While it looked for a second like Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell) had returned from the dead, the rug was pulled out from under Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) fairly quickly when the seemingly resurrected "Ronnie" revealed himself as the DC Comics villain Deathstorm, who is now going to cause all kinds of devastating problems for Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Team Flash.
Amell tells Entertainment Weekly a bit about where we'll find the villain when the series returns in two weeks. "He's not quite powerful enough yet, so he feeds on pain and anguish and suffering, and that's what he does. He goes out and starts preying on individuals. As an actor, it's just super fun to play, and it's nice to see a little bit of a darker tone on the show, a little different, especially the contrast to the flashback scenes. You definitely don't get that guy coming back. It's going to be bad. It's going to piss off a ton of people. I think the hate tweets will come rolling in. I'm excited about it."
As for how much more of Deathstorm we can expect to see this season, Amell confirms that he'll be in the next two installments, which will air on April 27 and May 4.
