According to executive producer Todd Helbing, the mysterious return of the Reverse-Flash will affect the next few episodes of the TV series. He added that the character’s impossible return to Central City puts a member of the S.T.A.R. Labs team in an unexpected danger and will force Barry to make a life-changing decision.
Because of the presence of two powerful villains, fans should expect a more action-packed second half of Season 2 of “The Flash.”
Another dilemma that Barry Allen has to deal with is whether or not he is ready to tell Patty that he is The Flash.
While the TV series has been consistent with the storylines in the comic books, there are occasional deviations too. Barry Allen has not revealed his identity to any person outside of the S.T.A.R. Labs team and members of Team Arrow from its mother series “Arrow” also on The CW so it is unlikely that he will bare his secret to Patty.
Another interesting plotline that fans should watch out for in the second half of Season 2 of “The Flash” is the emergence of Wally West in Central City during the midseason finale.
Joe West, played by Jesse L. Martin, and Iris will attempt to get to know Wally. There is still no indication that the show plans to make Wally into a speedster like he is in the comics, but it is likely that the showrunners are considering it in future episodes.
