Liveblog Reminder: ‘The Flash’ Confronts ‘Things You Can’t Outrun’

It looks like the Flash is stepping away from his usual rogue’s gallery in his third episode and confronting The Mist, a nemesis of Starman. Here’s a brief overview of where we are so far, and what might happen tonight.

First, the plot. It turns out the Mist is your classic grudgeholder; he’s a criminal that hates the people who put him away, so he decides to constructively handle his problems with murder. On his burn list is, of course, Barry’s adoptive dad, so of course the Flash takes him on. Also of interest this episode for nerds will be this sentence in the plot summary:

As Barry and the team at S.T.A.R. Labs work to capture Kyle Nimbus a.k.a. The Mist, a dangerous new meta-human with toxic gas powers, they revisit the painful night the particle accelerator exploded and killed Caitlin’s fiancé, Ronnie.

Considering Victor Garber will be a guest star playing Dr. Martin Stein, we’ve got a pretty good guess where Ronnie there wound up. It’ll be curious to see how they integrate more heroes into what’s already a show full of ’em.

We’ll get a sense of that tonight at 8pm EST, and we’ll be here, liveblogging. Join us, won’t you?
