The Flash Season 2: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After The Fury Of Firestorm

9. Where Was Jay Garrick?

Jay Garrick was all determined to return to his home planet of Earth-2 last week, before being convinced by Caitlin to stay around a while longer, to help them figure out what the hell was going on with Zoom (and so she could continue making goo-goo eyes at him). So, Jay's supposed to be the new mentor figure, and is basically living at STAR Labs where quite a bit of this episode takes place. Where on Earth(-1) was he then? He didn't make a single appearance in this episode, nor was there even a reference to him. While it wasn't exactly to the detriment of the story not having Jay around, in the context of the show it didn't really make much sense that he wouldn't be there at all. However, Teddy Sears, who plays the (former) speedster, may have given us a pretty simple explanation (but really, heroes can't afford to sleep in Jay).

Jay Garrick couldn't figure out his new iPhone, set the alarm for PM, slept in, missed all the fun. #Earth1Problemshttps://t.co/pZI1S0rHQV
