To be fair, people have been speculating about Flash being mind controlled from the moment he barged in on the assault mission
I still don't buy this theory.
Just because Flash is a nice guy, doesn't mean that he can't hate or do some bad things sometimes.
Young Justice attempted to portray realism in its story, and while I think it failed a lot of ways in that department it did have some pretty accurate moments.
Superman and his relationship with Kon being one such moment.
People may have thought that the borderline saintly Superman would adopt Kon right away, or just try to help him, but instead he avoided him.
This isn't saintly behavior, but it is highly realistic.
Most people, even extremely nice and good ones like Supes, would be extremely uncomfortable and try to avoid someone like Kon, who is basically in some sense a child by rape, made to either kill him or replace him and was made by a man who has dedicated his life to destroying Supes and everything he stands for.
His treatment of Kon wasn't right, but it was very, very understandable.
What is happening to Flash is most likely just a bout of realism.
After seeing what the Sheeda do to their victims, a lot of people, even nice ones like Barry, would hate them to the point they would want them dead, and they would be extremely pissed if it looked like they could be set free and would want to kill them on the spot without thinking of the bigger picture.
It's shocking, but very realistic.
