The implication was that it was Zoom who was organizing/protecting the villains of Earth 2. Without him, they are much more easy to handle.
Spoilers The Flash - Season 3

I have a theory that popped up earlier. I'm thinking Alchemy may be a Meta that somehow is able to experience all version of timelines. It may be something like Voyager having those special shields that screwed up Annorax's attempts to change the timeline in Kremin's favor. That would mean Alchemy already existed before Flashpoint...
Watching Cavanagh in Flash makes me wish I watched Ed when it was on.
Wally had superspeed in the Flashpoint timeline, and Alchemy is giving people back the powers they had in that timeline. Therefore, Wally will be a speedster.
He'll start having those dreams that Magenta had - if he hasn't been having them already, which would help explain the intensity of his frustration right now.

When Magenta mentioned the dreams, he's the one who interjected with "Dreams?", I took that as a hint he's already having them.
Except Alchemy would know Wally was the good guy.... Would Alchemy lure Wally to the dark side?
He's not assuming anything. He clearly already had the dreams and Magenta's story is proof enough for him that they were the real thing.
Maybe Alchemy doesn't care. He doesn't seem entirely aimed at the Flash, so much as at general chaos. His only statement of motive so far is that he's 'preparing this world' for something. No particular reason to assume Wally wouldn't fit into that just as well as any other flashpoint meta.
Speaking generally, I have to agree with the general consensus. This was much, much better than the last two. Harry and Jessie were fantastic to have around. The new guy continues to be rather annoying, but at least he's annoying in an interesting way. Magenta was incredible, and pretty much all the character stuff was great. I loved watching Harry actually learn a real lesson and move forward. Here's hoping that little trait rubs off on Barry, too. Wally was definitely reckless, but that's entirely in his character (Street racing anyone?).
My only (minor) disappointment here was Jessie's suit. I have no idea what she wears in the comics, but I'd been hoping to see something a little more in keeping with the retro style of Earth-2 (Maybe some white or silver instead of red?). But I guess having matching heroes is better for the show's visuals.
I haven't seen any of the Vixen webisodes. Is that an animated series? I do recall Weather Wizard summoning two twisters when he teamed up with the Trickster, but not at the same level you described.
Yes, from the same WB Animation group that does their animated DVD movies and TV shows, but in continuity with the Arrowverse. It's on the CW Seed website. And the episodes are pretty short -- the whole 6-episode first season adds up to maybe 40 minutes or less.
Alchemy's motives are not really established. He's obviously not a nice man(?) but what he's doing so far is restoring metahuman powers to folks who had them in the Flashpoint timeline. Wally had powers in that timeline.

I don't think Cisco knows much about Earth-2 fashion --- let see if later episodes have Jesse give Cisco some ideas for the uniform.
Like @Poor Man's Ghostbuster I was under the impression that Jessie's suit is just the one that Eliza Harmon/Trajectory used (properly cleaned, I hope).
Yes, it is, with a Flash logo added by Cisco.
Just watched yesterday's episode, and it was great. A good return to form for the show. Magenta was done very well, and I liked how she wasn't really a villain (and I think they handled that well). I really enjoyed seeing Wells again, and the stuff with Jesse was pretty good. I didn't find Barry and Iris's dates too interesting, but they weren't done badly or anything. Wally was being a doofus, but I'm interesting to see what happens with him and if he'll be getting powers from Alchemy. Tom Fenton's charcter was the only bad part of the show, and he's more annoying then anything. I hope they give him something to do besides constantly complain about and mistrust Barry. Overall I really enjoyed this episode, I'm excited to see what comes next and it looks like the show has fully recovered from a very weak start.
He did seem to be laying it on a bit thick but maybe just needs to settle into the character a bit and drop the Malfoy a level or two.
Yeah, he's far from an irredeemable character or anything, but he seems a bit one note right now (not the actor's fault) and hopefully he'll grow as a character or get something more interesting to do.
Here's a photo gallery of Jesse Quick in costume:

Well, I hope they have a scene like this:
Cisco: Weather Wizard is turning into the Harry Potter of Super Villains
Malfoy: I am so sick of Harry Potter allusions
Cisco: Yeah, you look like you would be.
Well his entire point of being right now is to be the Harry Potter-style red herring. With the Philosopher Stone being on the show (that's what Alchemy is using, as we saw in the previous episode), the actor's clear reference to the franchise, and his overly blatant antagonism to the hero is right up there with how Snape was portrayed, particularly in the first movie/book.
It is being overdone, but I think it's actually intentional. At least on the writer's end. They're trying way too hard to convince everyone he's Alchemy.
