I'm getting faster, faster than I've ever been, and I wonder if it's because lately something's chasing me. I know what it is that's stalking me. It's my past. It's getting closer, and as fast as I am, I can't help but feel like my past has almost caught up with me.

Where's Barry?
He should be here any second. I sent him out for...
[superspeeds into the house] Pizza!
What?
From Coast City?
Supposedly the best in the west.
Why didn't I think of this before? Come to papa.
How do you know Barry? Are you guys, like, friends or something?
LLLaurel Lance
Not really. We met last time he was in Starling City visiting my friends. John Diggle, Felicity Smoak, and Oliver Queen.
Three people who absolutely have nothing in common. As far as I know.
LLaurel
Cisco, I know Barry's the Flash, and Oliver's the Arrow.
[chuckles] How do you know that?
LLaurel
[whispers] Because I'm the Black Canary.
Stop playing.
LLaurel
It's true.
You stop it right now. No. [laughs]
LLaurel
Okay, okay. Calm down.
I love you. I mean, I love the way that you beat up criminals.
Look, you said it yourself, if we don't find Hannibal Bates, you go to prison. For a crime you didn't commit. I'm not going to let that happen. Not again.
This isn't like your dad, Barry.
Eddie, look.
When your dad was put away, you were a kid. There wasn't anything you could do. But you're not a kid anymore. You're a scientist. Hell, you're The Flash. You are going to find Bates and you are going to clear me. So go do it.
[to Iris] You were right. I was hiding something from you, and you deserve to know the truth. The reason I've been so distant lately... I've been working with The Flash.
[reading a newspaper front page in the Time Vault]
"Flash missing. Vanished in crisis."
"After an epic street-battle with The Reverse-Flash, our city's very own Scarlet Speedster disappeared in an explosion of light."
Barry, look at the date.
April 25, 2024. Guys, when I fought The Reverse-Flash at Christmas, he said we'd be fighting for centuries.
Wait, you can't really think that this is from... the future.
That would mean Dr. Wells, or whoever he is, is also...
From the future.
I have to say, I'm really digging the brighter red suit. And the white on the symbol? That's dope. Wait a second. Suppose we now change the color on your suit. Will it be because we got the idea from this picture? That would mean we're living in a causal nexus. This - wow. This is so trippy. Like, Marty and the Polaroid trippy.
Not as trippy as the name on the byline.
Iris West-Allen?
Mazel tov?
GGideon
Hebrew. Ancient language of the Jewish people.
You know Dr. Wells?
GGideon
Yes.
Do you know who he really is?
GGideon
I don't understand the question.
I... I mean, what is he doing here? W-why did he come here?
GGideon
To kill you.
I know the timing might seem off with everything that has gone on, but I want to propose to Iris and I want your blessing.
No.
[chuckles] Come again?
No. You do not have my blessing.
Iris Thawne. Sounds pretty good, huh? [walks off]
[to himself] I have a feeling she's gonna want to hyphenate.
You might as well take that mask off. I know it's you, Wells. Or whoever you really are.
Well, allow me to introduce myself. [removes mask] My name is Eobard. Eobard Thawne.
I don't understand. Why do you have my name?
Well, 'cause we're family, Eddie.
Funny, I haven't seen you at any reunions or weddings.
Think about your best friend. It could be your wife, your father, maybe someone you grew up with. It's the person you can't wait to talk to at the end of the day. The person that knows everything about you, who roots for you. Now imagine your best friend had a secret. No, not a secret. A universe of secrets. Would you confront him? Would you stay silent? Either way, you know nothing will ever be the same again.
[speaking through Eiling] I... am... Grodd. Fear... me.
What happened to Grodd?
We don't know. After the Particle Accelerator exploded, I went down to check on him, and his cage was empty.
So he could have been affected by the same energy that hit Barry?
When the dark matter hit Grodd, all the drugs and serums that Eiling injected him with could've activated. Maybe the Accelerator explosion created a meta-gorilla. I think we know what happens when a super-intelligent ape who's pissed off at humans escapes captivity.
Cisco's right about the first part.
Grodd hate banana.
You will get what's coming to you eventually.
EEiling
I'm not ashamed of my actions, Mr. Allen. You've seen what these meta-humans are capable of. Soon, your prison won't be enough.
Not all meta-humans are dangerous.
EEiling
Oh, you're afraid that I know you're The Flash? Don't get your tights in a twist, I've known for months. I wanted to come after you, I would've done it by now.
But you think you're gonna need me.
EEiling
Harrison Wells turned me over to that beast. He used me as a damn puppet. So like it or not, we have a common enemy, you and I. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a gorilla to hunt.
