The Flash 205: The Darkness and the Light
By Bobby Doherty @thehorndogg

We are in Earth 2 and Harrison Wells is giving a speech about Meta-Humans. STAR labs have developed Meta-Human apps that alert people when Meta-Humans are around. Jay enters the press-conference calling out Wells. Saying that Wells created all the Meta-Humans including Zoom. Harrison says everyone would be safe Jay just did his job and stopped Zoom. Jay races off and Wells’ daughter ask him if he is alright. Wells continues the future speech.

Back in Earth 1 Wells is in STAR labs Barry is introduces him to the team. The team tries to explain the Wells of Earth 1 but Earth 2 Wells says he’s his own person. He returns the back that was thrown through the speed cannon. The team wants to run test on him. Wells says he’s here to help Barry stop Zoom. Wells says he knows everything about Zoom because he created him. The team doesn’t trust him. Joe walks in and shoots at Wells. Barry catches all the bullets. Joe wants to know to how he is still alive. Barry takes Joe for a walk. Caitlyn says she knows how to confirm what he’s saying. Barry and Joe are in the hall are talking about Wells. Barry finds out that Joe knew about Wells being back. Joe is going to tell Iris what’s going on.

Iris is at the newspaper she is eavesdropping on a conversation between the editor and a writer. Joe walks in and they both leave. Joe explains what’s going on. Joe doesn’t trust Wells and gives Iris a gun to protect herself.

Barry and Cisco are in the coffee shop talking about Wells. Patty walks up from behind and overhears the time travel. She starts to tell Cisco about King Shark. She says she has to write up her report and ask if Barry wants to help. Cisco makes faces at the awkward exchange and tells Barry he needs to ask her out. Barry makes fun of Cisco about asking a girl for her number. Cisco approaches the counter and ask the barista out. She rejects him. Cisco goes into a vibe moment. He see what looks to be a robbery and a meta human female that shoots from her hands. He comes out of it and tells Barry to go to the Bank know they have another person that has breached.

Barry is racing to the bank. The meta-human starts to attack him. She throws off a light force and then is gone. Barry returns to STAR labs and Wells lets Barry know he’s dealing with Dr. Light. Her ability is draw power from STAR light. Wells wants to capture Light to draw Zoom in. Jay interrupts and lets Wells know that’s not going to happen. We find out that Zoom has grown in power and speed with the absence of Jay from Earth 2. Jay warns Barry not to be reckless. Barry turns his attention to Cisco and ask how he knew about the robbery. Cisco says his phone alerted him. Cisco then tries to distract everyone by saying he can find Light with the satellites.

Barry is back at the police station and finally ask Patty out on a date. Its on for tomorrow Barry doesn’t want to wait anymore.
Cisco walks in on Wells using his workstation. Wells wants to know why Cisco can’t look at him. Cisco explains the knife hand to the chest and how Barry time traveled to erase that time line. Wells says that Cisco may not like Wells but they must work together. Wells wants to check Cisco’s work. Cisco leaves the room as he does Wells closes his meta-human detector watch. He knows Cisco’s secret. Another alarm goes off at a bank. Jay assures Barry that Light isn’t a killer and that he can talk to her.

Barry finds Light in the safe. He assures her that they can protect her from Zoom. She take down her visor to reveal that she’s Linda Park. Barry calls her by her real name and she gets nervous and blast Barry with a light source that blinds him.

Barry is getting examined by Caitlyn. We find out he’s going to be temporary blinded. Wells and Jay start bickering about how he should have never had a conversation with her. Barry lets them know that it was Linda Park he’s ex. Wells thinks Zoom sent her because he knew Barry would hesitate in seeing her. Cisco ask how Zoom knew they dated. Barry is worried that Light might do something now she knows she has a doppelganger on this Earth. Barry says he’s going to go but Jay steps up because Barry can’t see. Iris walks in and looks at Wells. Wells finds out that he’s responsible for the death of her fiance. Barry ask about Iris mom and we find out she skipped town. Iris finds out Barry is going on a date with Patty. Cisco is going to be Barry’s eyes on the date.

Barry and Cisco are now on the date with Patty. Cisco is feeding lines to Barry on how she looks. Barry does some fumbling with the wine list. Cisco lets him know that he’s doing great.

We now cut to Jay and Caitlin’s stakeout. Caitlin starts to ask Jay about Zoom. Jay lets her know that Zoom scares him. Jay doesn’t trust Wells and lets Caitlin know about the tech apps. Caitlin says he doesn’t trust Wells either but trust Jay.

Back on the date with Barry. They are doing first date conversations. Barry forgets about Cisco and gets startled. Patty calls Barry out about not being able to see. Barry takes off the glasses and says he got his pupils dilated earlier in the day and didn’t want to cancel on her.

Caitlin is playing a game of what’s different on the Earths with Jay. We find out that Atlantis is above ground on Earth 2 and Jay’s best friend is from there (Aquaman Reference). Just before Caitlin and Jay kiss Dr. Light blast the van. She then enters the newspaper company and let’s Earth 1 Linda Park that she’s here for her life.

Jay and Caitlin wake up from the blast in the van. Jay crawls out of the car and goes to rescue Linda from Dr. Light. Dr. Light is planning on taking over Linda life. Linda’s editor attempts to stab her with a letter opener but she kills him with a beam of light. Jay walks in just as Iris shoots off Dr. Light’s helmet. Jay said that he understand what she’s going through. She does a light clap and knocks everyone over. Everyone stands up and Dr. Light is gone.

Patty and Barry are walking the city. Patty is leading Barry. They eventually get to kiss. Just as they kiss Barry gets his vision back. Both phones ring and they are alerted that there’s an issue at the newspaper. Both leave to investigate. Barry feels guilty that he was on a date and someone died.

Back at STAR labs Wells is blaming Jay for putting ideas in Barry’s head. Wells is sure that Barry can do what Jay never could and that’s defeat Zoom. Wells calls Jay a coward and they start to fight after a few punches are thrown Barry break them up. Barry is in the lab with Wells and Wells tells Barry that he should be teaching Jay. Wells again lets Barry know that he is not the Evil Wells and that if Barry trust him they can catch Zoom using Light. Barry lets Wells know about the mask. Wells knows how to use the make to find Light. Wells outs Cisco powers and wants Cisco to use his vibe to find her.

Barry ask Cisco why he hasn’t told them yet. Cisco was afraid because of Earth 1 Harrison Wells speech. Wells2 says he can be sorry later. Cisco explains when he gets vibes. Wells tells him to touch the mask. Cisco grabs that mask but nothing happens. Wells yells at him to keep trying. Cisco says he can’t make it happen. Wells says he can and forces him to touch it. Cisco vibes and we find out she’s at a train station. They start to fight. Wells tells Barry to run fast enough to create a speed mirage. He fails at first but with some encouragement from Jay he defeats her.

After Wells helped with Light Barry tells the team that they need to follow what Wells is telling them. Jay still doesn’t believe they can stop Zoom. Jay still doubts Wells. Jay walks out on the team.

Cisco is back at the coffee shop. The lady behind the counter wants Cisco to ask her out again. Cisco introduces himself to Kendra Saunders(Hawkgirl). Cisco brings the coffees to the table and Caitlin says he needs a cool name. Cisco gets his vibe name. Wells is looking in on the team.

On Earth 2 Zoom has captured Well’s Daughter. Zoom lets her know that what happens to her and her dad is still to be decided……
