Back at S.T.A.R Labs, Cisco Says that Team Flash requires a break and suggests the Club, while Wells does not like the idea of Jesse going, he eventually agrees, although he has her wear his watch as a means to track her. Jesse, Cisco, Caitlin and Barry meet Iris and Wally at the club. Jesse goes to the bathroom and attempts to turn off the clock. She tampers it and activates Wells' log and is disturbed. While Cisco and Caitlin dance, Barry and Iris reminisce on the fact that they are married on Earth-2 and in the future. Moments later an unknown Speedster with Flashes lightning robs everyone in the club. Barry chases after her but she escapes. At Central City Picture News, Scott Evens tells everyone that The Flash is now a criminal, while Iris defends him.
At S.T.A.R Labs Jesse goes to her father and plays the log. Wells confirms all the words there are true and Jesse Storms out. Team Flash try to understand how the Female Speedster got her powers, Caitlin and Wells tell Barry and the rest of the team about Velocity 9. Barry grows mad at the team for not telling him about a formula that could make him faster, while Caitlin tells Barry that the formula could end up killing him. The team get word on ‘Bad Flash’ and Barry chases after her, in a fight he quickly loses. Caitlin remembers that when designing Velocity 9, she got help from a fellow scientist, Eliza Harmon. Joe and Caitlin investigate the lab though Eliza denies any of the formula in the lab. Later Eliza starts hearing the voice of Trajectory in her head and takes her final Velocity 9 formula. At S.T.A.R Labs Barry steals the final velocity 9 formula, thinking of taking it, though Wells talks him out of it.
Soon Trajectory infiltrates S.T.A.R Labs, puts Flash in the pipeline, knocks Joe out than takes his gun and holds Wells at gunpoint and requesting more Velocity 9. After holding Jesse at gunpoint, Wells makes more of the Velocity 9 and after making sure it's real, Trajectory leaves. She injects Jesse with V-9 and Wells gives her a blood transfusion to save her. Jesse has had enough of her father's protectiveness, refusing to be protected if other people gets hurt in the process. After a while, the team find out she is attempting to make a bridge collapse, which it does after Flash gets all the civilians off.

She takes another formula, speeds away and her lightning turns blue, much like Zoom's, she runs away and disintegrates .
Back at S.T.A.R Labs, Wells discovers his watch and that Jesse had left a message, saying she has left on her own to explore Earth-1. She is seen boarding a bus to Opal City. The team discusses about how Trajectory's lightning turned blue and how her body disintegrated shortly afterward as she was running.
