After nearly a year, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and his S.T.A.R. Labs have finally thwarted Eva McCulloch's (Efrat Dor) evil plan, and next week's episode of The Flash will begin the season anew as we begin to really dig into the actual plot of season seven, which based on the speed force storm from the hour's closing moments will introduce the likes of Godspeed and potentially many other new speedsters.
Before he can get to that, Barry will first have to deal with the return of a vengeance-seeking Abra Kadabra (David Dastmalchian), who has his sights set on making Central City disappear. Meanwhile, Allegra (Kayla Compton) deals with her own tricky situation while Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) suspects something is wrong with her alter-ego Frost.
Elsewhere, Iris (Candice Patton) will continue her efforts to readjust to being back home in the real world and will be forced to confront a dark moment from her past.
