The military intervenes and tries to retrieve her, but Flash makes it there first. Sans Souci, who's apparently a sergeant, pays a visit to an Army doctor who experimented on her. Barry sheds his supersuit and outruns the ensuing explosion. The bad news for him is that she has an ability to make whatever she touches take on an explosive quality. The team also track the woman in question, Bette Sans Souci ( Kelly Frye), and Barry runs her down. Wells is familiar with Eiling's work, which experimented in developing mind-reading abilities in civilians. Joe manages to keep one piece of incriminating evidence out of their hands, and gives it over to Barry and the S.T.A.R. At the least, there's something interesting going on back at the police station since the Army's General Eiling ( Clancy Brown) has taken over the investigation since one of their own - the red-headed thief - is involved. Barry's stumped by the nature of the explosive device, but perhaps some speed reading of the room's files will yield something interesting. The next morning, Barry investigates the site of the bombing with Joe and Thawne. He nearly runs directly into Iris, but does his nifty face-shaking trick to mask his identity. Barry manages to run up, save the man, and run him back down to safety all in a day's work.

The bomb knocks a late-night window cleaner from his perch, forcing him to dangle from the side of the building. Meanwhile, a woman robbing a building gets caught in the act by a security guard, but she makes her escape by detonating an explosive device in her backpack.

However, he's apparently developed a drinking problem of sorts, namely that his metabolism converts the alcohol in the shots faster than he can be affected by them.

Not much has changed since last we left The Flash since Barry is still pining for Iris, though he's becoming more socially well-adjusted by hanging out with Cisco and Caitlin as well.
