Even with as sketchy as Wells is, they are giving us more material to care for him and his relationship with the crew. The team selfie was a simple but really important moment, especially considering Wells now has a picture of the team he will likely betray in the future. I really enjoyed the team dynamic this week though. Didn't we all know that if he gets caught 20 minutes into the episode, he's probably not actually done for the night? I have grown tired of the villains planning to get caught every time. Back to Piper, I thought his intentions were different than past Flash villains, but there a few too many stupid and predictable moments. So even with a few botches, the CW continues to write strong female leads. I have been of Panabaker's portrayal and this week she once again stood out.

It seems as though while Iris falls further down my list of interesting characters, Caitlin jumps higher. Iris got a new job this week, but I'm sorry CW, her scenes are still uninteresting. Last week the 'gun' fight looked cheesy and CGI heavy but I loved the subtle speed effects this week. Speaking of powers, I thought all the effects this week looked great. I think Arrow and Flash are culprits of giving a little bit too much away week to week on their previews. I'm glad they didn't spoil the scene with Wells using his powers for the first time on a promo for the episode.

His first attack came at Wells' home, which surprisingly is the first time we have seen it. Piper was out for revenge on Wells for outing him at STAR labs before the explosion happened. I enjoyed Piper for a good part of the episode, even though this Particle Accelerator villain of the week is starting to get tiresome. Everything seemed fine with Team Flash until Pied Piper came along. The mid-season premier was average but the show is still exciting.
