The CW Network aired the Season 2 finale of The Flash. After his confrontation with super-villain Zoom (voiced by Tony Todd), Twitter had lots to say about the shocking twist between Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and his father Henry Allen (John Wesley Shipp).

In our recent recap, after his father's funeral, Barry was breathed by his friends as he was thrown in a prison cell to keep him from killing Zoom. With his father held prisoner by Zoom, Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) helped Barry escape to race against his enemy. The Flash saved Earth-2 after defeating Zoom, who was taken away by the Time Wraiths. Barry was in shock when he saw his father's doppelgänger, the real Jay Garrick (Shipp).

After kissing the love of his life, Barry left Iris and ran to the past. After saving his mother from death, Barry erased their timeline together.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Shipp explains his returns to the superhero world, "The minute I stepped onto the set, the crew and the cast burst into applause. Of course, I understand that was for the costume designer, who is just brilliant in designing the costume. When the crew comes up to you and says, 'Fantastic, that's great!' it made me feel more comfortable. At one point, bless his heart, Grant turned the monitor around during my big reveal when I turn around in the suit so I could see it. He's like, "Look at this! It's great!" Jesse L. Martin would go, "I'm so glad you agreed to do this." I looked over and saw Candice with her hand over her heart, which is a wonderful expression. I just got the most incredible and wonderful support from the entire cast."

Check out what Twitter to had to say:
