I want you to take a moment, and think about all the things that define your life. All the people you love. Your job. Your coworkers. Your home. And now imagine if one day, in a flash, all of that vanished. Would you simply accept your new life and continue on? Or would you do whatever it takes...to get back what was taken from you?

"I kept asking myself, why would Wells pretend to need a wheelchair?" Cisco asks as me, dad, Cait and Barry stand in front of him in S.T.A.R. Labs.

"Sympathy, I suppose." Cait tells him.

"That's what I thought at first, but he's the man in yellow. He's the Reverse-Flash. He's much smarter than that. Sympathy can't be the only reason." Cisco tells her.

"Yeah, it was a misdirect. Just like everything else Wells has done. I mean, the last person we'd suspect to be the man in yellow is someone who lost the use of their legs." Dad tells him.

"That's exactly right, Joe. Which is why I started messing around with the wheelchair. And that's when I found this." Cisco tells us and shows us a tech glowing under the wheelchair.

"Damn. You can't get that at Radio Shack." Dad tells us.

"What the hell is that?" I ask them.

"It looks like the tech inside Gideon." Barry tells us.

"I measured the output, and this thing is kicking off serious juice. I mean, we're talking enough to power all of Central City." Cisco tells us.

"Seriously?" Dad asks.

"Oh yeah." Cisco tells him.

"What do you think Wells was using it for?" Barry asks.

"I think this thing is some kind of battery." Cisco tells him.

"Battery?" Dad asks.

"As in, Wells was using it to power himself. To gain more speed. And that's why he's so much faster than you." Cisco tells us and then the computer beeps and he and Cait walks over to it.

"What is it?" I ask them.

"The accelerator, it's been reactivated." Cisco tells me.

"It can't be." Cait tells him.

"How is that possible? It blew up." Dad tells us.

"It had to have been rebuilt." Cisco tells him.

"Wells." Barry tells us.

"Even if he did rebuild it, how did Dr. Wells turn the particle accelerator on?" Cait asks.

"Because he's here. He never left." I tell them.

"That's why we couldn't find him. He's been inside S.T.A.R. Labs the whole time." Barry tells us and then he, dad and Cisco walks away, and Cisco takes his drink with him and then me and Cait run into the accelerator room and see Shawna.
