The Flash: Synopsis Released For "Things You Can't Outrun" Features The Mist, Ronnie Raymond

The CW have released the synopsis for the upcoming third episode of The Flash, "Things You Can't Outrun."

And it's quite a bit of DC goodness, with a flashback revealing the apparent death of Ronnie Raymond and the emergence of Kyle Nimbus, the villain best known as The Mist.

The episode, which airs on October 21, will feature the first onscreen appearance of both characters unless one or both is teased in Episode Two and wasn't announced.  It sees a lot of characters dealing with their baggage, including Detective West going to see Henry Allen in prison for the first time since arresting him years ago.

You can check out the official synopsis below. The Flash debuts next Tuesday, October 7, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
