9. Why Was Jesse Hurt More Than Harry?

When Barry is running round to use sound as a way of knocking the Earth-2 metahumans unconscious, Harry and Jesse Wells also suffer from it. However, while Wells is mostly ok in his earmuffs, Jesse is in agony, so why did she take it worse than her father?

This one could possibly be attributed to Harry having a higher pain threshold than his daughter, or her being extra sensitive as she's less-attuned to Earth-1, or still recovering from her coma. But maybe there's another reason - something linked to the particle accelerator explosion, and her potential future as a speedster.

I'm assuming that's still very much the route they'll be going down at some point, either in the season finale or in Season 3, so is this a further sign of that transformation taking place within her?
