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

13. Wally€™s Criminal Pals

With Wally West still very much in murky water when it comes to us understanding his character €“ after all, this is a young man with a dying mother and who has just had an insta-dad thrown at him €“ it seems as if he€™s a little bit of a bad boy when it comes to his extracurricular activities. When visiting Joe at CCPD, some no-good sort who€™s been brought in to the station in cuffs instantly recognises Wally and drops a quick line that refers to him as €œTail Lights€. Clearly the pair have met before, and the surprise here is that Wally is seemingly known amongst certain law-breakers. Getting name-dropped by an arrested felon whilst stood next your lawman pops in the police station is surely never a good thing for poor Wally West, but it makes you wonder what this newcomer has gotten up to in his past.
