[While treating Iris with her cold powers, Caitlin begins to revert to Killer Frost.]

Just a little bit longer and she's dead. How's that for changing the future?

I know who you are, Caitlin. You do not want to do this.

This is who I am. You said it, it's time for me to take responsibility for my actions. Time for me to own who I really am.

Who you are is Caitlin Snow. I know first hand the battle going on inside of you. I know what it feels like. When it happened to me, I lost. All right? I was weak. And I let it win. And I did... I did horrible things to a lot of good people, and you don't have to do that. You're not gonna do that. You're stronger than that, Caitlin, you're far stronger than I am. You're one of the strongest people I've ever known. You can win this fight. [puts a gentle hand on her arm, speaks softly] Iris needs your help now.

[Caitlin's eyes turn normal again as she regains control, and she resumes helping Iris.]

You know, sometimes it feels like the Flash is this guy my boyfriend becomes when he runs off to save other people. Like I'm the only one who doesn't get the Flash. He felt separate from you. But yesterday, when you saved me, I remembered that I have no reason to be scared. The man I love is a superhero. I love and trust you, Barry Allen, the Flash. I love all of you. And I always will.

[Jesse has mistaken H.R. for her father.]

Jesse, that's not who you think it is. This is H.R. You met him briefly before you left last time.

[bows dramatically] At your service, madame.

He's Harry's replacement.

Some would say "improvement".

Um... this is Harry's daughter.

Yeah.

He's been kidnapped.

Ee... I didn't know. I'm so... I thought...

Sorry about that.

I'm sorry, too. I'm sorry I took the smile from your face.

Fascinating. Do you often travel to other Earths?

No. Uh, well... when I have to. Look, Julian, will you just tell Singh that, I don't know, I'm under the weather or something? It's, you know, it is kinda what we do on Team Flash. We cover for each other.

What does Caitlin think of all this multiverse-hopping? Does she approve?

She's coming with me.

[shocked] You're letting her go?

It's her choice.

Allen, it's not a wise move, surely. She can barely control her cold powers as is.

We might need her for Grodd.

Grodd? [realizing] Telepathic gorilla?

Yeah.

Where are you going? Are you going to Planet of the Apes?

No, it's just a... city of them. Will you cover for me?

Are you going to Planet of the Apes?

I'm not going to Planet of the Apes, okay? Calm down. Will you cover for me?

I've got you, yeah, of course.

[Barry has just defeated Solovar in the Gorilla City arena and speaks to the gorilla assemblage.]

I won't kill him! I WON'T ! I know how you all fear humans! You think we want war with gorillakind. We don't. We're not all murderers and killers. We only want peace. Which is why I'm sparing your leader! We call it "mercy"!

What you doing up there?

Just, uh... hanging out.

What are... what are you thinking about?

Wally. He wants me to stay here with him.

Ah. Yeah, he does. Guy is no dummy. Congratulations. Oh, that's great. Love... nothing like young love.

Yeah, I just... I don't... I don't know if it's the right thing.

Why?

He's on his own journey. Besides, my dad just got captured by gorillas. And if... if he does come back, how could I ever tell him I'm leaving?

Well, 'cause you're human. That's... that's how. That's what we do. Look, my point is this. When it comes to love, you gotta go for it. You know? Everything else be damned. 'Cause if you don't, you're gonna end up being the kind of person that lives the rest of their life with regret. I mean, I know that telling your dad that, you know, you're... you're switching Earths, that's gonna be a difficult conversation to have, but one that you've got to go for if you want to be happy. But, that's just my opinion. What do I know? I'm just a handsomer guy than your dad with a song in his heart. Good luck, Jesse.

I like you, Julian. I do. And I like that you like me. But I'm also afraid of my powers. And not what they could do to me, but what they could do to anyone who gets close to me.

Caitlin, I'm not afraid

You should be. Fear me, Julian. It's not a threat. Just good advice

Okay. Fine. I'll fear you. You know what really helps me when I'm scared?

What?

Just a good filet steak. [Caitlin smiles.] Bit of Béarnaise on the side, mashed potatoes. Does the trick every time.

Really?

I promise. I think we should find a local steakhouse and be terrified together.

Sure. Together it is.

[Julian and Caitlin walk off arm in arm.]

[about the way Harry brushes his teeth] O-ooh. You go front-to-back. Toothbrush. You go front-to-back? 'Cause I'm a small-circles kinda guy. Wonder how the other Wells brushes his teeth.

The murderer?

I'm fascinated by the subtle differences between us, you know?

And the not-so-subtle ones.

Like what?

Like the fact that I'm a genius, and you're a moron. [spits his toothpaste into H.R.'s coffee mug, then leaves]

[still in good humor] Okay. See you at the party.

[trying to convince Gypsy to help Team Flash] Don't tell me you're gonna run away from this.

I never run.

Then stand and fight with us. We need you.

You need me. Are you trying to Luke Starkiller me?

[amused at the reference] What if I am? Is that what it's gonna take to get you to stay? Here's a bonus: you get to spend extra time with this face [points to his face]. Look at this face, c'mon. Who doesn't want to get to spend extra time with this guy?

No matter what I do to stop Grodd, he just keeps finding new ways to attack, new ways to destroy, and I... Iris doesn't think I should, but the only way this ends is if I kill him.

"Kill him". That might be the most idiotic thing I've ever heard you say.

Wait, what?

Iris is right. You don't want to listen, go ahead, keep being an idiot.

I don't understand.

Don't. Kill. Grodd.

Harry, you of all people should understand. You would've killed to save Jesse. You were gonna kill Zoom.

Barry, there's a thousand things I've done... that I'm not proud of. Some of them recently. Every time I do one of those things, it makes it easier to do it the next time. I look at you, out there battling the darkness with honor and hope, and I'm reminded that there's always another way. Always. Killing Grodd is not your answer. Saving one life doesn't justify taking another. Find the other way.

Gypsy, please. (Grodd)'s gonna destroy my city. And he's gonna hurt the people I love.

I told you before, that's not my problem. Look, just go back to Earth-1 before someone sees you and I have to do something that I don't want to.

You know, you told me I could do things with my powers I'd never even imagined. And you're right. 'Cause I'm not just vibing people anymore, I'm vibing what they feel. You know what I'm getting right here, right now, from you? You're more than this. You're like me. You want to do something good. Look, we need something to stop Grodd, and I'm gonna need your help getting it. Please, be the hero I know you wanna be.

What is all this?

I've been really busy recently with trying to avoid the future, and I forgot that there's always another way.

What is that?

Making the future. [opens a box containing an antique engagement ring] Our future. [gets down on one knee] My great-grandfather gave this to my great-grandmother after World War Two. He wanted to propose before he was shipped out, but he didn't have the money. And he bought this three years later when he was stationed in London. Fought his way across France, all the way to Berlin, with this ring around his neck with his dog-tags. And when he got back, she was waiting for him in the dock of the Brooklyn Navy yards. He proposed on the spot. After my mom passed away, Joe held on to this for me. Until tonight.

Barry...

Iris West... will you marry me?

Is the reason you don't want to do this (be mind-linked again with Savitar) because... you don't want me to see it?

I just think... hearing his voice come out of me... it just makes it impossible for you to see me as normal-

Hey. [puts her hand on top of Julian's] I've had somebody else's voice coming out of my mouth, and you were still able to see the real me. How about trusting that I can do the same thing?

[Julian looks at Caitlin, then leans forward and kisses her.]

Sorry. I just wanted to do that, in case you changed your mind later.

[smiling] Quite all right.

[speaking through Julian] Bow before my greatness. Be in awe as you are in the presence of the almighty.

Enough with the religious nonsense. You're just a man. Like me.

I'm nothing like you, Barry. You're cruel. You're selfish. From my perspective, you're the Big Bad.

[scoffs] Stupid.

Still here, pretender? Still trying to find your "place"?

I've found my place. It's standing here with these people, against you.

You know, the sad thing is that you live. You survive my wrath. The coward. [to Barry] Irony.

I just want you to listen, okay? I need you to let me say what I need to say.

Okay.

I'm not angry at you. I understand that you... you want to keep me safe, and us getting engaged could change the future. I get all of that. Barry, when you proposed to me, I said "Yes" because I love you more than anything. And I want to be your wife. But I thought that you were asking me purely out of love, not fear. And Barry, whether you realize it or not, now there's always gonna be a part of us that's tainted

Iris, I'm trying to save your life.

I know, and that's the problem. I want to be your wife, Barry. I don't want to be someone that you're trying to save for the rest of eternity.
