5. What About Kid Flash And Jesse Quick?

With Wally West and Jesse Wells introduced this year, the expectation was that they would both become speedsters like in the comics, aka Kid Flash and Jesse Quick.

When the show had them caught in the particle accelerator explosion, it seemed a near-certainty that this was going to happen before the season was out, especially in the case of Jesse as she ended up in a coma.

However, Season 2 has ended, and neither of them have displayed any powers. There's nothing wrong with playing the long-game here (especially as it's allowed their characters to develop a bit more), or subverting expectations, but it was still a surprise. Is the show going to abandon the idea of them being speedsters, or can we expect it to happen in Season 3?
