'The Flash' Season 2 Spoilers: Will Danielle Panabaker, Grant Gustin, Meet Teddy Sears' Rival?

The CW network continues with Season 2 of The Flash. In tonight's Episode 2, will Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) discover "the mysterious rival" being the original Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears)?

We mentioned before, Teddy Sears will play the recurring role of Jay Garrick, the Silver Age Flash. Viewers caught a glimpse of Jay's iconic winged helmet in the first season finale. In his arrival, Jay warns Barry and his team at S.T.A.R. Labs about an impending danger that he alone cannot stop. Barry and Jay will embark on a mentor/protege relationship as they learn more about the Speed Force.

In our recent recap, time has passed since the singularity almost swallowed up Central City. Unfortunately, there were casualties that plagued the scarlet speedster since his latest victory. Running out of time, with the Flash exhausting his powers, Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell) and Martin Stein (Victor Garber) merged together once more to become Firestorm. After blowing themselves up, Barry could only save Martin as Caitlin lost her true love again.

In an interview with TV Line, the Masters of Sex actor explains Jay Garrick's mission, "Jay's biggest rival is Zoom, and he needs Barry's help to defeat this guy. When we see him, he arrives without his speed and he knows what Zoom is capable of, so he very much needs to enlist Barry and he needs to have Barry harness these powers and these depths that he didn't know he could reach."

Sears adds, "He needs Barry to achieve these things in order for him to defeat Zoom." In partnering up to take on the Big Bad, the two (good) speedsters develop a "wonderful mentor/mentee" dynamic."

The episode also marks the introduction of the New 52's Patty Spivot (Shantel VanSanten), who may or may not break-up Barry and Iris West (Candice Patton).
