You know, I have a bit of experience with these, uh, long-distance relationships. I got one word for you: holocube. [presents a holocube] These things work–
I must request that you stop speaking. Possibly forever.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Our whole plan depends on me being able to convince Dwyer to just take the cure. Last time I tried [nervous laugh], I don't think I've ever struck out so hard.
Wow, that's saying a lot considering your track record at the plate. Wait, what exactly did you say to him?
That he was creating a legacy of fear. One that would go down in history. But that we could work together to change that.
That sounds like something the Flash would say.
Well, I am the Flash.
Look, that man's a zealot. He sees you in that suit and all he sees is the thing he hates. Metahumans, super powers, the thing that took his niece away from him. He can't see past the Flash. But what he doesn't know, there's a whole lot more to you than that. Be more Barry Allen: human.
Ever since she got her powers, it's like she's a human lie detector.
How is that a bad thing?
You know I've always prided myself on being able to read people, right? With Cecile and these powers, I mean... she puts me to shame.
Well, you just got to remember that you guys are a team. That makes her strengths, your strengths. And yours, hers. So if you let her do what she's great it, it's only going to create more room for you to do more of what you're great at too, right?
Well damn. You're getting real good at these pep talks, Bar.
I know, I had a pretty good teacher.
I know how much you care about Grace. You're trying to make the world a better place for her. She didn't choose to be a meta, but she is. Does that mean she deserves to die?
DDwyer
No, I would never hurt Grace.
Then you'd let her grow up in a world of fear, where there's someone out there, hurting people like her? The cure, it will heal Grace. And you.
DDwyer
And why should I believe you, Flash?
[The Flash unmasks, revealing Barry Allen's face.]
Because I'm a father, too. My daughter, I love her more than I ever thought possible. I would do anything to make the world a better place for her. And I think you would, too. So do it.
Hey, by the way, this might not be our only lead. Do you remember that time-sphere that we built for Thawne?
That big hamster ball thing?
Someone stole one in the future to come here.
Like our... our Cicada copycat?
Makes sense. I can't even believe I just said that.
[accosting Ralph] You listen to me and you listen good, you turkey-on-stilts. It is not your job to get my girlfriend on the TEAM !!
I used to think that keeping secrets from people for their own good was a noble decision. That it would protect them. But when you do that, you just rob those people from making their own decisions. I even did it with you.
Like when you didn't want to take me to your past.
Mm hmm. I didn't want you to see how painful things got for me as the Flash, or how bad things got for your mom. But secrets are like walls, and... you can't really know someone with walls between you.
CCicada (Grace Gibbons)
I've always wanted to go up against the Flash and his legendary team. I guess I wasn't missing out on anything after all.
[After her association with Thawne has been revealed, Barry imprisons Nora in a Pipeline cell and starts walking away.]
[calling out] I'm sorry I lied to you!
[Barry stops and turns around.]
So am I. [turns and leaves]
DMDexter Myles
[over the Flash Museum's speaker] Thank you for visiting the Flash Museum today. The building will be closing in five minutes. All guests should make their way to the exit now. And, Nora West-Allen, your mother called. Please, for your sake and mine: call her back.
The one person in the world she thought she could trust died in her arms.
Nora must have felt completely alone.
But she wasn't.
Yes. she was. Because I wasn't honest with her.
Iris–
After all I did, she gave me a second chance. It's the least we can do for her.
[shows Iris the power dampener] Lia found it before she died. You put this inside of me, mom. To dampen my powers? You lied to me my whole life.
I know.
Who else knows? Who else?
Everyone.
Everybody? Everyone that I love has been keeping this from me? Why?
Because I told them to.
Why would you do that?
Nora, I was trying to protect you.
From what?
From this city. From... from meta-humans. From... from yourself.
Wow.
Nora, you don't understand.
No, I don't understand. How did I get my powers? What do you have against speedsters?
Nora, I have already lost so much. I can't risk losing you, too.
Well, you just did.
[Barry's final video message to Nora]
Nora. I don't have much time. [an explosion in the background] If you're watching this, it means you're like me. You have powers. It also means I wasn't there to help you learn how to use them. I wasn't there for a lot of things. Remember, ... my sweet Nora,... always remember: I love you. And I always will.
You can't blame the little runner, Barry. She just wanted to spend some time with her Dad. Don't hold that against her. Consider it a condemned man's last request.
You always thought you were so much smarter than us, Thawne. But you lost. And now you're finally gonna get what you deserve.
You took our daughter back to the future?
I didn't have any other choice.
I? It's "we", Barry. We. She's our daughter, not just yours.
I know that.
But you left her there anyway?
I can't trust her, Iris! That puts all of us in danger.
That's how you feel, Barry! How about asking how I feel?
I didn't think I had to!
Of course you didn't. Of course you didn't, Barry. You always see one way through a problem and damn what I think.
What the hell does that mean?
You know, we've been through so much crap, we've been through so much therapy, and you are still, still making decisions based on your emotions.
