Barry puts together everything in the prescient about Wells in the past years. "All right, this is everything that we know about Harrison Wells, which is not a lot." Barry admits since it's only a few news reporters on him.

"Didn't you once read a whole book about him once?" Joe asks remembering him talking about it a while back. "Yeah, 600 pages, and the big takeaway is, he's enigmatic." Barry answers him.

"Your Mom was killed by a speedster. Wells' machine turned you into a speedster. That's too many coincidences for this old cop." Joe explains to Barry and he's staring to understand what he means.

"Do you wanted me to become the Flash?" Barry wonders and starts thinking the possibility that he made it so Peter became Spider-Man so he could help Barry become a better hero. Or maybe Peter was in on the plan from the beginning or brought in later. "Everything he's done since that night you got struck by lightning, bringing you to S.T.A.R. Labs, giving you the suit, training you, it's all been to keep you safe." Joe answers him trying to figure out what Wells endgame could be.

"And to make me faster. Wells once said he needed more speed from me. Why?" Barry questions also trying to figure out his endgame himself. "I don't know, but he wants something from you, Barry." Joe states as a fact knowing he wants something and he's been patient enough to wait over ten years for it. "We just need to figure out what it is."

"Joe, you had your suspicions about Wells from the very beginning. You thought he might be the man in yellow." Barry states to him. "Except the blood from your house didn't match him." Joe claims to Barry.

"All right, so maybe he's not the Reverse Flash, but you think he knows what happened that night. He may have the key to getting my dad out of prison." Barry replies wanting to get his dad free.

"Whatever Wells wants from you, it started 15 years ago. He's been patient." Joe says seeing there's something big at play here. Whatever it might be. "We have to be just as patient."

Peter was just walking through the park enjoying the day for once and sees a bunch of children playing in a park, when his senses go off and he looks up to see presents come flying in from a skyscraper.

They get everyone's attention and they look amazed and Peter gets confused but steps forward to get a closer look when one of them hits a tricycle and it explodes causing the tricycle to go up in flames. Everyone starts panicking and runs for cover from them and Peter indistinguishably uses his web shooters to stop as many from hitting the ground hoping Barry can get here.

"Henry?" Someone calls and Peter sees a father looking for his son and Peter sees the kid reaching for a present. Before anyone could do anything, Barry comes speeding in and moves the child.

"Henry!" The father yells happy to see his son's okay. "Henry? Nice name." Barry says and sees Peter standing close and speeds them both to S.T.A.R Labs to see what happened.

-

Once there, they find a video has been broadcasted. "Tricked ya." The man with some strange double diamond mask covering his eyes with some really stupid looking outfit with spikes on his shoulders. "Look who's back. My tricks. My treats. But I'll give you something good to eat. Today's special. A city in ashes. The Trickster proudly welcomes you all to the new disorder." He tells everyone watching menacingly.

"Talking in the third person. That's never a good sign." Cisco states watching the footage.

"You're just mad because he named himself." Caitlin replies regarding his comment.

"Actually, he didn't." Joe informs them. "Twenty years ago, Central City was hit by a series of terrorist attacks. One man killed at least ten civilians, two cops. That guy called himself the Trickster." He explains and Cisco pulls up the file on him and gets a picture of the guy and he looks crazier than the new Trickster.

"Someone was rocking the unitard back in his day." Peter comments seeing the picture.

"James Jesse?" Caitlin questions seeing his name. "Like Jesse James, but twisted." Joe explains to her.

"Where is mr. Jesse now?" Wells asks Joe wondering where he could be. "He's serving several life sentences at Iron Heights." Joe answers since there was nowhere else to take him. "He was just about the most dangerous thing Central City has ever seen." Joe states to them.

"Dr. Octopus, mr. Negative, Scorpion, Rhino, Vulture, Electro, I'm just naming the guys on top of my head." Peter claims since Trickster is probably one if the top ten villains as of this point.

"And that was before the particle accelerator exploded." Barry also states and that puts some bad ideas in Peter's head of those said criminals could have gained with the explosion.

"Barry and I will go to Iron Heights to see James Jesse, see if we can get something from him to get about his groupie." Joe tells them.

"I'll analyzing the video and see if I can figure out the source." Cisco promises them and Peter decides to go on parole in case this Trickster ll wants to make another appearance.

"Hey, Joe." Wells calls out to the man. "Barry alright? He seems cranky." Wells questions seeing Barry. "Even the Flash wakes up on the wrong side of the bed some days. He's fine." Joe answers and Wells doesn't believe that.

-

The two of them make it to Iron Heights and are in a separate part of the prison. "Never seen this part of the prison before." Barry states being in a exclusive part of the prison for psychopath criminals.

"Yeah, has to have this cell specially built for James Jesse five years ago. Ever since then, it's been being filled up by Spider-Man's enemies." The warden explains to Barry.

"Why's That?" Joe questions seeing why not lock them in the same parts of the prison. "A criminal psychologist set up weekly visits with multiple of these people. James and Octavius talked the shrink into committing suicide." Warden tells them and that surprises them, and the warden hands them some candy for Jesse.

They are allowed into the room and see Jesse behind a glass window. His hair looks like it hasn't been combed properly and his prison outfit is worn out from usage. "Gentlemen. Please, be seated." Jesse asks them and they take the seats in front of him. "I'm detective Joe West. This is Barry Allen." Joe introduces them to him already wanting to get as far away from this crazy as soon as possible getting some strange vibes off of him. "We'd like to ask you a few questions."

"I can smell them in your pocket." Jesse tells Barry regarding the twizzlers the warden gave him. Barry walks up to the hole in the window to send things through the window to him.

"Yesterday, hundreds of these parachutes bombs were released throughout Central City." Barry informs him and sends them through. "Fun idea but not an effective delivery system." Jesse states jokingly. "How many died?" Jesse wonders with a whacky crazy smile appearing on his face.

"None, luckily." Joe states to the crazed maniac. "You know, when I was free and at my height, a day without casualties was like...well, like the Cubs winning the pennant. It never happened." Jesse states while laughing at his own joke.

"The explosives they found in all the parachute bombs are the same explosive composition as the bombs you set of 20 years ago." Barry informs Jesse and sees the shock expression that suddenly comes to light. "That's impossible. I never told anyone that formula." Jesse states to Barry not understanding how anyone could've made the same formula as him.

"The signatures are an exact match." Barry tells him and he gets even more angry. "He called himself the Trickster tool, just like you." Joe continues on waiting to get some answers. "He is nothing like me, detective." Jesse claims to Joe hating the new Trickster trying to steal his fame.

"Do you know who he is?" Joe asks Jesse while he grabs the pictures Barry sent through for him to look at. "Oh, if I did, I would tell you, so you could find him, cut off his head, and throw it right in his face." Jesse exclaims to the police. "No, this is obviously the work of a rank amateur at best." He informs the two men. "A nerd pretender angling for my throne."

"I hear you." Joe agrees with the man hoping to get some more answers. "So help us catch him. Prove there's only one Trickster" Joe says ad Jesse sees through him. "Trying to Rick the Trickster, Joseph?" Jesse asks him while taking a twizzler. "There's only one what this could've possibly happened. Whoever he is, he must've found my lair. I ask only one thing, when you find the schtck stealer, this pathetic wannabe fake, make sure your safety's off." Jesse asks of them and starts laughing maniacally while eating the candy.

-

They make it to his hideout and calls in Peter to make sure nothing crazy gets to them. They get to a Prop Warehouse which is where Jesse's hideout is and Peter is seriously creeped out by the crazy things inside the place. "This place looks as if Joker and Jigsaw decoded into interior decorate together." Peter states picking up a strange doll head with a dud explosive inside

"This looks like nobody's been here since the '90s." Joe agrees while Barry looks at Trickster's original outfit. "Look at this thing. You really think Jesse doesn't know who this new Trickster is?" Barry asks Joe while Peter keeps searching.

"He seems pretty agitated that someone was besmirching his bad name." Joe states and they look to see a storage place inside and it's lock. "Peter, you think spider strength can break us in?" Barry asks his friend and Peter does as he asks and breaks the lock off.

"Let's see what skeletons Trickster kept in his closet." Peter jokes and realizes it could be actual skeletons inside. Joe opens the door and Peter senses something and Barry uses his speed to move them away from the door as it explodes off its hinges. "You Good?" Barry asks as Peter is already back up and looking inside the safe.

"We've got a problem, guys." Peter tells them and they look to see it's all empty. "Trickster number ll took everything." Peter states and now they're scared on what could've been hidden here.

-

They decide to pay Jesse another visit, this tie bringing along Peter in his suit since he also wants answers to what the heck just happened. "What, no candy fellas?" Jesse asks and gets a look at Spider-Man. "Oh, here's the man all my new friends constantly talk about." Jesse states since he and the others get talk sessions. All except for the Rhino for obvious reasons of course. "What's your name again? Ant-Man?" Jesse wonders trying to mess with Peter.

"Spider-Man, first off." Peter corrects Jesse. What kind of name is Ant-Man? "Second. That storage you sent these two officers to was booby trapped." Peter informs the manipulative maniac. "You can never be too careful with your private things." Jesse states chuckling.

"You were protecting nothing." Barry says to Jesse. "Your secret Stacy was empty."

"What do you mean?" Jesse now asks and they hear the confusion in his voice. "No firearms, no explosives, except the one attached to the door, or anything of the kind." Peter explains to him. "Whatever you had in there, it was stolen, all of it is gone."

"No. He's stealing my legacy!" Jesse exclaims seriously getting more agitated by the second of hearing all of this. "Whoever he is, you need to find him. I will not let this..."

"Trickster?" Joe asks finishing his sentence. "That is my name! Mine!" Jesse states to Joe screaming as lout as he could. "What was in there?" Peter questions him. "What was so dangerous that you locked it up?"

"A bomb. A really big bomb." He explains to them and they start getting worried by that statement. "How big we talking?" Barry asks Jesse.

"Bye-bye, Central City." Was Jesse's only responde and now they're completely scared when Barry's phone goes off and they found another video and plays it for Jesse.

"Citizens of Central City, or those of you who remain, welcome to Boom Day." Trickster exclaims while laughing. "I'm very proud to report my first trick was an exploding success. But I think you all deserve something much, uh, bigger." Trickster says and Jesse is now gone full anger.

"No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No, take off my mask, you fraud." Jesse tells the new Trickster while he rants about his next trick he's going to pull pretty soon. "Pretender. Sham. Take off my mask!" He shouts and the three men see he's seriously upset now seeing it himself.

-

They go back to S.T.A.R. Labs to review the footage for anything that could help them track him down and found nothing. "This was posted a few hours ago." Wells informs the team. "Whoever this Trickster is, he's certainly not shy."

"Well, not every criminal likes to hide in the dark." Barry states and nobody but Joe understands what he means by that. "Cisco, Peter, could either of you trace where that video came from?" Joe asks the computer group.

"We tried, But this guy is using some crazy Felicity-caliber scrambler like I've never seen." Cisco explains to Joe and Peter agrees. "Yeah, he's even tricking our tracking systems." Peter quips and goes back on subject. "The origin of the upload is coming from hundreds of different locations. Unless he uploads another video, it's gonna be tough to crack."

"This psychopath has the capability to destroy the city." Barry states and looks to Peter. "Can't your six sense tell us where it is?" He womders remembering how it worked in the past. "My spider sense is an early warning system. The only way I could do that is if he sets it off, then it wouldn't do us any good." Peter explains to the speedster.

"Hey, I said tough, not gonna be impossible." Cisco states to the heroes. "We'll catch him. We always do." Caitlin agrees with Cisco and Wells calls Barry out to have a talk with him alone.

After a while there was another video posted and they inform Barry since he seemed to have left. "Get ready for the games to begin!" Trickster tells the watchers of his video and shows a crate with a cartoonish bomb painted on the side. "I have...a bomb." Trickster states to them all. "Its a big bomb, it'll make a Big Bang and then a big hole and then a big drop in the pop...ulation." Trickster warns them and Peter just moans at that.

"We get it, it's a bomb, move on already." Peter tells the video knowing he can't hear him, but it hasn't stopped him before. "But never say the Trickster isn't fair. The bomb is somewhere between 52nd street and Avenue B." Trickster informs them and Peter thinks of something while watching the footage. "Something doesn't seem right." Peter informs his team while Barry is already searching everywhere between the streets searching for the bomb.

"Guys, I can't find it. I need your help." Barry tells them and Peter uses his computer to look over any clues in the video and sees were he's uploading from. "Oh my god." He states knowing it's a trick.

"A bomb that large should be giving off some kind of thermal or chemical signature." Cisco says while searching. "It's a trick." Wells and Peter say at the same time.

"The bombs not there, Barry." Peter informs him through the speaker.

"No, it has to be, I'm gonna keep looking." Barry replies to them.

"Barry, that's what he wants. All of us focusing on the bomb while he plans something bigger." Peter tries explaining but Barry isn't listening and is still looking.

"Why isn't he listening to us?" Peter asks and they look at him. "What did you happen to find, Peter?" Wells asks and Peter shows the footage on th monitors. "Look, those bars, I recognized this area from one of my fights against Scorpion, when he was trying to bust out Doc Ock from his cell. The Trickster is somewhere around Iron Heights." Peter explains when Barry's voice comes back.

-

"Guys, I found the bomb." Barry tells them and walks up to the box and finds it empty with a message tricked ya!

At Iron Heights, Trickster blows up the cell holding James Jesse and they run with a hostage.

-

At S.T.A.R. Labs they get told what just happened. "Peter's right, there was just an explosion at Iron Heights." Cisco states and they see Jesse is free and has Barry's father as a hostage.

"This day just got a whole lot worse." Peter exclaims not seeing how it couldn't get much worse, then regrets even thinking that as Jesse breaks out Otto Octavius and he escapes from the others. "Okay, that was my bad. I said it." He claims to the team now knowing he has to track down Octavius later.

-

Trickster and Jesse make it to their hideout and tied Henry to a chair so he doesn't try escaping. "You have to admit, that was one hell of a trick." Jesse states to Henry happy to see that it worked to trick the police and escape Iron Heights.

"I cannot believe we're finally in the same room, I mean, you're my hero." Trickster tells Jesse as they work on something for Flash. "You need a better role model, kid." Henry informs him from his chair. "Can't you see? He's just using you."

"Why did we bring him along?" Trickster wonders not seeing a reason for him. Jesse owed Otto for helping him escape so he understood why break him out, but not some other prisoner. "Because his son works for the CCPD." Jesse explains to the new kid. "Should we find ourselves in a jam, a cop's dad makes for a excellent bargaining chip."

"I wouldn't worry too much about what the cops might do to you. If the police aren't able to find you, trust me, the Flash or Spider-Man will." Henry promises knowing the heroes will be able to save him.

"Here's hoping." Was Jesse's reply knowing they will eventually show and is bringing something to stop them. "So what's next?" Trickster ll wonders. "In your last letter you said you had something in mind for when you got out." He reminds him.

"I've had 20 years to come up with the perfect trick. It's gonna be my masterpiece. My Mona Lisa. My Breaking Bad season five." Jesse tells them and confused to how he knows about that. "They gave me Cable in prison so I'd stop killing the guards." He explains to the other two.

"There's just one thing I've been dying to ask." Trickster states since he's been wondering this for a while. "Why did you choose me?" He questions.

"Because I knew you had the strength to fulfill my legacy. Besides, it was in your blood." Jesse tells him and puts a hand on his shoulder. "The real reason I tracked you down and groomed you to be the best you could possibly be, Axel...I am your father." He informs Trickster ll and the newly announced father and son start laughing maniacally together.

-

"We were able to finally identify the other Trickster." Joe tells the team at S.T.A.R. Labs. "Meet Axel Walker, age 25. Apparently him and James have been corresponding through snail mail over the past few years."

"I should've been there, I should've seen this coming. This had Otto written all over it." Peter exclaims regretting not checking on his sinister villains while he was at Iron Heights so he knew they weren't going anywhere.

"Peter, there's no way you could've predicted that Ock was behind this." Caitlin comforts Peter seeing that now with doc on the loose, he could become a threat later.

"I guess I should've listened to you." Barry states to Wells regretting not trusting him and leaves to think about what's occurred.

-

Later, Iris was at a campaign party for mayor Bellows and Axel/Jesse are also making an appearance to pull off their trick. "Good day, Central City's finest." Jesse states at the microphone on the stage. "How about a toast to mayor Anthony Bellows? He doesn't just yell at his staff, he bellows!" Jesse jokes causing everyone to laugh. "You see what I did there with the wordplay and the...tough crowd." He states to everyone.

"Excuse me. Who are you?" One of the security men ask Jesse. "How quickly they forget. James Jesse, your honor, aka the Trickster!" He reveals and everyone looks either confused never hearing him before or scared knowing who he is. "And I'm here torelieve you fine people, from all your money." Jesse informs them all and it's true as Axel takes out a machine gun. "Because we know if you're in this room, you've got loads of it."

"What makes you think anyone in this room would give you a cent?" One of the guests asks the Tricksters. "Because That champagne they just slurps down like so much fruit punch. I added a little something special into it. Trimethylmercury 32. Poison." Jesse informs the guests and they start getting scared.

"Without the antidote, you'll begin feeling the effects in about an hour." Jesse states and one of the guests starts foaming from the mouth. "I remember you. You got to the party about an hour early." Jesse realizes as he falls to the floor dead. "I offered you the first glass of champagne. An hour is plenty of time for all of time for all of you to call your bankers and transfer everything to the account on the bottom of your glass. Once my young friend and I are rich, you'll get the antidote. And if anyone were to call 911 instead, we switch to lead poisoning." Jesse explains to them and Iris starts calling her father.

-

At S.T.A.R. Labs they're searching for Henry and the Tricksters when Joe's phone goes off and he answers it and puts it on speaker hearing Jesse. "How many of you feel the Trimethyline 32 coursing through your veins?" Jesse asks the people on the other end of the phone.

"That's Jesse." Barry realizes now Iris is in trouble. "Cisco, Can't you ping where her call is coming from?" Peter asks his friend and he does exactly that.

"Trimethylmercury 32 is a relatively fast acting poison." Caitlin informs the team. "Is there a cure?" Barry questions hoping there is. "Yes, I know how to make it." Peter informs them and they're confused to why he knows.

"I have a villain who uses poison in a mechanical tail, of course I'm gonna know some antidotes for said poisons." Peter explains after seeing their faces.

"Cisco, you got a location?" Joe asks as Cisco gets a ping on her phone. "She's at city hall." He tells them. "Barry, don't underestimate the Trickster." Wells warns him hoping he'll listen this time.

"Let's get there." Peter states ready to take them down after writing the formula for the antidote for the team to finish for him and Barry speeds them off to city hall.

-

At city hall, they speed in while Jesse tried some strange flirtation with Iris and Barry speeds him against the wall and Peter takes care of Trickster jr. "Where's Henry Allen?!" Barry asks the deranged serial killer. "He's where you'll be soon. Heaven!" Jesse tells him and watches a device to his wrist.

"Are you familiar with the movie Speed?" Jesse asks the Flash as the device starts blinking. "See, you're the bus, and that's the bomb. A kinetic bomb, and if you go below 600 miles per hour, it'll explode. Same things happen if you were to try removing it, a present from dr. Octavius." He explains and now Peter understands why Jesse broke him out seeing some psycho like him couldn't build something so complex to stop a speedster without scientific help. "Run, run, run!" Jesse warns Barry and he does just that.

As soon as Barry leaves, Peter webs Jesse's hand to the wall so he doesn't escape while hoping Barry finds a way to remove it.

-

Peter just waits for something to happen when Barry comes speedingback in and everyone feels a pinch on their arms and Barry joins the Tricksters and Peter on the stage holding a syringe.

"It's okay. You've all been given an antidote." Barry informs the guests who are relieved they'll be okay. "That wasn't very sanitary." Jesse informs Barry and that was sadly the most logical thing he's ever said so far. "Now where's Henry Allen?" Barry asks him again seeing Jesse istrapped.

"You're going to prison either way, James." Peter informs Jesse seeing he doesn't win no matter what.

-

Henry looks up to see a rope slowly cutting with a dozen knives in a box hanging above his head when Barry speeds in and gets him out of there while Peter waits for the authorities to take away the Tricksters. Henry laughs seeing he was right about the Flash and Barry decides to let him in on his secret and removes his mask.

"You always did look good in red." Henry states and Barry laughs as they hug happy to see they're both okay.

-

Barry brings his dad to S.T.A.R. Labs and he's amazed to see everything and Peter decides his father was trustworthy enough to let him know about his identity also. "Half of this stuff didn't even exist when I was practicing." Henry states seeing everything around.

"Yeah, Well, I'd be happy to give you a crash course on all of it if you get out." Cisco says and gets mixed responses from everyone about that comment. "I'm gonna shut up now." He informs everyone and Henry laughs.

"Dr. Allen?" Caitlin calls out to him. "I'm feeling the need to give you a hug." She states and Henry does so happy to accept. "I will always accept a hug." Henry states to her and they break apart and Henry approaches the heroes.

"Spider-Man. The child who turned into a man." Henry states remembering some of the newspapers of him. "Spectacular, amazing, superior, just call me Spidey. Or Peter, whichever one works for you." Peter says to the man and he chuckles.

"I see everyone's right about you talking a lot." Henry states and Peter just laughs while leaving the father and son to talk alone. "You gotta tell me. What does it feel like when you're running down the streets like a bat out of hell?" He wonders and Barry thinks of a answer. "There's no feeling like it." Barry tells him and Henry's okay with that answer. "Actually, you're all heroes in my book, especially you, dr. Wells. Thank you for everything that you've done for my son."

"Well, your son is an extraordinary man, dr. Allen, and I will do everything in my power to ensure Barry's future." Wells promises and Barry is thinking about what Wells was saying about when he was helping him phase to get the bomb off his wrist. It was almost like he was talking from experience.

-

Joe calls in Eddie to Barry's lab to talk about the death of Mason Bridge and Iris looking into it will get her killed by Wells. "It's about Iris. She's looking into Mason bridge's disappearance. We can't let that happen." Joe explains when Barry runs in and removes his mask and Eddie is shocked to see it's Barry.

"Eddie, we need your help." Joe states as his partners still shocked to see Barry.
