The Flash Season 2: 20 Most Shocking Moments (So Far)

19. Jesse Quick

The concept of showcasing Earth-2 in The Flash is a hugely intriguing one and throws up a whole host of questions. For instance, we get to see what could€™ve been in the future for Earth-1€™s Harrison Wells if he€™d have taken a certain path and, more importantly, not been killed off and had his identity assumed by time-travelling uber-rogue Eobard Thawne. Over on Earth-2, we get to see that €œHarry€ Wells has himself a young daughter by the name of Jesse, giving DC fans the show€™s take on Jesse Quick, herself a speedster in the comic book world. Not only was Wells having a daughter a shocker, her being Jesse Quick was another surprise, and then the icing on the cake saw her kidnapped and held hostage by Season 2€™s €˜big bad€™, Zoom.
