"Things were looking a little grim, but part of me was, admittedly, a little excited for a 'reunion' of old friends." This episode is part of a larger crossover series, Armageddon. |
- "You don't think I want to see him dead either? 'Cause I do. If I learned one thing being a cop, it's that you can't just protect the people you think are good. You have to protect everyone. That's what heroes do."
"I know that."
"Do you? A hero is not just in the name, Barry, or in a red suit. It's the choices we make that decide who and what we become. You know that." - —Joe West and Barry Allen
"Armageddon, Part 5" is the fifth and midseason finale episode of the eighth season of The Flash, and the one-hundred-fifty-sixth episode overall. It aired on December 14, 2021. The episode is the fifth and final part of the five-part crossover, Armageddon.
Synopsis
The conclusion to Armageddon presents an opportunity for The Flash to end his lifelong battle with Reverse Flash for good, but the payoff could be too much for Barry and team to handle.

Trivia
- In continuity of the Arrowverse, Mia time travels to 2021 from 2042, two years after William Clayton's abduction in "Green Arrow & The Canaries", set in 2040.
- This is the first episode to feature a one-on-one scene between Caitlin Snow and Eobard Thawne, not counting the deleted scene from "The Trap".
- The boots were added to the Flash's suit in this episode, having previously been referenced in the Season 2 episode "Running to Stand Still" with drawings at James Jesse/Trickster's prison cell.
- Eobard's backstory seems to draw from his DC Rebirth origins, in which Eobard would endanger people and then save them to make himself appear as a hero.
- Nora Darhk expresses sorrow at having to lose her father again, referencing the events of "Mr. Parker's Cul-De-Sac".
Goofs
- Despero attempting to destroy the city in order to kill Thawne contradicts him teling Barry that Thawne had to be erased, not killed, in order to ensure his death earlier in the episode.
- However, he might have changed his mind out of rage for Barry.
- The ending shot shows Bart and Nora appearing in a photo from New Year's Eve in 2014. However, as seen in "Impulsive Excessive Disorder", the picture was actually taken on New Year's Eve in 2013.
