Fans were expecting a big reveal this week, but it's hard to imagine many predicted what actually transpired on tonight's episode of The Flash, as it was - spoiler alert - revealed that Caitlin Snow, an O.G. member of Team Flash, died during her time in the consciousness resurrection machine and now, an entirely new person has been born in her place.
Well, then who is Danielle Panabaker's new character? Well, she decided to name herself Khione, which was the original name Caitlin's father gave to her alternate Killer Frost personality when she was a child. What this twist means moving forward remains to be seen, but it seems like Khione is here to stay and it's only a matter of time before Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and company determines whether she's friend or foe.
Not helping matters is Chillblaine (Jon Cor), who is going to be quite upset that the plan didn't work out like they hoped and it sounds like he's going to be on a collision course with Team Flash in next week's episode, when Barry is forced to recruit a handful of his former villains to take down a new group of rogues.
