Guys, I saw the alert.
Meta attack downtown.

- I'm on my way.
- Sounds good, Flash.

Kamilla?
Is that you?

- Uh, yeah.
- And Chester P. Runk, sir!

Ready to assist you
in all your superhero needs.



Why are you two on comms?

- Uh, Kamilla let me in.
- We're the only ones here.

Frost is at A.R.G.U.S.,
checking on Bloodwork.

Cisco's off the grid,
cataloging post-Crisis metas.

Iris is on a story...

And Ralph is
who-knows-where,

tracing down Sue Dearbon.

Okay, no worries.
I'll do this solo.

Are you sure you
don't want some help?

'Cause, I mean,
I'm... I'm ready, willing,

and caffeinated, sir.
Put me in, coach!

Thanks, Chester,
but I'm good.

Uh, what did we do?

Wow, Flash.

It was really bad.

Oh, great.

Apparently, there's something

And that jawline, though?
Very distinctive.

Hmm.
Listen, guys, I'm sorry.

Well, what are you

I've calculated approximately

3.725 trillion changes.

Is this a mobile interactive

Um, yeah, it... it is.

I'm... I'm just trying

There's not even a cemetery
there anymore.

[sighs]

in Central City.
I still can't find them.

Just feel like a piece of me

is missing.

And friends

are enemies now.

Just... everything
is so different.

I'll bet hearing
different voices on comms

doesn't help, either.
[laughs]

You want something familiar.
That's not us.

Hey, I didn't mean it
like that.

It's okay, Barry.
I understand.

Just maybe take
it easy on Chester.

overeager,

Got lonely at A.R.G.U.S.,

Understanding.
Grodd wants Barry Allen

No powers, no freedom.
Only captivity.

Caitlin used

to shut down
Grodd's cerebrum.

Caitlin betrayed Grodd.

pure cruelty.

No, no.
Not from where I'm standing.

Does that great mind of yours

remember how many people
you've hurt?

Huh?

You marched an army of gorillas
through Central City.

You forced me

thousands of innocent people.

lie to himself

and was forced to confront

Grodd to enter your mind,

not to harm Flash,

So you can create another army
to attack Central City

just to destroy everyone
in your path?

That is who Grodd used to be.

That Grodd wanted power.

Power didn't bring happiness.

It brought pain.

New Grodd wants a new path.

Grodd before,

but why does Flash

Maybe I should do the same.

Crisis has changed so much.

I've been obsessed with

trying to keep things
the way they were before,

but I can't.

Those things don't matter.

If Flash can't beat Solovar,
there's no escape.

This world collapses.
We both die.

That's our fate.

No.
We decide our fate.

Grodd, Solovar beat me
because I tried to fight him

the exact same way
I fought him three years ago.

To get out of here, we just
have to try something new.

We have to run forward,
not backward.

Grodd thinks lightning
can save him?

Nothing can save Grodd.

Uh, Barry, we've got
bigger problems

- than Solovar right now.
- I know, Grodd's mindscape

- is falling apart.
- Actually, this is worse.

What can be worse than this?

[roars]

According to my scans,
if you exit the mindscape

with your brainwaves
still merged,

you'll end up in one body.

- Brundle-Flash. Gross.
- Yeah.

And what's worse is,

the resulting
physiological conflict

will cause every brain cell
to shut down,

- and the resulting form would...
- We'd both die.

- Yeah.
- Wait, so we have to somehow

separate their minds at
the exact moment they escape?

And I'd have to be accurate
to the millisecond.

- Which isn't possible.
- Not for us.

But it's very possible

for a mobile interactive
artificial intelligence unit.

If we sync Gideon's
quantum intelligence network

to Barry and Grodd's
bio-analytics,

it'll perfectly time
the neural de-splicing.

But I'd have to do some more
augmenting to this puppy,

and my augmenting is what got
Barry into this mess,

and I... I just really
don't wanna mess up again, so...

Chester, listen to me.
That tweak you made

to Gideon earlier?
In two seconds,

you improved her functionality
more than I did in two hours.

You're a genius.
Maybe it didn't work out

exactly how you planned,
so here's round two.

Try again.

I need you now, Chester.
Please.

You can do this.
I believe in you.

- Flash believes in me.
- We all do.

Go ahead,
take your second chance.

Show us your moves.

Right.

It's time for the
LeBron James of the Junkyard

to do his thing, baby!

Oh, watch out,
brothers and sisters,

because Chester P. Runk
is b-b-b-back!

Great. Now all we have to...
[comm cuts off]

Flash?

- Grodd!
- [groans]

There is no escape.

[grunting]

Solovar's winning.
Come on, Barry.

- How's it going, Chester?
- Please let this work.

Grodd stinks of fear.

Grodd knows Solovar
brings him death.

Don't listen to him, Grodd.
You have too much to live for.

You hear me?
Don't let the past win.

Put it all behind you and show
Solovar what you're made of.

That's it.
Now get the hell up

Run!

Here goes!

Yes!

Come on, Barry.
You got this.

- [gasps]
- Oh, thank Rao.

- You're back.
- Yeah, I'm back.

Thanks to the team.

So do you think Grodd
has gone, like, full hero?

Or is this more of like a...
like a Captain Cold

"former villain turned
sort of good guy" situation?

Uh, we'll see, I guess.
Lyla had A.R.G.U.S. embed

a tracking polymer
in his cerebellum.

She agreed to let him out
on probation

as long as we know
where he is at all times.

So if he does break bad again,
um, I'll find him.

Which reminds me,
I'm gonna check in with Lyla

and make sure I understand
A.R.G.U.S.' protocols.

I wanna make sure they give
Grodd a real chance.

- [phone rings]
- Yeah.

Hey, babe.
You're kidding.

That's great!
When?

Cisco's coming home!

[sighs]

[sighs]
Hey, um...

I wanted to say, uh,

I'm sorry I wasn't
more welcoming.

It's... I mean, I was dealing
with this family thing.

I felt like everything
in my life was changing,

and I took that out on you,

and I'm sorry.

Ah, it's...
it's all good, Flash.

Um, by the way,

Kamilla told me

and I kind of...

hacked every cemetery database

Okay, I'm gonna need

All right.

- Eva, I'm so sorry.

Why didn't you tell me

that the machine
could hurt you?

I wanted to prove
I wasn't lying.

Words are worthless.

Evidence...
evidence is irrefutable.

My colleagues ridiculed
my reflective theory.

Even though my research
was bleeding edge,

no scientific journal
would publish it,

because I hadn't shown it
to be true.

I just...

I couldn't have you doubt me
like that.

I just...

I just needed you
to believe me.

Eva, of course I believe you.

I saw you move
those mirror pieces.

You're capable of great things.

Look, when you're feeling
better, we will...

We'll find another way.

Yeah.

I think I have
some more, uh, bandages

in the storage room.

- Would you get them?
- Yeah, of course.
