Flash TV Talk 8X08 The Fire Next Time

The recently-paroled Jaco Birch is arrested for the incineration of O'Shaugnessy's manager Stan Mullen who he was arguing with a night prior. He professes his innocence and his desire to be there for his son Harold. With there being no hard evidence against Jaco and with it being Henry Allen's birthday, Barry becomes determined to convince his team of Jaco's innocence. Flash and Frost find the bartender Donna Winters incinerated, however Chester discovers that the methods of burning do not match Jaco's abilities. Flash and Frost stop Jaco from kidnapping Harold from social services, and they work together to stop a lava channel from erupting. At CCC Media, Iris has Allegra interview social media influencer Rosie Levin with her constituent Taylor Downs, but Allegra shirks the interview to pursue a story involving ex-con Lydia Sanchez. Iris agrees to publish both stories and Allegra tries to apologize to Taylor, but she refuses to listen. That night, Jaco and Harold reunite while Joe's family celebrates Henry's birthday. Later, Team Flash focuses their efforts on finding the real killer.
