Synopsis:
After a long search Tina, Jerry, and Mason have located the Flash. However, Wally is disoriented, covered in spines, and being eaten alive by his own aura. They care for him in his delirious state and call Chunk to help. Chunk is able to snap Wally's mind back into place, but when he sees what he has become Wally panics.

Meanwhile the son of sheriff Castillo and two other boys have gone missing. The town council has agreed to hire Captain Cold and Golden Glider to hunt the porcupine man whom they believe is responsible for the disappearance of the boys. When Wally encounters the group in his panic state, they believe he is the porcupine man.
