Episode One: The Man Who Saved Central City
Straight off the bat, we are reminded about the singularity which opened up above Central City at the end of Season One; which Barry Allen (The Flash) runs up a building and debris to run round the rim of the wormhole to make it close up. (In theory, it is possible) Anyways, Firestorm (Prof. Stein & Ronnie Raymond) fly into the eye of the wormhole and separate to defuse the wormhole, overloading it and making it collapse in on itself. Which works, as Prof. Stein and Ronnie fall, Barry is only able to save one of them, saving Prof. Stein.
6 Months Past. Barry says he has to work alone so keep everyone he loves safe. "Flash Day" is dawning, which is the day to thank the Flash and give him the key to the city, from the mayor. But a mysterious man comes to try and kill the Flash, being named Atom Smasher by Prof. Stein, the Flash is unable to stop Atom Smasher. Cisco and Joe use "The Boot", a weapon to keep meta-humans undercover, designed by Cisco fails, making Atom Smasher grows bigger and runs away to stop taking damage. Which Team Flash (Iris West, Joe West, Cisco, Caitlin and Prof. Stein) are not happy about and plan to help him again. Team Flash and Barry notice that Atom Smasher, sucked up all the radiation in the area where Atom Smasher was, tracking Atom Smasher to a warehouse, where Barry tries to fight him alone, which doesn't end well - Atom Smasher nearing kills Barry, but runs away after Cisco was able to hack into the warehouse's alarm system, ringing all the alarms.
Barry realizes that he has to let Team Flash help him more. Later Barry calls Atom Smasher to his position using the Flash Signal, Cisco got the idea from some old comic... (Bat Signal - Batman). Barry makes Atom Smasher chase him to a nuclear power plant, and trapping Atom Smasher into the nuclear core. Atom Smasher is overloaded with too much radiation and is killed. Is his last words; he says "He promised me to take me home..." Barry confused, asking who, Atom Smasher with is last breath says "Zoom." When Barry got back to S.T.A.R.

Firstly, Team Flash discover that the Turtle has been killed, with Jay suspecting Harry kill him. After this Harry and Cisco work on controlling Cisco's ability to vibe; they do this by taking the goggles the team used to see why Cisco got his vibing powers from Season One. Harry determines that Cisco vibing ability comes from fear, he figures this out by dressing up as the Reverse-Flash and scaring Cisco in the Time Vault in S.T.A.R. Labs. From being scared by the Reverse-Flash, he knows that the Reverse-Flash is back, and he is kidnapping Professor McGee at Mercury Labs. When Barry gets back from failing to stop the Reverse-Flash, Harry explains to the Team how is possible that he is back, also explaining how Barry's mother's death is a fixed point in time; this is how Eobard Thawne can be alive, even though this distance grandson Eddie sacrificed himself at the end of Season One.

Cisco then vibes again, seeing Professor McGee being killed by Eobard Thawne; but noticing that that she is killed in the future. The Flash races over to Professor McGee, stops the Reverse-Flash and destroys the Tachyon Machine - which lets the Reverse-Flash go back to his time. From trapping the Reverse-Flash in the pipeline, will resulting in Cisco never getting his vibing abilities, so the Team has to figure out away to send Eobard back to the future. But the team realise that they can use the wormhole from the particle accelerator, with the Flash physically throwing the Reverse-Flash into the future. In doing so, Cisco is saved. Jay then tells Caitlin the reason why they can't find Jay's Earth-1 doppelganger, Earth-1 Jay is named Hunter Zoloman and not having the same life as Jay will result in him having different fluxions in his cells and DNA. Wally asks Iris to go see Francine with him.
