While The Flash is on its winter break on the CW network, new additions to the cast are already underway for the upcoming second half of the first season. Will Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) be able to handle himself against the super villains, The Pied Pier and The Weather Wizard?

In our first recap, Barry (Gustin) was struck by lightning and thrown into a vat of chemicals, After the particle accelerator explosion, Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) and Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) have been studying Barry's newfound super-speed powers. With the scarlet speedster, they have been helping fight against the metahumans, who use their powers to harm Central City.

In the mid-season finale recap, while the Reverse-Flash and the Flash were racing across Central City, Caitlin discovered Ronnie was still alive, but mentally damaged from the explosion. When the Reverse-Flash came after Caitlin and Cisco, the Flash tried to stop him but was losing the fight.
