I still can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. I should have seen a red flag waving desperately in my face when I realized I knew nothing about my "Brother from another Universe" (wish I never said that) besides his fascination with speed (as in, velocity!), science, and my homegirl Caitlin. He let us all believe that he was on our side and wanted to join the fight against Zoom... He betrayed us. He betrayed me. This one really stings. All of a sudden, I'm Han Solo and my old friend Lando Calrissian has led me right to Darth Vader while charming his way into Leia's heart...

Man, I gotta keep it together – Caitlin and Barry are the people who I should be worried about. Caitlin's 180 emotional flip from mourning Jay's loss to realizing he's a homicidal speed-obsessed liar might make her more numb, more cold... more like a KILLER. (She's going to turn into Killer Frost, get it? I'm not being subtle here, people.) And Barry, he was already betrayed by a man he trusted – Harrison Wells. Turns out having super-speed also attracts speed-stealing lunatics to your side. Barry is never going to trust another person again!

Okay, think Cisco. How can you help? Mom also says, when your friends are hurting – you need to hurt with them. You can't fix their pain, you can't run away from it – you just have to share it. And what says, "I feel your pain" more than a giant chocolate chip cookie. If any situation calls for some emotional eating, this is definitely it! S.T.A.R. Labs has all the equipment necessary to bake one cutting-edge, ginormous, chewy, Betty-Crocker-is-going-to-be-jealous, double the chocolate chips cookie to end all cookies. Now, I am a man on a mission. Baking is so much better than wallowing. Cream the sugar and butter, a healthy pour of vanilla, baking soda, salt, flour, eggs, chocolate chips and voila! – I'm done. All that's left is to wait for this behemoth to bake until golden brown. I have just enough time to nip out and grab some milk...

Et tu, Harry? I got back from my milk run and who did I find face-deep in my cookie creation – Harrison Wells from Earth 2. He looked up, face and hands covered with cookie dough, like a guilty schoolboy. He didn't even have the decency to wait for it to bake! Before he could move – SNAP! I took a photo of the scene of the crime. Now my only decision – do I use this photo to blackmail Harry or offer it to Barry and Caitlin for a good laugh? Either way, I've learned some valuable lessons. 1) JAY IS ZOOM! (Still not used to that.) 2) Always turn wallowing and self-pity into action. 3) Most importantly, never leave a baking cookie unguarded!
