The Flash vs Reverse-Flash? Mia's "Lost Loved One"? Armageddon Part 5
Only two chapters into The CW's The Flash Season 8 "Armageddon," and it's looking like Despero's (Tony Curran) prediction about Barry (Grant Gustin) giving way to madness and destroying the Earth is coming to pass. But as Barry looks to Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lightning (Cress Williams) for some guidance, Iris (Candice Patton) has her doubts about Despero's vision of the future so she looks for help from someone who might just know a thing or two about these matters. But if you've been looking over the episode overviews for the first four chapters, you'll notice one name in particular that's been missing: Kat McNamara's Mia Queen aka Green Arrow. Well, Mia stops being MIA in the overview for the fifth & final chapter as she "drops in from the future to save a lost loved one" (let's start the speculation now…) no matter who or what stands in her way. Add to that Barry being given the opportunity to end his deadly dance with Reverse-Flash (Tom Cavanagh) once and for all, and you'll see why the special event is living up to its name:
The Flash Season 8 Episode 5 "Armageddon, Part 5": THE EXCITING CONCLUSION TO THE FIVE PART ARMAGEDDON EVENT BRINGS THE RETURN OF MIA QUEEN – The conclusion to Armageddon presents an opportunity for The Flash (Grant Gustin) to end his lifelong battle with Reverse-Flash (guest star Tom Cavanagh) for good, but the payoff could be too much for Barry and team to handle. Meanwhile, Mia Queen (guest star Katherine McNamara) drops in from the future looking to save a lost loved one, and she won't let anything stand in her way. Menhaj Huda directed the episode written by Kristen Kim.

Here's a look at the official promo and overview for The Flash Season 8 Episode 3 "Armageddon, Part 3":
The Flash Season 8 Episode 3 "Armageddon, Part 3": BLACK LIGHTNING, RYAN WILDER, ALEX DANVERS AND RYAN CHOI APPEAR – Barry (Grant Gustin) meets Black Lightning (guest star Cress Williams) at the Hall of Justice after things take a dire turn with Despero (guest star Tony Curran). Iris (Candice Patton) suspects something is off with Despero's vision of the future so she seeks help from a powerful ally. Javicia Leslie, Chyler Leigh, and Osric Chau guest star. Chris Peppe directed the episode written by Sam Chalsen.
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. But his life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry… bestowing him with superspeed and making him the fastest man alive — The Flash. After stopping the Godspeed War last season, it's six months later and Barry and Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) are now at the top of their game—both in their careers as superhero and reporter and as a devoted couple. But when the powerful alien Despero unleashes near annihilation on Central City, The Flash and his team—Caitlin Snow/Frost (Danielle Panabaker), Meta-Empath Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet), the light-powered meta Allegra Garcia (Kayla Compton), brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (Brandon McKnight) and retired detective Joe West (Jesse L. Martin)—must once again defy impossible odds to save the day. But their victory is short-lived as two new threats rise from the ashes of "Armageddon," one of which will unleash unforeseen horrors into the lives of Barry and his teammates… and change Team Flash forever.
