Why didn't he kill Eddie? Because if he did, he would've killed his own ancestor and that would fuck things up but good.
I heart this show.

Only problem with that theory is it feels to me like Wells, deep down, does have some genuine concern for Barry. And that it's not just about self-preservation for him, or just a big, elaborate act he's putting on.
That might be an element of it, but I have a feeling his true motivations are a bit more complex than that.
Honestly, I'm more puzzled by how Cisco can be wearing a Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock T-shirt, given that the game was introduced in The Big Bang Theory and that TBBT often references The Flash as a comic book. I mean, sure, the original Barry Allen grew up reading comics about the Jay Garrick Flash and got his name from them, but that can't work in the show's universe.
Oh, wait a minute, I looked it up, and it turns out that TBBT didn't introduce the game, just popularized it. It was invented independently several years earlier. So this doesn't create a paradox that could collapse two fictional universes. That's a relief.

Maybe it's also a bit of I need someone great to defeat to prove how great I am. And I'M the one that kills the Flash, no one else. That sort of Joker/Batman thing from the Dark Knight.
New Theory.
In the 'Original" timeline, Wells is the Flash who saved 2024 from the Crisis, but you can only save the world on that day through a final sacrifice. A Flash has to die or at least, get lost in time.
Harry Wells invented Barry to replace himself who would now be the person who sacrifices himself to save the Universe.
Hmmm.
What if this is the Wells from now, and not a time traveller, because ten years ago contemporary Wells met a dying mess future version of himself, who gave his younger self access to a time machine and the tools to save himself and the world from the Crisis by creating a patsy.
Which of course is a little like Hal Jordan and Abin Sur.
If Hal Jordan was a jerk.
Mmmm?
So it's exactly like when Hal Jordan met Abin Sur.

It's more likely that the red lightning was the adult Barry and in saving his younger self meant that he failed to save his mother.
FIRESTORM!!!
This was the best EP of the season for me. I am struggling with how Eddie doesn't know Barry is Flash after the talk with Joe. Maybe he does? If he doesn't get it soon. Ugh.

Yeah you'd think Eddie would be able to put things together by now, considering that Barry was struck by lightning, somehow got far ahead of a fleeing suspect that one time, has the same rail thin body type as the Flash, and given that Joe has been obviously covering for him for awhile now.
Not to mention the fact they both clearly have an interest in Iris.

& This is an EP where you wonder who you should feel bad for the most? Barry or Caitlin, I felt bad for Caitlin. Barry knows this guy is out there and there is a possibility of another face off. Even if everyone at Star Labs will work towards bringing Ronnie home, he doesn't want that.
This show went up quite a few notches this week.
I'm not sure how he can wear anything since he is on fire a lot of the time.
His powers won't burn him because that's the sort of shit that only happens in Haven (And the Venture Bros?), but can Firestorm be burnt by other flames he makes with his flames, like when he sets his clothing on fire?
Of course if it's just a "nuclear reaction" that looks like fire and not fire at all, he Ronnie should be fine?
Body paint?
Paint is explosive or an accelerant most of the time?
The Flash; I'm lightening on my feet! Taylor Swift - Shake It Off! 
ETA: For Barry he "Vibrates It Off".

I'm thinking that what he is wearing at the moment, since it's still (ewwwwwwwww) the same clothes he (and Martin) was (were) wearing (They're sharing underwear!!!) a year ago (unless "they" spend time in a non corporeal state together? So he isn't actually the guy that hasn't changed his underwear/had a shower in a year. Maybe at first Ronnie only appears for a few hours every couple weeks before his matrix finally finished stabilizing?) is immune to the Firestorm powerset?
I just rewatched the episode, damn is this show good. The talk Barry's dad gave to him was amazing. The Joe talking about how Barry really changed him. So good.
^ Given these type of shows on The CW, they have learned the mistakes of Smallville & Arrow.
