The Flash season 1, episode 16, “Rogue Time,” airs tonight, as Captain Cold returns. And he won’t be alone.
Previously
Mark Mardon, brother of weather metahuman Clyde Mardon, targeted Joe to avenge his brother’s death; in the process, he sent a tidal wave toward Central City. Before preparing to stop the wave, Barry revealed his secret to Iris, and Iris admitted her feelings for Barry.
Meanwhile, Cisco’s suspicion of Harrison Wells deepened, forcing Wells to confront him and reveal his true identity — the Reverse Flash, Eobard Thawne. Wells/Thawne then killed Cisco, while Barry ran so fast in his attempt to stop the tidal wave that he traveled back in time.

‘The Flash’ season 1, episode 16, ‘Rogue Time,’ synopsis
If that promo has whet your appetite, make sure to read the official synopsis for the 16th episode of the season:
“CAPTAIN COLD AND HEAT WAVE RETURN TO CENTRAL CITY; PEYTON LIST GUEST STARS AS LISA SNART — The Flash (Grant Gustin) learns that Captain Cold (guest star Wentworth Miller) and Heat Wave (guest star Dominic Purcell) have returned to Central City. This time Snart has brought along his baby sister Lisa (guest star Peyton List) to help wreak havoc on the city. John Behring directed the episode with story by Grainne Godfree and teleplay by Brooke Eikmeier & Kai Yu Wu (#116).”
If you need more goodies to tide you over, we have promotional stills from the episode as well:
As we can see from these stills, Cisco is indeed alive after all, which must mean that Barry’s trip back through time prevented his confrontation with Harrison Wells from happening. While that’s a huge relief, Cisco’s suspicions about his mentor are likely to cause problems down the line, so we’ll be curious to see where that storyline goes — especially now that we know just how far Wells/Thawne is willing to go to achieve his ends.
