The Flash Season 2: 13 Big Questions We're Asking After 'The Darkness And The Light'

2. Jesse Quick Is Harrison Wells' Daughter?

We barely had five minutes of screentime set in Earth Two this week, and yet it has managed to throw up all sorts of questions. Wait, Harrison Wells has a daughter? That one makes sense when you think about it, but it was a surprising reveal at the time. Even more surprising was the fact that his daughter is played by Violett Beane. The relatively unknown actress was announced earlier this year to be playing the female speedster Jesse Quick in the second season of The Flash, and yet here she is as the offspring of Harry. So, Earth Two Harrison Wells is the father of Jesse Quick, and Zoom has captured her. Is she already a speedster at this point then? Does her father know (if so, shouldn't he have been aware that she was in danger before leaving for Earth One)? Just how (regardless of whether she has speed or not) will she escape?
