I don't think we actually saw doppelganger's hand go vibrate-y - just threatening it with the hand position. And they showed in the previouslies (or flashbacks?) when Iris touched Barry's hand when he was comatose there was the same little electric-y reaction.

I think you're right, but that whole switching out thing confused me. For one, fake!Wells knew enough about Barry's mom's murder and the time-travel aspect to give Cisco a perfectly evasive answer. I guess you could say real!Wells was on an earpiece with him feeding him lines in real time, but I don't remember them showing that.
The other thing that bugged me was that apparently Cisco's barrier was only proof against speedsters, but ordinary people could just walk through them. Which is a weird design-limitation. I mean with technology like that they could have just set up a fake barrier anywhere to prove that Wells was a Speedster. First time I watched the scene, I actually thought Wells had phased through the barrier, because he was a better at phasing through stuff then Barry.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah, I had a similar issue. It's going to keep a speedster out, but not a speeding bullet?

I wondered if Barry creating a vacuum to extinguish the fire wouldn't also collapse people's lungs. I know humans can survive without air, but a vacuum isn't *just* the absence of air.
...right?

I also wonder if any of them will look back on the fact that Wells insistence on caging the metas at Star Labs basically gave him an army of evil to draft recruits from.
Also, is the Pied Piper still in the hole? Because he might be willing to help against Wells.

Steph, I think that there would probably some injury, but not so much because of the short duration, and also still a better alternative than breathing superheated gases and smoke.

Brief vacuum exposure doesn't seem to have any lasting negative consequences for people, although it will knock you unconscious PDQ.

Pied Piper broke out because he convinced Cisco that he had useful information, but he would only share it if Cisco took him...somewhere. I can't remember. And then he got away. I think.
