'The Flash' Season 1 Spoilers: New Episode, The Return of the Trickster
The CW's hit superhero TV drama series "The Flash" is definitely getting speed towards its season 1 ending and this means that this week's events on the show will see even more intense developments.
A report from TV Line indicated that "Star Wars" icon Mark Hamill will return on the upcoming episode to reprise his role as the Trickster. But according to spoiler reports, the return of his colorful villain would only be half of the trouble that Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) has to face.
A synopsis from The Futon Critic said that a copycat killer who assumes the name of "The Trickster" (to be played by guest star Devon Graye) would be causing havoc by setting off bombs all over Central City.
To put an end to the chaos, the Red Streak, together with Joe (Jesse L. Martin), would have to meet up with the original Trickster (Hammil), whose real name is James Jesse.
For what appears to be a workable plan, everything went awry when both entities decide to collaborate. They even amped up the stake for The Flash when they take on Henry (John Wesley Shipp) as prisoner inside Iron Heights.
On the other hand, Iris (Candice Patton) calls on her boyfriend Eddie (Rick Cosnett) for some help about a case which would lead them to the discovery of how S.T.A.R. Labs' Dr. Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) came up with the idea of the particle accelerator.
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg teased the big troubles coming up ahead for Barry and his friends.
"What was always cool about the Trickster on both series was he was smart," the showrunner told TV Line. "No matter how crazy he was, he was smart. He thought four steps ahead."
Wells, according to Kreisberg, would also have to tip on Barry about "something he probably didn't want to let him know he could do." May this have something to do with time travel which had bothered the superhero for a while now.
"The Flash" airs this Tuesday, March 31, with episode titled "Tricksters" on The CW.
