The CW has released a synopsis for “Death Rises”, the twelfth episode of The Flash’s eighth season. The episode is set to air on Wednesday, April 27th. Thus far this season on The Flash, the team has been dealing with the emergence of a terrifying metahuman threat in the Black Flame, an entity that has been killing people with flames literally so cold they burn. This week’s episode teased that the Black Flame could somehow be Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell), formerly half of Firestorm and Caitlin Snow’s (Danielle Panabaker) deceased husband—though it’s not clear if that’s real or just another manipulation of Black Flame. On the surface, this new episode description makes it sound like the episode preceding “Death Rises” (next week’s “Resurrection” may resolve the Black Flame issue as it references a new meta terrorizing the city, but it also refers to them as a mass murderer which could definitely still be Black Flame. Check it out for yourself below.
