I promise I'll never be late again.
IrisMy best friend is always saying that and he is always late.
You're worth being on time for.
Well, hello. You know, I've been in prison for 20 years.
IrisThen you'll know the routine when you get sent back.
IrisYeah, but he should go. Someone should try to get through to him.
Maybe his best friend?
Joe, believe me. I have tried!
I meant her.
IrisIf you keep getting no for an answer, stop asking questions.
I say that! You're quoting "me" to me?
IrisWhat can I say? You're a very smart man.
Oh snap! Meta-human attack! Nope. Nope, my bad. That is just an alert. For me.
IrisFor what?
Oh. It's just a reminder. I have a date in an hour. So.
IrisI know I was so mad at you and my dad for not telling me that you were The Flash, but when I found out about this, I didn't know what to do.
What? What's going on?
IrisWhen Francine came back, my dad told me not to trust her, and he was right. I didn't know how much. When my mother left us, she was pregnant. She had a son. Joe's son, my brother.
What's his name?
IrisWally. Wally West.
I don't suppose my home owner's insurance covers a Sharknado attack.
I don't understand you people. Jaws busts through here like the Kool-Aid Man, The Flash shows up, and y'all act like it's no big deal.
IrisYeah, we've had a lot of weird things happen in Central City over the past two years.
Weirder than a talking shark wearing pants?
Without Caitlin here, I can't really analyze the cells on a molecular level to see what we're dealing with here.
You know, I might actually be able to help.
How?
Bio-chem was one of my majors in college.
One of your majors? How many did you have?
Five. [off everyone's reaction] What, is that not common here?
IrisGirl, no, that is not common anywhere.
Zoom's still out there. We need to come up with a plan.
The man can crack open breaches to Earth-2. I mean, if he can do that, what else can he do that we don't know about?
Right after he killed his time remnant, he told me I was "almost ready."
IrisAlmost ready for what?
I don't know.
Yep. Classic psychopath. Why can't they ever just say what they want to do? We also have to figure out why I keep vibing Earth-2 being ripped to shreds.
Seriously.
It's like I'm watching Transformers in 4-D, but, like, ten times more realistic and with much better acting.
[to Wally and Iris] Don't worry. I'm gonna save your Dad.
No. You're gonna save our Dad.
Get back to S.T.A.R. Labs. It's safer.
We're not going anywhere. You got eyes and ears right here.
Either he goes, or we all die together.
We believe in you.
[Barry starts to go.]
IrisWait. Barry... kick his ass.
Okay, so you ran back in time and made a copy of yourself?
Well, uh... basically, yeah.
It's called a time remnant.
It's not... something that I can do every day, but I needed a way to draw the Time Wraiths out of the Speed Force, hoping that they'd be more upset at what Zoom had done than they'd be at me.
[to Iris] Is that what I look like when they start talking about science?
IrisPretty much.
Don't worry, Wally, it'll get easier to understand.
But how does that even work?
Same way Zoom did it. I ran back in time moments before I left. It's the only way I could be in two places at once.
[still a bit confused] O-okay, so the-the time remnant, it's still you.
Yeah.
But he died.
I...uh, he was willing to sacrifice himself for all of us.
IrisThat's how much he loved us.
You know what, we'll just forget about it. Uh, Barry, I'm glad you're okay.
Can't stop thinking about my dad's doppelganger. Seeing him, knowing that he's out there, that should've made it easier. It doesn't. It just made me miss him even more.
IrisI can't even imagine how hard that must have been.
We just won. We just beat Zoom. Why does it feel like I just lost?
IrisBecause you've lost a lot in your life, Barry. More than most. But... maybe you and me, seeing where this thing goes, maybe that can give you something for a change.
That's all I've ever wanted to hear you say. And I wish that I was in a place where I could try that with you. But I feel so hollowed out inside right now. I feel more broken than I've ever felt in my life. If I'm ever gonna be worth anything to you, I need to fix what's wrong with me. I need to find some... some peace.
IrisBarry, listen to me. You waited for me for years. You let me get to a place where this is possible. So I am telling you: I am gonna do the same thing for you. Wherever you need to go, whatever you need to do... do it. And when you get back, I'll be here.
Okay.
IrisI love you, Barry.
[Barry and Iris kiss.]
I love you, too. And I always will.
I was in a coma for nine months, and when I woke up, I was the fastest man alive. The Flash.
More like... Kid Flash.
... Don't call me that.
IrisI call you that.
Okay, how about no one calls me that.
IrisListen to me, Barry. You said we love each other in that other life. If I were your Iris from over there, I'm sure I would know exactly what to say, but I don't. All I can say is... I believe in you. And you can stop this guy. Be the Flash, Barry, because that's who you are. You're the Flash.
[Some of Barry's memories return to him.]
I'm the Flash.
[Barry is trapped inside a mirror.]
IrisWhat's it like in there?
Ummm... Dark. Look, Iris, uh... I'm sorry that I'm... stuck right now.
IrisOh, honey, I know that you're stuck. It's okay, we are gonna get you outta there.
No. [laughs] No, that was misleading. Not the mirror. I mean with us. This thing with Joe and... You were right, it's not Joe, it's me. It's my problem. I've just been feeling nervous about this new dynamic between the three of us. I dunno. I have everything that I have ever wanted right now, and I've never had that in my life. And in a lot of ways, it's scarier than having nothing, because... it's easier to fail than to succeed. I really want to succeed.
