Sinestro and the Power of Fear
The trailer for Episode 8 features Sinestro challenging the Lantern Corps’ belief that there should be no fear

The trailer also depicts Hal Jordan fighting a fire in his home, a scene that may have occurred before his death. Theories suggest Hal may have created a clone of himself to fake his own death, a possibility recently hinted at by James Gunn.
