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

6. Harry And Cisco

Tom Cavanagh’s Harrison Wells was one of the most enjoyable parts of The Flash’s first season, meaning it was all sad faces amongst fans when Wells, aka Reverse-Flash, was killed at the end of the show’s debut season.

Luckily, it didn’t take long for Cavanagh to turn up in Season 2 as Earth-2’s Wells, and ever since then he’s bounced brilliantly off Carlos Valdes’ Cisco Ramon. The two are the show’s version of the odd couple, of strange bedfellows, of The Rock ‘n’ Sock Connection, of… of… you get the idea.

Whilst they’ve constantly bickered and Wells has a sense of disdain in his voice in how he purely refers to Cisco as simply Ramon, there’s a tight bond between the pair; a bond that seemed to finally openly blossom here.

Not only were Cisco and Harry a part of a Team Flash that helped take down Zoom, not only did Harry get to finally go home, but the biggest shocker was how Wells finally called Cisco by his first name.
