Next week, Team Flash's battle against Dr. Ramsey Rosso comes to a head. Even with the imminent arrival of "Crisis on Infinite Earths," The Flash has one last major hurdle to clear before the crossover swings into action: Barry Allen's infection. Rosso successfully took over Barry's body in the latest episode, but that won't stop the series from building directly into the major Arrowverse event.
"You can look forward to an epic confrontation between Ramsey and Barry. And it’s all obviously building up to the 'Crisis' crossover and all that, which I think the fans are really going to enjoy. It has been a long time coming!" Rosso actor Sendhil Ramamurthy told TVLine.
Barry, of course, is lined up to play a critical role in "Crisis." As revealed in the Season 6 premiere, he will have to sacrifice his life in order to save the multiverse. This season has seen him grappling with this reality, but he has not come to terms with it as much as he pretended to be. So, when Rosso offered him a way out of it, he took it, leading him to become something like Negative Flash. At the time of writing, it is unclear if this will impact his "Crisis" fate, but he seems to be doing just fine in the latest slew of photos from the crossover event.
Airing Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW, The Flash stars Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Carlos Valdes, Danielle Panabaker, Tom Cavanagh, Jesse L. Martin, Danielle Nicolet and Hartley Sawyer.
