“Wherever you need to go, whatever you need to do, do it. All seemed well on Earth-Prime, but in the episode’s final minutes, Barry confided in Iris that “I feel more broken than I’ve ever felt in my life,” admitting he wasn’t ready to begin a relationship with her yet. Following Zoom’s defeat, the Earth-2 version of Harrison Wells and his daughter, Jesse, also decided to return to their world, taking Jay with them. The finale also allowed Barry to defeat Zoom without killing him, after utilizing the time wraiths that had been following Zolomon through the multiverse to do the dirty work for him. The name Jay Garrick may have been tainted by Hunter Zolomon’s betrayal, but the real Jay certainly held himself like a hero.
At the time, Barry clearly didn’t think anything of it, but in the wake of Henry’s death, seeing that familiar face (in the guise of one of the DC Universe’s most iconic heroes, no less) was a particularly powerful moment, shocking Barry to his core. The tie between the Allen and Garrick families was teased earlier in the season in Episode 20, “Rupture,” when Henry told Barry that Garrick was the maiden name of Barry’s paternal grandmother. Shipp also played the original live-action iteration “The Flash” in CBS’ ’90s version, bringing things full circle. The Season 2 finale of “The Flash” kept the twists coming, as the show finally unveiled the identity of the mysterious man in the iron mask - and Zoom’s silent prisoner was revealed to be none other than the real, Earth-3 version of Jay Garrick, portrayed by John Wesley Shipp - who also played Barry’s father, Henry Allen, up until his tragic death at the end of last week’s episode. This post contains spoilers for “ The Flash” Season 2 finale, Episode 23, titled “The Race of His Life.”
