1. Or Is He Working With Zoom?
This is the curveball that's really offered up by this episode. Jay has already lied about how he lost his speed, has trained Barry to get faster and develop new powers, and conveniently disappeared at some key moments when he could've been useful. Now he's idiotically waited in front of the breach, so either he's just that stupid, and is either dead or Zoom's prisoner, or it's all a ruse, he's alive, and has been working with Zoom all along. Does this twist really work? In terms of logic, yes, as outlined above it could certainly fit. In terms of the show, though, and the audience? Well, there's an air of it just repeating Season 1's Wells/Reverse-Flash arc, but there's nowhere near as much investment because Jay hasn't been as important or close to Barry. Still, it might give Jay something to do. With Hunter Zolomon out there, and someone resembling Jay in an iron mask, plus the one we know being potentially killed, there's a lot to play with in that arc moving forwards.
