The Flash Season 2: 13 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Welcome To Earth-2'

2. So, We Can Rule Out A Couple More Contenders For Zoom's Identity?

Well, so much for those theories that Zoom is the Earth-2 version of Barry Allen. Ok, it's not definitively ruled out, but it would now take a major and quite ridiculous rug-pull for Barry to be Zoom, given a) he's a rather hapless sort, and b) he's holed up in STAR Labs with Harry Wells. So unless he's a really good actor, and managed to escape without Harry noticing, he ain't Zoom. The other big theory was that Zoom is Henry Allen from Earth-2. Again, still plausible, but Barry speaks to his 'mother' in this episode (and what a choker that scene was), and they speak about his dad, so again it makes this theory seem less plausible, though doesn't completely rule it out. Can we still consider these two contenders, or are they fully ruled out? If the latter, who's left? Eddie? Apart from that, there aren't many other options based on Earth-1 characters.
