Guys, I need his help. I'm sorry Cisco, but these cuffs, they aren't cutting it. Every night when I go to bed, I'm afraid that I'll wake up... be her. Maybe Julian can think of something that we haven't. [pause] Barry, when your mom was murdered, Joe and Iris, they took you in. Cisco, when Dante died, I slept on your couch to keep you company. The things we see, the things that we face, no one can do this alone. Trying is the biggest mistake that you can make.
Slow down there. Let's just talk about this, like two adults. Over coffee. Or maybe dinner, if you prefer that. There's a great Thai place up the road if you like Thai. [offers to shake hands] I'm Cisco, by the way. You must be Gypsy. It's nice to meet you.
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.]
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.
I just think... hearing his voice come out of me... it just makes it impossible for you to see me as normal-
Caitlin
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.]
[pleased with himself] Yeah, it's... kinda the Cisco Ramon inter-dimensional equivalent of Bluetooth. Kinda proud of it. Anyway, it gives us all the relevant locus information no matter what corner of the Multiverse Barry's stuck in.
Caitlin
And, if Barry needs our help, it stimulates Cisco's prefrontal cortex.
Like Schroeder's Cat. Remember? Schroeder? Guy with the cat, in the box, both alive and dead at the same time, dun dun dun. Which, by the way, seems like cruelty for animals. Half the time.
I cannot believe what you did, Caitlin. I mean, to stay awake during your own surgery, that's one thing, but talking my clumsy hands though it, that's quite the other. You were immensely brave. You fought through the pain like I've never seen anyone before.
No. It's not. Barry's trying to send us a message, I know it. I mean, he's spent all this time in the Speed Force. Maybe now he knows the answers to life, the universe and everything.
Caitlin
So you think all this crazy writing is Barry's way of telling us "42"?
You wouldn't like me when I'm frosty. [freezes the thug's forehead] What's the matter? Brain freeze? Touch my head again, and I'll freeze yours off. Maybe some other parts, too.
