Season 7 of The Flash is speeding right along and that means The CW series is coming up on its milestone 150th episode. It was previously revealed that Jessica Parker Kennedy would return as Barry (Grant Gustin) and Iris' (Candice Patton) future daughter Nora West-Allen/XS and that Jordan Fisher will make his debut as Bart Allen/Impulse in the episode, but now thanks to a new synopsis for the episode we get a little more context about this much-anticipated family team-up. The network has released the synopsis for "Heart of the Matter, Part 1", the upcoming seventeenth episode of The Flash's seventh season and the series' overall 150th episode.

According to the synopsis, Nora and Bart aren't the only surprises in store for Team Flash in the episode. The description teases a "shocking secret" that will threaten the family as well as the intensification of the Godspeed war. Previews for next week's upcoming episode, "Enemy at the Gates" revealed the return of Godspeed as a major threat for Team Flash and Central City so it seems like the heroes may be dealing with the formidable speedster for some time.

Back in May, The CW shared an official first look at Fisher in costume as Impulse with a promo poster that paid homage to the character's comic return in 2018's The Flash #50. Created by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo, Bart Allen first appeared in comics in The Flash #91 in a cameo role and then in a full debut in The Flash #92 in 1994. In the comics, the character is actually the son of Meloni Thawne and Don Allen and is the grandson of Barry and Iris hailing from the 30th century. Over the years, Bart has held the mantles of Impulse, Kid Flash, and The Flash as well as been a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, the Justice League, and more.
