The Flash Season 2: 8 Ups And 2 Downs From 'The Race Of His Life'

Whilst Harry, Joe, Iris, Cisco and Caitlin thought it best to lock Barry up in one of their meta-human holding cells, it was good to see Wally West be the one to take the initiative here and help out The Flash.

Given the relationship between Wally and Barry in the comic book realm, and how Wally steps up from being Kid Flash to becoming the actual Flash in Barry’s absence, it was good to see Wally be the one who went against orders and put his faith in Barry, freeing him so that he could go after Zoom and save the day.

Even though Barry may not have necessarily been in the best frame of mind to tackle Zoom during the first half of the episode, it still shows the undeniable faith Wally has in him, and hopefully this is something that Barry will remember going forward.

Then again, all bets are off for the future given how the season came to an end.
