Season 8 of The Flash is shaping up to be one of the most emotionally challenging for Central City’s heroes. The CW series’ season opened with the five-part “Armageddon” event which saw Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) seemingly dead and while that, having turned out to be a machination of Reverse Flash (Tom Cavanagh) was resolved with Joe alive and well, things haven’t really gotten any easier. Iris (Candice Patton) has been dealing with a time sickness that seems to be beyond anything that Team Flash has ever dealt with, and the mysterious and deadly Black Flame at first appeared to be long dead Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell) but turns out to be something else entirely, Deathstorm. With several episodes left in the season, Team Flash has a lot on its plate still. Showrunner Eric Wallace has teased events coming up that will forever alter the team and the synopsis for one episode, “Funeral for a Friend”, teases the death of someone they love. While there is always speculation about what could be coming when it comes to the Arrowverse and its big twists, there’s one specific possibility we can’t quite stop thinking about. Given the promise of big changes and a major loss, we can’t help but wonder: is The Flash preparing to kill off Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker)?
