Back at STAR labs Wells is working on Turtles cells against Flashs cells. Cisco comes in and talks to Wells about his trigger with his Vibes. Wells seems to figure out what causes the Vibes and has Cisco meet him in the time Vault. Wells walks in with the Reverse Flash suit on and scares him into a Vibe. The adrenaline causes the vibe and the quickest way to trigger it is fear. Wells starts to choke him and he vibes to Reverse Flash robbing Mercury Labs. Cisco comes out of the vibe and tells Wells he saw the Reverse Flash.

We come back to an alarm in Mercury Labs and Reverse Flash wanting to kidnap Christina McGee. Flash speeds in and calls Reverse Flash by his name and lets him know that he’s dead. Reverse Flash said now that he knows the time period Barry is from soon Barry will die. He hits Barry and races away with McGee.

Wells wants him to concentrate on particular people. He see’s Mcgee and Reverse Flash. Reverse Flash gives Mcgee the speed hand of death. Cisco rips off the glasses.

The rest of the team is in the Lab now and Cisco is explaining what he saw and how Reverse-Flash is gone that he was shot back to the future. Wells ask what time is was in that lab. It was 3 hrs later. Cisco can see the future.

Back in STAR Labs they are searching the city for the tech to activate. Joe tells Barry that Patty knows. The alarms goes off that the Tacones is activated. Barry gets there just in time to save McGee. Barry destroys the machine and Reverse-Flash’s way home. Reverse-Flash doesn’t think Barry is fast enough to catch him.

Patty is sitting in Barry’s chair in his lab. Patty confronts Barry about being the Flash. Patty doesn’t want him to lie anymore. She just wants the truth. That if he admits he’s the Flash and she’ll stay. Barry doesn’t admit it and Patty leaves crying.

Barry is in front of Reverse Flash’s cell. Barry wants to know why he hates him so much. Reverse-Flash knew it was his fate to be the opposite. Barry said the race is over. Reverse Flash says it’s not over he knows the time period and soon he’ll know his name.  Caitlin comes over the loudspeaker and tells Barry they need him. Cisco is in a massive seizure that they don’t know if they can stop. Caitlin sedates Cisco. Cisco is fating away. Wells says Barry has to send Reverse-Flash back they’ve messed with the timeline.
