'The Flash' Season 2 Episode 10 Spoilers: Will Patty Finally Find Out the Truth About Barry?
Last season, it was Iris (Candace Patton) who was left out of the big "The Flash" secret, but she eventually found out that her childhood friend, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), is the masked superhero of Central City. This season, the one in the dark is Detective Patty Spivot (Shantel VanSanten), who is also Barry's current love interest, and fans wonder if she'll ever find out that the man she is dating is also The Flash.
According to Design & Trend, Joe West's (Jesse L. Martin) partner might finally discover that Barry and The Flash are just one person, since Barry has been contemplating about telling her the truth. However, the only thing that stops the speedster is knowing that everyone who knows about him is eventually put into danger.
"He's trying to tiptoe around it without blatantly lying to Patty at first, which creates some awkward situations," Grant Gustin told Entertainment Weekly. The actor added that since Barry's been lying to those who don't know his identity longer than before, it has been easier to do that now. "He's getting used to lying to people that he loves to try to keep them safe," Gustin shared. It seems that the point where he tells Patty about The Flash might finally happen soon since the synopsis for the next episode teased fans about it.
The Futon Critic posted the full summary of "The Flash" season 2 episode 10, and the synopsis reads, "Joe and Iris get to know Wally. Now that they've grown closer, Barry (Grant Gustin) considers telling Patty (guest star Shantel VanSanten) that he is The Flash. Meanwhile, Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and Iris (Candice Patton) try to get to know Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale), and the team hunts down a meta-human who can slow time itself."
The episode, which is titled "Potential Energy," was directed by Rob Hardy and was written by Bryan Q. Miller. "The Flash" will be back from break this Jan. 19, Tuesday, on The CW network.
