In one of the most-anticipated detours of the season, however, The Flash‘s next episode is set to be dedicated entirely to the return of Gorilla Grodd. The show’s iconic villain will make his comeback after Barry, Cisco (Carlos Valdes), Julian (Tom Felton), and Cailtin (Danielle Panabaker) journey to Gorilla City on Earth-2 to try and rescue Jesse Quick’s (Violett Beane) abducted father.
The promo for “Attack on Gorilla City” has been released by The CW following last night’s episode, giving fans their first look at the new Grodd-centric episode.
It predictably doesn’t take long after arriving in Gorilla City for the group to be captured by Grodd as well, who tells Barry and co. that he needs their help in stopping Solovar (guest star Keith David), the leader of Gorilla City, from invading Earth-1.
None of this has been coming especially easy for Barry, as usual, with even more new characters and metahumans still being introduced and causing trouble along the way.
