The cover page to the upcoming, eighteenth episode of Supergirl‘s first season, titled “Worlds Finest,” has been released online.
That’s the episode which will guest star Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, and will air on March 28.

As commenters have already noted, it seems likely the “Worlds” rather than “World’s” is a clue that there is more than one Earth at play.
Fans have debated whether any potential crossover between The Flash and Supergirl would require travel between alternate earths — a concept familiar to viewers of The Flash but new to Supergirl fans — since there had been repeated references to Superman’s fame and career on Supergirl and no such references on Arrow or The Flash.
World’s Finest was a long-running comic book series that usually starred Batman and Superman together. More recently, when DC launched the New 52, they had a Power Girl/Huntress team-up book titled Worlds’ Finest, the title of which was meant to reflect that while they were operating on the main DC earth, they came from Earth-2.
