5. How Is Barry Going To Stop Zoom?

The short answer is obviously: he’ll get faster. Beyond that, there hasn’t really been that much thought as to how exactly that will help stop Zoom. Barry has gone as far as time traveling back to talk with Eobard Thawne in addition to nearly using a life-threatening drug but after he gets faster, what is his plan?

Last year's finale informed us that stopping an evil speedster from another plane of existence requires more than simply trapping them in a cell. Zoom is no ordinary bad guy and simply punching him a few times isn’t likely to be enough.

Are they going to try and strip him of his speed, trap him in another dimension, or maybe look away and let Wells kill him? There’s potentially a lot of ways to deal with the Zoom problem, but they’ve been so occupied with simply making Barry faster, that they have yet to come together and form a legitimate plan that they're all OK with.
