Warning: Spoilers for The Flash season 8, episode 8

The Arrowverse may have spoiled the identity of The Flash’s mysterious serial killer. The Flash season 8, episode 8, titled “The Fire Next Time” kicked off a new arc that appears to be focused on a new metahuman threat that’s emerged in Central City. Right now, Team Flash has no idea who they’re up against or what they want.

For most of the episode, Team Flash and the police acted under the false assumption that the Hotness, a one-time villain from The Flash season 4, was the killer they were looking for. He had a motive for both murders and his fire powers linked him to the charred corpses found at the scene. By the end of the episode, Barry (Grant Gustin) was able to exonerate the Hotness.

The final scene of the episode teased that figuring out who this person will be the next big challenge for Team Flash in season 8.

Not only that, but The Flash mentioned a nuclear fusion connection, which does reflect the nature of Firestorm’s Arrowverse powers.
