Synopsis

After a bomb explodes in downtown Central City, a cabal of Army soldiers, led by General Eiling, arrives at CCPD and takes over the case, much to Joe's surprise. Suspicious, Joe tells Barry that he and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs should look into the Army's involvement. Wells informs the team that Eiling was experimenting on his men to turn them into super soldiers. Cisco confirms one of Eiling's soldiers, Bette Sans Souci, was at the bomb site. The Flash tracks her down and realizes that she's not setting off the bombs, she is a meta-human who can blow things up just by touching them. Meanwhile, when Joe learns Iris is writing about "The Streak", he tells Barry to make her stop. Barry realizes Iris won't listen to him, so he decides to have The Flash pay her a visit.
