The Flash Season 1 Episode 5 Preview: Who's Visiting Iris?

at .

Will a bright light keep Iris in the dark about Barry and the red streak?

From the looks of the photos, that may be the only thing saving Barry from identification by his best friend and the girl of his dreams.

Clancy Brown visits Central City as General Eiling, who rolls into town after a bomb explodes, taking over the case. Joe West asks his friends at STAR Labs to do a little recon on the unwelcome visitors.

It turns out Eiling is testing super soldiers. One such soldier with him is Bette Sans Souci (Kelly Frye) and Cisco confirms she was at the bomb site.

Surprise, surprise! She's a metahuman whose mere touch causes things to explode!

With all the trouble going on, when Joe learns Iris is writing a blog dedicated to the red streak, he asks Barry to stop her. Barry knows Iris well enough to know it will do no good; but a visit from the red streak himself might help!

Check out the photos and come on back on November 11 for a full review of The Flash Season 1 Episode 5.
