On December 4th, The CW will air the 100th episode of The Flash.
It feels like only yesterday that Grant Gustin's Barry Allen first appeared in Arrow but his solo series has raced to this landmark chapter and a new synopsis reveals that we will indeed be travelling back through time.
This backs up reports about villains like Reverse-Flash and Zoom making an appearance and it sounds like the episode will be heading in a similar direction to Arrow's nostalgia-heavy 100th episode.
TOM CAVANAGH DIRECTS THE 100TH EPISODE — In the 100th episode, Barry (Grant Gustin) and Team Flash come up with a plan to stop Cicada (Chris Klein). However, the plan calls for Barry and Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) to travel back in time to gather some key necessities. However, Barry hesitates, concerned about his daughter seeing certain parts of his life.
Meanwhile, Sherloque (Tom Cavanagh) takes his concerns about Nora to Iris (Candice Patton), and Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) turns up a key asset in the fight against Cicada. Tom Cavanagh directed the episode written by Todd Helbing & Lauren Certo.
Titled "What's Past is Prologue," it will be very interesting seeing Barry come face to face with some of his greatest foes, especially with his daughter by his side. The question is, will this journey have any sort of impact on the present (just look at Flashpoint).
