'The Flash' Season 8 Episode 4: Are Thawne and Barry set for the ultimate showdown?
Season 8 of ‘The Flash’ is getting intense with each episode and it’s becoming more and more clear that Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) is in for the fight of his life. The reason we say this is because he will be going up against his own friends to safeguard everyone’s future. However, it won’t be an easy task for him and we saw a glimpse of it during the end moments of Episode 3.
During the final moments of Episode 3, we saw The Flash and Black Lightning (Cress Williams) getting to fight Despero (Tony Curran). Earlier, Barry wanted Jefferson to take all his powers because of the future that Despero showed him. He believes that if he won’t have his powers with him, then he won’t be able to hurt anyone. He tells Jefferson about the future and that’s when Jefferson stops taking his powers. Barry gets frustrated starts attacking Jefferson and that’s when Despero makes an entrance. A few moments later, Iris also reaches there and tells Despero that someone has been messing with the timeline and his father might still be alive.
