The Flash Season 2: 16 WTF Moments From 'The Reverse-Flash Returns'

by Andrew Pollard

1. Patty€™s Prank

A false alarm, Patty Spivot says as The Flash arrives to save her from an attack as she sits on a train out of Central City. We all know, though, as do Patty and the Scarlet Speedster, that this was just the former Detective€™s way of testing out whether her theory on Barry Allen being The Flash is indeed true. It totally is, of course, and now Patty has her confirmation. It was a sad end to the episode, and an apparent sad end to the relationship between Barry and Patty. Seriously, the two were perfect for each other and Grant Gustin and Shantel VanSanten had a great dynamic together. Both the actress and the character will be missed from the show, but here€™s hoping this isn€™t the last that we€™ve seen of Patty Spivot. The confirmation that Patty now knows Barry is The Flash was a poignant end to a fantastic episode of The Flash, one which was one of the very best outings we€™ve seen from the show to date. Agree with these WTF moments or have some of your own? Take to the comments to let us know.
