I'm a bit bored in work and just having a think too last episode and reading over some posts on here and it got me thinking about current stance of things. So I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in on a couple of the current trending topics.
First of all I'll start with trying to debunk this '2 RF's' theory as it seems to be one of the most popular theories on this subreddit. Despite in this episode (EP 14) we seen a direct reveal of Wells been RF people still have the theory of there been 2 RF's for some reason. I can understand why but I don't think there is.
One thing when people discuss there been 2 RF's is episode 9 'The man in the yellow suit' where Wells is getting beat up by the RF and how could he be in 2 places at once. Let me try and explain it.
I think its Wells and not another RF.
The first theory I have starts with the next promo. Wells reveals himself to cisco to be the RF but also reveals he can travel so fast he can be in 2 places at once (see here - http://i.imgur.com/63Ts5Lg.gif). In this GIF he is going that fast he is in 2 places at once but you can still see an 'outline' of him moving. The reason why I think you can see the outline is because he is only going so fast to prove to Cisco he is the RF. I think he can travel a lot faster. In fact fast enough to be in 2 places at once and beat himself up.
It's actually been proven to be an 'old secret identity trick for the speedsters' in the Flash comic before now. I stole this strip off one of the other Reddit users (don't know his username, sorry!) but it proves that the speedsters can in fact be in 2 places at once and even still be fast enough to change clothes - see here http://imgur.com/Xh81Hh1 If that is the case then that could be one way to explain episode 9 and Wells and RF was in the same room at the same time and that there is only one RF.
Another theory I have to try and explain this scene is he time travelled back one day or however long from the future (this could be why he may be so buff in one costume and not another) and beat him self up to convince the others he's not RF. This way he could throw Joe suspicion off himself and convince Team Flash he's nothing to do with RF.
Another point that people raise when discussing the '2 RF's' theory is the stadium fight in episode 9 again and the fact that it looks like there is 3 speedsters within this certain scene. Let's have a look at some screenshots from that certain scene and decipher it.

I can see where people believe there may be a 3rd speedster. Some people believe that in this scene RF got 'pushed' by another speedster (2nd RF or Future Barry) to save Barry that's on the floor. You can see that there is some lighter lightning streaks as RF runs off but I believe this is just a part of RF's streaks. If there is another speedster there I don't believe it to be a second RF but in fact another Version of Flash as he time travels and fights with RF because he knows the current Barry isn't strong enough to take RF at the time.
Next thing I want to discuss is next episode. Can I just say OMG, I'VE GOT SUCH A NERD BONER. I was screaming at the screen I was that excited and can't wait for the next episode.
After watching the promo. It shows that Wells reveals himself to Cisco to be RF and shows him all this cool stuff like he can move so quick he can be in 2 places at once. It also shows a scene with RF in the force field machine that we seen in episode 9.
I don't know why but considering the next episode is called 'Out of Time' I think that Barry will get thrown into a Flash Paradox (finally!). I don't know how but I think someone will say something or something will happen to Barry and he will get really angry and force himself to go so fast he gets thrown into the past (which is where we see him save his mom) and he ends up saving her and this changes the future (the paradox).
Because of this I think that a whole shift of things happen and Wells is actually the one effected by the explosion and gets powers instead of Barry Allen and ends up been RF but with good intentions (like Barry, saving people blah blah) and this is why we see him show Cisco because he is starting to really discover his powers and consults a trusted friend. But Barry realises he can't save his mom because it changes the future so much that he chooses to let her die and he comes back from the past to the present again with his mom dead and everything back to as it was. This is my theory on what's going to happen next episode.
