The Flash Season 2: 23 WTF Moments From 'Welcome To Earth-2'

4. Joe West, RIP

Whilst seeing Barry hearing his mother€™s voice was a heartbreaking moment, just as sad was the death of Joe West. To many, Joe is the most beloved character on The Flash, and so to see him die here, even if it was an alternative version of him, was one of the saddest moments that the show has given viewers. After an attack from Deathstorm, Joe€™s left in a bad way. A very bad way, as he soon passes away with Iris and Barry at his bedside. Just keep telling yourself €œThis isn€™t the real Joe. This isn€™t the real Joe. This isn€™t the real Joe. This isn€™t the real Joe...€.
