The Flash Season 2: 10 Things That Need To Happen Before The Mid-Season Break
9. Barry Tells Patty His Secret
Patty Spivot has been an awesome addition to The Flash in almost every way. She's fun to watch in her own right, her and Barry have great chemistry, and she's an excellent foil for Joe as his new partner. There's just one little problem. For some reason, Barry is insistent about not telling her his secret. We've been through this with his love interest before, last year with Iris, and it was massively detrimental to her character. Although we're not at that stage yet with Patty, it is still annoying to see. This is especially the case as she not only knows about metahumans, but is part of the task force fighting against them. Girl can handle herself. If the show is going to be serious about this relationship going forwards, then Barry needs to let her in on his secret - he even told Linda Park, for goodness' sake - sooner rather than later.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
