TV Line is reporting that Sara Garcia (Reign; X Company) has joined the cast of The Flash season seven as Alexa Rivera, who the team will soon discover is actually the Strength Force, or "Fuerza," as Cisco (Carlos Valdes) dubbed her after her first encounter with the Scarlet Speedster.
The CW describes her as "a social aid health worker who is working hard to overcome a dark past as she helps the underprivileged in Central City. But when Alexa uncovers a mysterious connection to the all-powerful Strength Force, she becomes Team Flash’s most dangerous threat yet.”
She now joins the Speed Force (Michelle Harrison), Sage Force (Ennis Esmer), and Still Force (Christian Magby); and with all four forces accounted for, it looks like the stage is finally set for the seventh season's primary conflict.
While Garcia will make her debut in Tuesday's episode, the main focus of the hour will be Killer Frost's trial and the lengths Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) will go to save her sister.
