Sudden reoccurrence or outburst (5-2)

I believe the answer is:

flare-up

(Other definitions for flare-up that I've seen before include "Sudden outbreak of anger" , "Burst into flame or become suddenly angry" , "Suddenly burn brightly" , "Explosion of emotion" , "Sudden outburst" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
