How stupid is Barry... he has the balls enough to lie to Patty and let her go, but then when she calls BARRY, and THE FLASH shows up before she even hangs up the phone, what does he think she's going to think. His response when she told him "there's someone with a gun" should've been "you're a cop, handle it".
Good episode, but honestly, the Barry/Patty story arc was getting on my nerves. Let's just lose the whole love-life sub plots for ALL superheroes, k?
