Preview The Flash season 1, episode 3, “The Things You Can’t Outrun,” with the episode synopsis, promotional stills, and trailer.
Previously on The Flash, geeky, perpetually late CSI Barry Allen was struck by a bolt of lightning that was the result of a freak storm caused by a malfunctioning particle accelerator. After a nine-month coma, Barry awoke to find himself endowed with super speed.
Working alongside scientists Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow, and Harrison Wells as well as his surrogate father, Detective Joe West, Barry uses his new-found powers to save people and help contain other meta-humans who also gained powers in the explosion.
The official synopsis for The Flash season 1, episode 3, “Things You Can’t Outrun,” reads:
“THE FLASH BATTLES THE MIST, CAITLIN TELLS BARRY ABOUT RONNIE — As Barry (Grant Gustin) and the team at S.T.A.R. Labs work to capture Kyle Nimbus (guest star Anthony Carrigan), a.k.a. The Mist, a dangerous new meta-human with toxic gas powers, they revisit the painful night the particle accelerator exploded and killed Caitlin’s (Danielle Panabaker) fiancé, Ronnie (guest star Robbie Amell). Meanwhile, Joe (Jesse Martin) decides to finally visit Henry (John Wesley Shipp) in jail after all these years, but things take a dangerous turn when Kyle shows up looking to punish Joe for arresting him years ago. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) and Eddie (Rick Cosnett) continue to hide their relationship from Joe. Jesse Warn directed the episode written by Alison Schapker & Grainne Godfree (#103).”
