I have given some thought to the possibility that we never saw Cisco play the "full" hologram recording inside the containment field. The initial RF we saw get "trapped" was a recording. So I'm guessing that Thawne/Wells pre-recorded himself getting "beaten", so that when RF supposedly takes Wells into the trap, then it's actually the real RF in there and "Wells" is the pre-recorded hologram.

But still, the Thawne/Wells hologram should have disappeared once Joe broke the containment field. So unless he had some other holographic recording device which was convincing enough to say to Eddie & Joe "I'm fine, I can get in my wheelchair on my own, go see if Barry's okay"...with Eddie & Joe complying, I just don't see how he could have pulled this off.

Or...maybe the fight between RF & Barry took place in less time than implied, allowing RF to run back into the building and continue his Wells impersonation before the paralyzing shock of what just happened wore off of Eddie & Joe?

But hey, whatever man! I might just be obsessing over details that seem minor, but leave me with so many questions! These instances of the writers and directors overlooking details like this are common. And obviously a "time remnant" couldn't have been possible for S1 Thawne since he couldn't time travel.
