The Top 10 Most Suspenseful Moments From ‘Arrow’ & ‘The Flash’

2. ‘Out Of Time’

The episode Out of Time from The Flash‘s first season could have been a season finale. It started out relatively formulaic as Weather Wizard was introduced with a vendetta against Joe for killing his brother in the pilot. The show took an insane turn in the final third act as it built up a number of dire circumstances that were about the be erased by Barry accidentally time traveling for the first time. Not only was Central City seconds away from being drown in a tidal wave caused by Weather Wizard as Joe was bound and gagged and forced to watch, but Barry ended up revealing himself to Iris and Cisco figured out Well’s secret leading to one of the saddest deaths in any of the show’s timelines.

Cisco had been puzzled by the Reverse-Flash’s appearance during the mid season finale, The Man in the Yellow Suit, when he escaped for the forcefield trap Team Flash had set for him. Unfortunately for Cisco, he put Caitlin in charge of distracting Wells, and as it she turns out that is one of the few things she is truly terrible at. Wells realizes something is up and goes to S.T.A.R. labs. When he meets Cisco there, he had just figured out that the Reverse-Flash they had previously encountered was a hologram and Wells has been the villain all along. After a depressing speech about how Cisco was like a son to Wells, he drove his hand through Cisco’s chest, instantly killing him. Luckily, Barry just so happened to accidentally time travel just a little while later. What are the chances?
