'The Flash' season 5 episode 3: Barry Allen and Team are in for a shocker in 'The Death of Vibe'

The CW has released an official plot synopsis for the third episode, dropping ominous hints about the fate of a certain prominent ally of our favorite speedster.

It's no secret that a brand new antagonist is headed towards Central City, posing a fresh set of challenges for Team Flash in season 5. In the light of the information available about the Barry Allen nemesis - called Cicada - the CW has now released an official plot synopsis for the third episode, dropping ominous hints about the fate of a certain prominent ally of our favorite speedster.

"Cicada targets a member of Team Flash," read the plot summary for the episode, ironically titled, 'The Death of Vibe'. If the title sets off an alarm, it's probably for the best as it directly targets Cisco Ramon's alter ego, Vibe (played by Carlos Valdes).
