After losing the trust of his team, Wells tries to get them back by holding a press conference. In front of the cameras, Wells admits he was wrong about his invention. This draws the attention of the Pied Piper, who has been studying the Flash's molecular structure.  

At the highway, the Pied Piper uses his sonic blasts to harm innocent civilians, throwing cars over the dam. The Flash manages to save the passengers, but ends up  in Piper's trap. Wells sends a soundwave that destroys Piper's sonic blasters and buns his hands.
