The flash season 4 has improved drastically lately, I considered switching off after "I'm silly putty" and what to me was the abysmally bad Crisis Earth thing (I know i'm the minority here).
Spoilers The Flash - Season 4

A thought on the speedster-in-training that might also explain coffee girl's "evil glare" - what if they're gender-flipping Impulse? Would fit the "speedster who doesn't understand their powers yet" angle, and evil coffee girl could be Inertia/Kid Zoom, the evil clone of Impulse.
Since Impulse has Allen AND Thawne ancestry, would explain why Jay might keep things from Barry...

No need if she's supposed to be XS, as XS was Impulse's cousin.
I wonder what the purpose was of coffee girl meeting Harry and Caitlyn. Did she plant a bug on them or infect them with something?
I wouldn't say Tiny Mystery Woman's look at the end was "evil," just calculating. She's satisified that that stage in her plan went well. But we don't know whether that plan is good or bad. For all we know, she could be a historian from the future studying Team Flash for her thesis, like Kristin Wells/Superwoman in the '70s Superman comics.
Whatever side she's on, they made it obvious that her awkwardly gabby shtick is an act and that she has some sort of ulterior purpose.
You are probably right. It's just that we tend to see villains do something very similar with the calculating look into the camera. Also, I rewatched the scene and she does not really look satisfied with yourself. She stops smiling immediately and her face turns very serious when she says "it did".
^Well, sure, they're obviously trying to make us wonder if she's evil. That doesn't mean she will be, though. It just means they're creating suspense. It's a commonplace story device to present something ominously to build tension and then have it turn out to be benign.
I, for one, certainly hope that she is not evil.
I think it was last week or the week before I said I really haven’t been excited for the series since the episode we got Devoe’s backstory. Well this weeks episode was the best episode in 2018. It also tells me why we didn’t get many flash effects since the come back. I get the feeling 3 quarters of the budget was used on this episode.
The speed force scene was incredible. Also nice to see Jesse back.

The actress's ethnic background in this case doesn't necessarily mean anything. You may be right. I realize I'm swimming against the popular tide, but I still think the focus on Joe and Cecile's daughter and her telepathic power is pointing towards her being the Mystery Girl.
Not by itself, not definitively, but it's suggestive. As I said, of the two roles, a descendant of Barry and Iris would be a better fit for her. I think if they'd wanted to cast Joe & Cecile's child, they would've gone for a black actress rather than a biracial one.
Besides, if she is the grown-up version of a child who's not born yet, then she's obviously a time traveler, and what has time travel got to do with Joe and Cecile? Whereas time travel has plenty to do with Iris West's story in the comics, and with Barry's in the show.
Loved the purple effects for Iris. Glad she got a costume too.
What would have been a good speedster name for her?

West Wind. (Maybe a bit of an identity giveaway, but if Jesse can be Jesse Quick...)
That works.
Speaking of super-names, "Melting Point" is one of Cisco's worst. Also, it was a bit odd that the Flash concealed his identity from Kim but Cisco, Caitlin, and Ralph didn't.
And what are the odds that Iris's speed lightning happened to be iris-colored?
And how was Harry able to recreate the Thinking Cap based solely on security video, rather than any kind of circuitry diagrams?
EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention my suspicion:

DeVoe may have already taken over Matthew/Melting Point and is using his body to infiltrate the team. Maybe last week he tipped off Eden Corps to the nuclear bomb as a diversion for Team Flash while he went after Matthew. (Probably without expecting the bomb to actually go off.) Okay, he already did that with Brainstorm/Dominic, but as usual Team Flash has lousy security and isn't considering the possibility with this guy, so maybe he'd be willing to try it again. And it would explain why we haven't seen the DeVoes for a couple of weeks.

Ok, this might sound like a silly question, but if the Powers are transfered from one to another, why would Iris have the purple streak instead of the orange?
A TV Guide piece on the episode has some quotes from Todd Helbing, and it sure sounds like there will be answers coming about this. They also make the connection to the one other speedster we've seen with purple lightning.
How about "Violet Velocity"? It sounds similar to Jesse Quick or Max Mercury from the comics.
