With just a few episodes left in Season 2, The Flash gives fans the full scoop on Zoom.
After 17 episodes, we still don’t know if there even is a Jay Garrick, or if Zoom was just using that name on his clone/double/whatever it was that was making time with Caitlin Snow. That said, answers are coming, and some of them may arrive in this week’s new episode, “Versus Zoom.”
Not only is there going to be a direct confrontation with the Season 2 Big Bad, but his back story is going to be laid out for everyone to see. Check out the official synopsis for The Flash Season 2, episode 18 from The CW:
Equipped with the tachyon device, Barry believes he is fast enough to stop Zoom (guest star Teddy Sears) and wants to open the breaches to catch him. Harry strongly advises against that plan but after Barry convinces him, Harry reveals that Cisco has the power to re-open the breach. Meanwhile, Hunter Zolomon’s painful story on Earth-2 is revealed.An interesting side note for fans who watched the Supergirl crossover: Does Barry even need to re-open the portals to Earth-2 to find Zoom? In that episode, he clearly had on the tachyon device (though we weren’t 100 percent sure that’s what it was at the time), and he claimed that he simply ran fast enough to bridge the gap between worlds on his own. The crossover has always seemed a bit out of sequence with events on The Flash, but this week’s synopsis makes it seem that wherever it fits in, it’s still a few weeks down the road.
It’s also cool that Cisco and his Vibe powers are going to be key to more inter-world travel. His Earth-2 double suggested that he was capable of much more than simply getting glimpses of people and things from parallel Earths, and his comic book counterpart surely is proof that he is too. You’ll also note that Wally West is in Zoom’s crosshairs in the picture above. Could there be an origin story coming up soon for him to ride the lightning as well?
So much to look forward to in “Versus Zoom,” especially since the show has taken a few weeks off. It’s all new episodes from here on out, beginning on Tuesday, April 19 at 8 pm on The CW. Be there or be left behind!
