The Flash Season 2: 14 WTF Moments From 'Fast Lane'

11. Francine, RIP

Ever since Joe€™s former wife Francine debuted earlier in the season, we€™ve known that she was terminally ill. As of last week, she was literally on death€™s door as Joe, Iris and Wally seemingly said their final words to her. But, from what we were led to believe, she was still just about alive. Well, that€™s not the case now. With no real mention of it, Fast Lane just casually saw it dropped in that Francine is no longer of this world. Sure, she was a minor supporting character, but you would€™ve still thought that she€™d have been given an on-screen death and one final hard-hitting moment for the Wests.
