The Flash Season 2: 15 WTF Moments From 'Potential Energy'

by Andrew Pollard

1. The Return Of The Reverse-Flash

What€™s that saying, you can€™t keep a good villain down? Despite ceasing to exist at the end of Season 1, the Reverse-Flash was seen here arriving in present-day Earth-1. What was most surprising here is that Eddie Thawne sacrificing himself at the end of the first season was supposed to wipe his future generations, including Eobard Thawne, out of existence and stop them ever being born. So, it was mighty shocking to see Eobard, in his pre-Harrison Wells state, land in Central City. Judging by him asking Gideon where he is, it seems he€™s a little lost, but his arrival throws up a whole load of questions about just how this is possible, how this will tie-in with The Flash, and just what repercussions will come from all of it. Agree with these WTF moments? Have some of your own? Let us know in the comments.
