry tells his son not to let the man in the yellow suit take anything else from them. 

Listening to his father's advice, Barry tells Iris how he feels about her. Because she's moving in with Eddie, Iris doesn't know what to say to him. Things are going to be awkward between them from now on.

The Reverse-Flash is trapped inside the force field. Eddie, Joe, and the rest of the task force have their guns pointed at him. Cisco and Caitlin sense something wrong, sending a text to Barry for help.

The Reverse-Flash grabs Harrison and pulls him inside the force field. After pulverizing Wells into a pulp, Joe shuts down the force field. The Reverse-Flash then takes down Eddie's task force, and grabs the throat of Joe.

The Flash and the Reverse-Flash have a second fight, which takes them outside the building. The Reverse-Flash continues to pound on the Flash, until Ronnie shows up. As Firestorm, Ronnie blasts the Reverse-Flash with a fireball, forcing him to retreat. 

Ronnie tells Caitlin not to look for him anymore. He lights himself on fire and files away. After discovering about metahumans from Joe, Eddie is confused about who the Flash is because he saved his life. 

Everyone is invited to spend Christmas at Barry's place. Cisco tells Joe that he saw something weird. The Reverse-Flash may have killed Barry's mother but there was also another speedster involved that night too. 

In his secret lab, Harrison has a special ring, with a lightning symbol, in his hand. He is hiding his costume of the Reverse-Flash there. 

Harrison Wells is the man who killed Barry's mother in The Flash. Readers, what did you think of The Man In The Yellow Suit?
