The Flash season 1 episode 18, titled "Twin Streaks" begins with a bank robbery in Central City, where two suspects, Riley and Daryl, are using their powers to rob the bank. The Flash arrives on the scene and attempts to stop them, but to his surprise, the two suspects look exactly like him. It turns out that they are metahumans with the same powers as him, and they are calling themselves The Streak.
As Barry tries to get to the bottom of who The Streaks are and where they got their powers from, he comes across a woman named Bette Sans Souci. She is another metahuman who has the power to create and control explosions and was experimented on by the same organization that created The Streaks. Bette provides Barry with information about how the organization created the metahumans, including herself, and how they used a serum to trigger the powers.
Barry begins to work with Bette, and together they devise a plan to take down The Streaks. However, things don't go as planned, and they end up using their powers against each other. During the chaos, Caitlin discovers that The Streaks' powers are caused by a serum that enhances their speed, and they are dying because of it. Barry realizes that he needs to put aside his differences with The Streaks to help them before it's too late.
In the end, The Flash and The Streaks team up to take down the organization responsible for their powers. However, during the battle, one of The Streaks dies, leaving the remaining one, who reveals his true identity to Barry. The episode ends on a somber note, with Barry realizing the true cost of being a metahuman.
Overall, "Twin Streaks" is an action-packed episode that explores the consequences of having superhuman powers and the price that comes with them. It also introduces new elements to the show, including the idea that there are others with powers like Barry's, and the possibility of working with them.
