In The Flash recap, the new Harrison Wells is a dick, and Linda Park has an evil twin….

Last week Wells came to help Barry defeat the King Shark, and this week Barry introduced the new Wells to the team. Emotions ran wild, so much so that Papa Joe took three shots, gun shot that is, at Wells. No one likes the new Wells, but they know they have to work with him in order to defeat Zoom. The new Wells doesn’t make things easy on the team, calling Cisco, Crisco, and getting into a fist fight with Jay. To everyone’s surprise, he even reveals that Cisco is a Meta.
There is a new meta in town and it turns out that she is Linda Park’s doppelganger. Jay informs the team that she is passive, and not a killer, while Wells tries to tell Barry he needs to stop her, not talk to her. The first encounter leaves Barry blinded, which is not good. Barry was supposed to have a date with Patty, but without his eyes he doesn’t think he can. Iris talks him into using STAR labs “stuff” and with Cisco’s help he sets off on his date, while rocking some sunglasses.
The feed is in black and white, but the boys work some magic and it doesn’t hinder Barry too much. After some fumbling around the two have a great “blind date”. Patty informs Barry that she knows he can’t see. He fibs and says he got his eyes dilated. She leads him to her car and after a nice date ending kiss, Barry’s eyesight comes back. The two daters, get a phone call officially ending the date.
Linda Park, the earth 2 Linda, found out about her twin, and went to the paper to kill her. Instead she kills the boss, and after Iris shoots off her helmet, she takes off. This is where Wells told the team about Cisco. He forces him to use his powers to find Park. After a few tries Cisco gets his meta powers to work, and he sees her at the train station.
Barry heads to try to stop Park, but she seems to powerful. After a pep talk from Jay Barry tries one last time to stop her. After a successful attempt they finally stop her.
After Barry takes down the meta, Barry and the team meet up at Jitters. Cisco grabs a few Flash drinks, and a number. He comes back to the table and Caitlyn says that since he is a meta, he needs a cool name. After a few seconds of thinking, Barry comes up with Vibe, and Cisco loves it.
Next week’s preview shows a showdown with Zoom. Can the team stop him, or will this be the first of many, many battles?
