The Flash season 8, episode 8 trailer has Barry investigating a crime similar to his father's. The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, who works as a crime-scene investigator when not fighting crime as a superhero. A big part of The Flash's origin story is the murder of his mother, a crime for which his father was framed for. The real murderer was Eobard Thawne aka Reverse Flash, who would go on to become The Flash's main arch enemy throughout the comics and the show.
So far in The Flash season 8, Barry has spent a huge amount of time fighting the threat of Armageddon, teaming up with fellow superheroes to take down the villainous Despero. However, it was revealed that Thawne was still alive and had caused a Reverse-Flashpoint, which prompted Barry to enlist the help of Damien Darhk to restore the timeline. Thawne is captured and locked up, once again leaving the door open for his continued threat against team Flash.
