The Flash Season 9 E09 Fight Scene "Homage" to Arrow Action: Panabaker

The CW's The Flash star/S09E09 director Danielle Panabaker teased the upcoming episode, including its fight scene "homage" to Arrow.

When your ninth & final season consists of only 13 episodes, every episode matters. And that's never been truer than with The CW's Grant Gustin (Barry Allen), Candice Patton (Iris West-Allen) & Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin Snow)-starring The Flash. Between the show's creative team looking to wrap up its storylines and the expectations that fans have to get some kind of Arrowverse closure, there's a ton to squeeze in with little time to do it. That said, we would be lying if we said that a ton of fans have their radars set for the Panabaker-directed ninth episode, which sees the return of Arrow stars Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen) & David Ramsey (John Diggle/Spartan), as well as Keiyan Lonsdale (Wally West/Kid Flash) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Dr. Ramsey Rosso/Bloodwork). Speaking with TVLine, Panabaker (who will also see some developments in her new character during the episode) is clueing fans in on what they can expect.

Of course, when costumed folks meet up, there tends to be this natural instinct to fight. Should we be expecting a spandex smackdown? "There is [a fight]," Panabaker shared, followed by a very intriguing tease. "And my understanding is that one of the stunts we did was one of the biggest stunts that has ever been done on 'Flash.'" But the fight scene looks to do more than just raise the bar on Arrowverse action. Panabaker revealed that it's "a fight sequence that was my homage to the incredible fight sequences that they did on 'Arrow' all those years. So, it's a packed, full episode, absolutely." So between the action and the Barry (Gustin) & Oliver reunion, what kind of reaction is the director expecting from viewers? "There won't be a dry eye in the house at the end of that episode. It's extremely emotional."
