The Flash Season 3 Premiere: Barry Goes To Cisco For Help In New Clip

When The Flash returns tonight for its third season, fans will meet a very different version of Cisco Ramon. The beloved techie has gone through some major changes in the wake of Barry Allen’s time-traveling schtick, and The CW has just released a clip of Cisco sassing Barry in “Flashpoint.”

The video begins with Cisco entering his swanky office in a sharp navy suit. The character, who appears to be rolling in dough in the ‘Flashpoint’ universe, is tailed by Wally and Iris West.

“I gave you a friction-proof suit so your clothes don’t explode at Mach 2, and you leave me out of your brother-sister war on crime,” Cisco snaps at the two. However, Iris has little patience for the man’s quip and asks him for help in stopping a villain named The Rival.

Barry Allen stands in the back, watching the trio’s tense interaction as Cisco denies Iris and her request. “Stop him. Go with God and have fun – but you know what? You know what happens when you mess with a speedster?” he asks.

“You get a vibrating hand going right through your ribcage,” Cisco explains. When Barry takes a moment to then make his presence known, the other man balks at him and his familiar use of Cisco’s name.

But, after a brief story, Cisco’s entire demeanor shift and leaves fans wondering whether the jaded genius will aid Kid Flash and Barry in ending The Rival.

Fans have already been told that Cisco will change drastically in the ‘Flashpoint’ storyline. The once humble geek has been turned into a the money-hungry founder of Ramon Industries, the richest man in America.

“The repercussions of Barry changing the timeline span all across the spectrum for all of our characters,” Carlos Valdes, who plays Cisco, said. “He’s created an alternate reality where Cisco has actually cashed in on his talents. Cisco’s become this snot-nosed billionaire that heads up this giant tech company, basically.

“I think underneath all of that, there’s still a pivotal core,” Valdes explained. “He might just have a heart underneath.”

When Barry starts forgetting parts of his old life, the Reverse Flash (guest star Matt Letscher) taunts his nemesis and tells him that there will be serious repercussions for Barry and the ones he loves if he continues to live in this alternate universe. In addition to losing his memories, his powers will also start to fade. When disaster strikes, Barry must decide if he wants to continue to live in this world as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash.”
