Surpassing The Flash's first stellar season was always going to be tough, but so far, Season 2 is off to a terrific start! This episode saw the introduction of two new, key characters: Jay Garrick and Patty Spivot. Jay Garrick, played by Teddy Sears is the Flash from Earth-2, who was pulled into the singularity that Barry created in the finale of last season, and arrived in our Earth-1. He tells the team about Zoom, this season's big bad, and explains how he lost his speed in his final battle with the blue speedster. Jay Garrick is a great addition to the cast; he blends effortlessly with the rest of the team, and his interaction with Barry was a highlight of the episode. His older, wiser but more worn Flash worked really well with Barry's younger, more enthusiastic Flash. Their interaction was great to witness, with Jay acting as a mentor to Barry, and even teaching him an awesome new ability! The other fantastic addition to the cast, is Patty Spivot. Played by Shantel VanSanten, Patty is a young, passionate cop who adamantly wants to join the Anti-Metahuman Task force, and who also happens to be Joe's new partner. Patty is passionate and driven, and incredibly smart, but also hilarious and adorable, and certainly made quite an impression on Barry, who could not stop smiling whenever she was in the room. The chemistry between their two characters was phenomenal and lots of fun, and something I can't wait to see more of! Patty also had arguably the best lines in the episode, especially with her speech to this week's metahuman sent by Zoom, and her talk with Joe about her motivations for joining the task force. All in all, a terrific episode to follow up the premiere. Jay and Patty are inspired additions to the cast, the introduction of the multiverse was amazing, and all comic fans will love the iconic shot that they recreated featuring both Flashes!
