Preview The Flash season 1, episode 7, “Power Outage,” 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 as well as to free his father from a false murder conviction.
The official synopsis for The Flash season 1, episode 7, “Power Outage,” reads:
“THE FLASH GETS A VISIT FROM DC CHARACTERS FAROOQ AND THE CLOCK KING — The Flash (Barry Allen) goes up against Farooq aka Blackout (guest star Michael Reventar), a metahuman who can harness electricity. During their battle, Farooq zaps The Flash and siphons all his electricity, leaving The Flash without his speed. Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh), Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) work to reverse the effects on Barry, but their efforts are disrupted when Farooq comes banging on S.T.A.R. Labs doors in search of Wells, who he blames for his accident. Without Barry’s powers to protect them, the group must figure out a way to save themselves from the metahuman.
“Meanwhile, Tockman (guest star Robert Knepper) manages a coup inside the Central City police department and takes several people hostage, including Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and Iris (Candice Patton). While Iris is sure The Flash will save them, Eddie (Rick Cosnett) has a trick up his sleeve. Larry Shaw directed the episode written by Alison Schapker & Grainne Godfree (#107).”
