I rewatched the scene finally, and I stand corrected. But there's no way that fake Wells lying on the ground was a "live" speed mirage. I'm guessing there was some kind of pre-recorded hologram projection after Joe broke the containment field.

Also, I think it's likely that the whole "RF beating up Wells" thing was entirely a recording. I now believe that Thawne left his chair to get his RF suit and then self-inflict wounds on his face. Once Joe broke the containment field, there must have been some device projecting a hologram/after-imageof "beaten & bloodied Wells" that kicked in, while the ACTUAL RF then came in and took the the tachyons.

And then at the beginning, when RF enters and gets "trapped" and they're watching it on the monitors, Thawne had simply pre-recorded himself entering that "trap".

This was an extremely elaborate, well-choreographed plan Thawne had orchestrated.
