“I am vengeance.”
Spoiler alert for anyone that hasn't seen episode three - But the Red Death has arrived and it looks like her master plan involves potentially destroying the space-time continuum, which, of course, is very bad news for Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and company.
Who is this mysterious new adversary? Well, as revealed in the episode's closing moments, she is indeed Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie), who Team Flash learned had suspiciously gone missing several weeks prior to the events of the episode...
Here's a first look at her (via TV Line):
As for what comes next, that's anyone's guess, but it looks like she'll be crossing paths with Barry Allen again next week as she's seemingly taken him captive and the promo also seems to tease that she may be paying Iris (Candice Patton) a visit, which can't mean anything good.
Check out the new promo for episode four, titled "The Mask of the Red Death, Part 1," below:
The main cast of The Flash season nine features Grant Gustin ("Barry Allen/The Flash"), Candice Patton ("Iris West-Allen"), Danielle Panabaker ("Dr. Caitlin Snow"), Danielle Nicolet ("Cecile Horton"), Kayla Compton ("Allegra Garcia"), Brandon McKnight ("Chester P.
