Fresh off the heels of the latest announcement about his own TV series, The CW have released the first images of actor Grant Gustin as Barry Allen in his upcoming debut on Arrow. Set to be featured in the eighth episode of the new season, Gustin will appear in two episodes of the hit series before spinning off into his own potential series, “The Flash.”
Titled “The Scientist,” the episode is described as follows:
“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 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 takes a liking to Barry, which doesn’t go unnoticed by Oliver. Sin (guest star Bex Taylor-Klaus) asks Roy for help when a friend of hers goes missing. Roy is surprised when Thea 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.”
Arrow airs on Wednesdays at 8 P.M. ET/PT on The CW.
