As Oliver was about to ask Barry if he had learned anything after watching the sparring session, Felicity, who had also been silently spectating, suddenly remembered her commitment at S.T.A.R. Labs. Before Oliver could say a word, she quickly said, "Barry, are you heading to S.T.A.R. Labs? If you are, can you take me with you? I promised Caitlin and Cisco I'd be there on time, but I got so caught up watching Swayam and Oliver spar that I lost track of time."
Barry, lost in thought as he tried to process the amazing sparring session he had just witnessed, snapped back to the present when he heard Felicity's voice. He then remembered that he was supposed to be at CCPD to work on a robbery case. Apologizing, he said, "Sorry, Felicity. I was supposed to be at CCPD hours ago, and I haven't even informed them that I'd be late. I don't think I can take you." He then glanced over at Swayam and said, "But you could go with Sam since he's heading there anyway."
All three of them—Barry, Felicity, and Oliver—turned to Swayam for his response. Since Swayam was heading to S.T.A.R. Labs anyway, he agreed to bring Felicity along. With that settled, Barry hurriedly left, and Swayam and Felicity prepared to head out.
Since it was late morning and Swayam was in his superhero suit, he couldn't exactly take Felicity to S.T.A.R. Labs in a taxi. With no other options, he decided to carry her on his back, either running at super speed or leaping over buildings and neighborhoods.
By the time they arrived at S.T.A.R. Labs, Felicity was dizzy and nauseous from the ride, feeling as though the world was spinning.
As Felicity tried to steady herself, Caitlin approached, having watched on the surveillance cameras as Swayam gave Felicity a piggyback ride to the lab. Caitlin felt a pang of jealousy and anger but, before those emotions could take over, Swayam, subconsciously used his Pathokinesis ability which calmed her down. Since he hadn't mastered the ability yet, he felt all the emotions of everyone around him. His subconscious use of Pathokinesis proved to be useful, and because of which Caitlin's jealousy subsided.
Once Caitlin was calm and Felicity had recovered from her dizziness, she saw Caitlin and Swayam embracing and whispering sweetly to each other, which made her envious. What she didn't realize was that it was because of Swayam's subconscious use of Pathokinesis that Caitlin had become calm, and now flirting with Swayam.

By nightfall, everyone was busy trying to decipher what material the boomerang was made of and how it functioned. Just then, Swayam received a call from Joe, who informed him that something was wrong with Barry. Joe explained that Barry had angrily shouted at their boss, Captain Singh, for no apparent reason, and when Joe tried to reason with him, Barry's eyes turned red—just like the SWAT team members affected by Roy Bivolo's powers. He added that Barry had left the CCPD in a fit of rage.
After the call ended, Swayam immediately informed the others of Barry's situation. They all quickly deduced that Barry's condition must be related to Bivolo's powers, somehow manipulating Barry's emotions.
Caitlin, who had been thinking about Bivolo's abilities, suggested her theory: "Have you heard of color psychology?"
Felicity, always quick with science, replied, "The theory that changes in color spectrum can affect emotions?"
Caitlin smiled at Felicity's understanding and continued, "Exactly. I was thinking, if Bivolo uses color to induce emotional psychosis, maybe we can use light and color to reverse the effects."
At that moment, Harrison Wells entered the room, having been informed of Barry's condition. As he approached, he added his own insight, "I believe that Barry was affected when he captured Bivolo, but his metahuman physiology delayed the effects. Now that his emotions—particularly his anger—have been enhanced, the longer they remain suppressed..."
Before he could finish, Felicity interjected, completing his thought: "The bigger the explosion."
Joe, who had become too anxious to stay at CCPD and had come to S.T.A.R. Labs himself, overheard their conversation. He asked a crucial question: "Given what Barry can do, how do we even stop him?"
Cisco, remembering how he had been reprimanded for creating the Cold Gun as a precaution against Barry, sarcastically remarked, "A Cold Gun would come in real handy right about now."
Joe, though conflicted, disapproved of the suggestion. "Hey," he admonished, still uncomfortable with the idea of harming Barry, despite the logic behind it.
Harrison Wells ignored Cisco's comment and addressed Joe's question directly: "None of us can stop the Flash—except maybe Shadow and the Arrow. Felicity, you'd better call Oliver Queen. We might need his help."
