** We get more backstory as to why Thawne hates Barry so much. As was previously established in "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S2E11TheReverseFlashReturns The Reverse-Flash Returns]]," Thawne originally wanted to be a hero like the Flash, and that time traveling revealed his destiny as Barry's greatest villain. However, the specific event that made Thawne snap was when he was about to save a group of people and reveal himself to the world, only for a time traveling Barry to arrive and save the crowd that Thawne wanted to save.
** It's also revealed that Despero himself was the tyrant in his story, not the rebel hero, which is more in line with his comic self.
