In "Supergirl" season 3, episode 8, there's a parallel world called Earth-X ruled by Nazis. Unfortunately those loyal to Americans as well as other resistances were hunted down by Dark Arrow. Meanwhile, Alex and Kara travelled through a portal to arrive at Earth-1 and attend Barry Allen and Iris West's (Candice Patton) wedding.
Alex is still recovering from her break-up with Maggie (Floriana Lima). Thankfully, she met Sara Lance/White Canary at Barry's wedding to distract her from it and hopefully, help her move on. As for Kara, she joined Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), Iris and Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) for champagne and mani/pedis. Kara, being super strong, even broke the nail equipment. They have a bit of girly chit-chat, which included questions about Felicity and Oliver's relationship. The same went for Barry and Oliver, who wore their tuxedos while talking about vows and love.
Unfortunately, Iris and Barry's wedding was interrupted by invaders from Earth-X, which were led by Dark Arrow and Overgirl, his wife from Krypton. Overgirl was injured by Kara, forcing the Nazis to retreat. They were also able to capture Prometheus (Colin Donnell), who is Dark Arrow's partner.
Elsewhere, the villainous group, which also includes a yellow speedster, regrouped and talked about their next move. At the end of the episode, the yellow speedster was revealed to be Dark Flash/Reverse-Flash aka, Eobard Thawne as Dr. Harry Wells (Tom Cavanagh). As for the dark archer, he is a doppelgänger of Arrow/Oliver Queen. Plus, Overgirl is a doppelgänger of Kara. Larry Teng directed this episode, which was written by Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg (story). The teleplay was written by Jessica Queller and Robert Rovner.
