Second Barry Allen ARROW Episode Description is Up

FlashTVNews has the description for “Three Ghosts”, the second part of Barry Allen’s two-part guest spot on Arrow.

OLIVER IS VISITED BY GHOSTS FROM THE PAST — After a fight with Cyrus Gold AKA the Acolyte (guest star Graham Shiels), Oliver (Stephen Amell) is drugged and left for dead. Determined to cure him, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) makes a risky decision. The cure causes Oliver to hallucinate, and what he sees forces him to confront his past. Meanwhile, Barry (guest star Grant Gustin) continues to help Felicity, and their connection grows stronger. The Arrow asks Lance (Paul Blackthorne) to look into Gold, but when the stakeout on Gold goes bad, someone is killed. Roy (Colton Haynes) is captured and tortured by Brother Blood (guest star Kevin Alejandro). John Behring directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kresiberg and teleplay by Geoff Johns & Ben Sokolowski (#209).

Arrow Episode Description: The Scientist

FlashTVNews is reporting that CW has released the description and airdate for the December 4 episode of Arrow that brings Barry Allen back to TV.

Arrow #2.8 “The Scientist” Description – Grant Gustin Guest Stars As Barry Allen (The Flash)

BARRY ALLEN COMES TO STARLING CITY — A seemingly impossible robbery at Queen Consolidated’s Applied Sciences Division brings Central City police scientist Barry Allen (guest star Grant Gustin) to town.  Citing a similar case back home, Barry offers to help Oliver (Stephen Amell) and team with the investigation.  Oliver senses there is more to Barry than meets the eye, but he’s distracted by the similarities between this current case and something that happened on the island.  Meanwhile, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) takes a liking to Barry, which doesn’t go unnoticed by Oliver.  Sin (guest star Bex Taylor-Klaus) asks Roy (Colton Haynes) for help when a friend of hers goes missing.  Roy is surprised when Thea (Willa Holland) not only encourages him to help, but joins the search.  Unfortunately, Sin’s friend is connected to Brother Blood (guest star Kevin Alejandro), and their search ultimately gets one of them seriously injured.  Michael Schultz directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kresiberg and teleplay by Andrew Kreisberg & Geoff Johns (#208).

The Flash and Deadman team up to stop The Miner – by killing him?

This is part two of a three-part arc that Brian Buccellato is writing solo after the end of the Manapul/Buccellato run. He mentions the Miner, a new character, in an interview last week.

Also: Steampunk Flash variant? I’m intrigued. We’ve featured an awesome steampunk Flash cosplay from 2011, as well as a set of custom action figures and a steamunk JLA cosplay group. I guess it depends on whether Chaykin goes for a neo-Victorian aesthetic or just random brass accessories.
