In regards to the second speedster who seems to be trying to save Nora, I think we're going to find out it is Barry Allen himself who traveled back in time to save his mother. Well, until The Flash breaks out a crazy plot twist that adds a further wrinkle to the story. Now that we know Harrison Wells is the Reverse-Flash, it's safe to assume he killed Barry's mother. The important thing to know is that it involved two speedsters: one in yellow we now know as Reverse-Flash and the other in red. Fans of The Flash who never read the comics will come to know that Nora's death is the key to everything, but what do we know about it so far on The CW series ? The death of The Flash's mother, Nora Allen, is so integral not only to Barry's emotional development, but to the very plot of the comics, that taking it out would alter the entire story arc.

Unfortunately, The Flash is no exception, besides one specific deceased character. This becomes even more troubling when the female characters around them have little to no development. I am usually very annoyed when leading male characters have a dead wife, girlfriend, or mother in their backstory to give them angst.
