Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) was shaken with a lot of emotional turmoil during the past two seasons and she may be in for a couple of more in the third season of "The Flash," with her mother coming into the picture.

The upcoming season of "The Flash" will delve more deeply into the character and background of Caitlin who, so far, has not manifested any indications of metahuman powers. To prove this further, she also executed a test on herself through which she was guaranteed that she does not possess any metahuman genes. And yet, Caitlin might have more in common with her Earth-2 doppleganger by the name of Killer Frost than she would allow and admit as it was discovered in the most recent season of "The Flash."

As "The Flash" executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said in an interview with Collider about this development in the character of Caitlin: "It gave us an opportunity to deepen both characters. We haven't met Caitlin's mother yet. We got a little talk between the two women, which will probably play out in season 3."

In the second season of "The Flash," Zoom abducted Caitlin to take her to and imprison her on Earth-2 where she came in a confrontation with Killer Frost. This was when Killer Frost revealed that her brother Charlie's death was the reason behind the changes in her mother. The loss turned her mother cold-hearted. This proved to be an interesting and surprising revelation from Killer Frost as Caitlin had never known a brother. This can likely lead to a story arc in the third season that will feature the appearance of Caitlin's mother who will recount what truly happened in the past that made her into the difficult mother that she is now to Caitlin. Caitlin will perhaps be enlightened with events in the past which so far remain unknown to her. "The Flash" season 3 has yet to shed light if Charlie was born before or after Caitlin was.

Expected to explore Caitlin's hidden history, "The Flash" is currently in hiatus and will return for its third season on The CW later this year.
