Season three ended with Barry Allen aka The Flash disappearing into Speed Force after stopping Savitar.
Carlos Valdes, who plays Cisco Ramon/Vibe, recently told Digital Spy that the team will struggle without Barry, explaining: "We cannot keep the villains at bay with the same efficiency that he used to, so in light of that, Cisco does whatever it takes to get his friend back!"
