THE FLASH Season 1, Episode 5 Synopsis Released; "Plastique"

The CW have released the first official description for "Plastique", the fifth episode of The Flash's debut season! As well as teasing the debut of the villain this instalment is named after, we also learn more about Clancy Brown's General Eiling and the first meeting between The Flash and Iris...

KELLY FRYE GUEST STARS AS DC COMICS’ PLASTIQUE AND CLANCY BROWN GUEST STARS AS GENERAL EILING — After a bomb goes off downtown, the army, led by General Eiling (guest star Clancy Brown), rolls in and takes over the case, much to Joe’s (Jesse Martin)surprise. Suspicious, Joe tells Barry (Grant Gustin) that he and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs should look into the army’s involvement. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) informs the team that Eiling was experimenting on his men to turn them into super soldiers. Cisco (Carlos Valdes) confirms one of Eiling’s soldiers, Bette Sans Souci (guest star Kelly Frye), was at the bomb site. The Flash tracksher down and realizes that she’s not setting off the bombs, she is a meta-human who can blowthings up just by touching them. Meanwhile, when Joe learns Iris is writing about “the streak,” hetells Barry to make her stop. Barry realizes Iris won’t listen to him so he decides to have The Flash pay her a visit. Dermott Downs directed the episode written by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing & Brooke Eikmeier.

So, this should be a very interesting episode as we get to see the debut of Plastique (played by actress Kelly Frye, pictured above) along with Clancy Brown's General Eiling. However, perhaps more intriguing than both of those things is the fact that The Flash and Iris West will meet for the first time. Barry used his powers to disguise himself when he came face to face with his father in this week's episode, so how they handle this scene should be fun to watch. What do you think?

Awesome. This show is great so far and it'll be nice to see a female villain.

Let's keep it relevant btw ( something I'm technically breaking)

I wish the dialogue on the CW shows wasn't so cringe-worthy. Don't get me wrong as I enjoy the shows. Just despise the dialogue. Gotham has both shows beat in that department.

It does feel very smallville. I enjoyed smallville though. I'm not going to complain about that. Just wished they had stronger villains and more of a series storyline.

I like the show Clark did all the superspeed shit on Smallville. Even my friends brought it up and they're not even big comic book show fans

The whole zoom in and out unnoticed Smallvilel is first. I like flash but they're are some similarities. I loved smallville. It had it's up an downs but seasons 1-5 was great and season 9and ten were solid.

The selection of actresses on TV is better than in DC movies.

LOLZ @MrDeadRabbit, "Arrow" IS teen emo shit.

Perfect.

When the direction, lighting, scripwriting and acting is so damned bad that they can take a gorgeous girl playimg that Felicity chick and make her so that I would not even stick @McGee's little weenie in her, you got a problem.

Arrow is just a steaming pile of terrible.

And its fans have the nerve to compare it to the superbly done Agents of SHIELD?

Flash, on the other hand, is REALLY good.

And damned happy to see that Clancy Brown will be making an appearance on the series!
