The Flash: Pied Piper To Return In Season Two

Andy Mientus will return to The Flash as the Pied Piper this year.

Of course, the last time we saw his character, he had a mean-on for Harrison Wells, whom he believed had disrespected him as a protege in favor of Cisco Ramon. Now, that Wells is dead and the world doesn’t know there’s another. Besides that, Cisco has become a metahuman. So…what’s his target?

According to EW, “He’ll return in the 17th episode, fittingly titled ‘Flash Back,’ to wreak havoc once again on his former colleagues when The Flash impossibly revisits an earlier timeline.”

Could that timeline be the one The Flash erased last year when he accidentally traveled back in time, ultimately saving Cisco’s life when Wells killed him? Certainly, in spite of Eobard Thawne being retroactively erased from existence in our timeline, remnants of that one exist in the form of temporal anomalies like Thawne, who recently appeared in “The Reverse-Flash Returns.”

The Flash heads to Earth-2 tonight in a new episode that airs at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
