* DeducingTheSecretIdentity: After Barry acts strangely towards Patty, she goes over Barry's old case files and realizes all the ones that involve the Flash saving the day include details that Barry couldn't have known unless he was the Flash. After Joe and Barry try to gaslight her, Patty calls Barry with a fake emergency while on the train to see if and how quickly the Flash shows up. When he realizes he's been caught, he stops vibrating his face in front of her, proving to Patty she was right before they part ways.

*NeverGiveTheCaptainAStraightAnswer: Likely the most egregious example ''ever.'' When asked about his Earth-1 counterpart, Jay ominously tells Caitlin that she had to see for herself. When she arrives we find the alternate Jay sitting on a park bench, pointed out by ours, and he explains that "Hunter Zolomon's" mother died in childbirth and he was passed around between relatives, finally being adopted and having a different name. "I found my alternate; he's adopted so he's got a different name" is really not that hard a sentence! Not only does NOTHING about that require Caitlin to come all the way to the park, Earth-1 Jay/Hunter could've left the park by then to boot.
