The Flash

My name is Barry Allen,

and I am the fastest man alive.

To the outside world,

I'm an ordinary forensic scientist.

But secretly, with the help

of my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs,

I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me.

But when my daughter came back from the future to help,

she changed the present...

and now our world is more dangerous than ever.

And I'm the only one fast enough to save it.

I am the Flash.

Previously on "The Flash"...

Who is your accomplice, Nora?

The cure's finished, and it works.

- What do you do? - Trust me.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

We made an arrangement.

We cure him and then Grace.

That is a new timeline struggling to break through.

Something big is coming.

What's going on?

Please!

If Cicada doesn't exist anymore, who was that?

I've missed you, Uncle Orlin.

Something went wrong.

We got Dwyer. We gave him the cure.

This should all be over.

But another Cicada showed up, took Dwyer and the dagger.

Thawne! Did you hear what I said?

- Another Cicada showed up. - I know.

I know.

- Who is that? - I have no idea.

You said manipulating the timeline would stop Cicada.

You said you knew what you were doing!

I know what I said.

I was very wrong.

What do we do? What do we do now?

I can't help you anymore...

little runner.

What?

You have to help me.

It's too late.

No.

There's gotta be something we can do.

You... you have to help!

There is only one thing left to do.

Tell your father.

You tell your father everything.

Your lung's healing.

It'll take a while for you to get

the rest of your strength back,

but don't worry.

I'll take care of you.

Like you took care of me.

Who are you?

Grace?

Hi, Uncle Orlin.

But you were...

A ten-year-old girl in a coma?

Eventually, that girl at the hospital wakes up.

She grows older,

and she becomes me.

You're from the future, like Flash's daughter.

I came back here to work with you again.

And I remember everything you taught me, Uncle Orlin.

Now, get some rest.

Wait.

Where are we?

No one will find you while I'm gone.

There's noodles in the pantry if you're hungry.

And ice cream.

Where are you going?

To take care of something important.

When I get back...

We're gonna figure out how you get your powers back.

And Dr. Ambres never talked about her relationship

with Orlin Dwyer?

She never really talked about anything.

After her fiancé died, she wasn't quite the same.

How so?

Angry. Withdrawn.

Only time she seemed happy

was when she was with that girl in the coma.

Can you think of anything that might help us find Dwyer?

I'm sorry, Detective.

Okay, if you come up with anything,

would you give me a call, please?

Thank you.

Somebody's gotta know something.

Everyone we've talked to is telling the truth.

I think Ambres was the only one working with Dwyer.

Well, look, we'll pore over the files at CCPD.

Maybe we missed something.

We'll let you know if we come up with anything, all right?

You okay?

I just, uh...

don't know what to do.

Yeah, me neither.

We've hit walls before, though.

We'll figure it out.

All right.

Nora West-Allen, let's see what we have here.

Boring. Boring. Boring.

Banality. Boring. Boring.

Come on.

I know you're working with someone, but no names.

Clever girl.

Hey.

Cortex isn't gonna clean itself, you know.

Oh, nice table. Liking the new digs.

Well, technically, they're old digs,

but I guess there is an upside to remodeling after an attack.

Did you guys find anything?

Well, I put out an article, but none of my readers have seen Dwyer

or this new Cicada.

I talked to Earl Cox, all my contacts... nothing.

How long till the satellite can scan for dark matter?

How about now?

Well, if this new Cicada

even has traceable dark matter.

I mean, we've seen Cicada numéro deux do things

that we've not seen before, right?

Yeah, I mean, he can dampen powers,

he can control the dagger just like Dwyer,

but it's... I don't know, it's also like...

Like he could take control of us.

Let's hope Caitlin can figure that out at the Tannhauser site

while we figure out where he is.

We got a Starchives asset in Kolins Woods.

Starchives? What is this?

Well, it's a place where we house

everything Flash related... Prototypes, super suits...

I mean, everything since day one.

Okay, and the alarm is going off because...

Because somebody just stole something from us.

Something really, really, not good.

You guys at the Starchives yet?

We just got here.

No sign of forced entry.

Or overhead lighting, apparently.

Pretty sure that's a vacuum.

Okay, keep looking!

Remind me again what we're looking for?

Uh, it's like a huge round glass bubble.

You mean like that?

- Yeah... We found it!

Thawne's Time Sphere? Are you sure?

What do you mean "Am I sure?"

- Pretty sure. - I'm looking right at it, why?

'Cause we're looking right at it too.

So it's here and in the Starchives

at the same time?

Somebody stole the plans and made a duplicate?

Not exactly.

Guys, cue up Operation Shazam.

Ready.

One scratch on two different Time Spheres.

Or one scratch on one Time Sphere.

That's impossible... unless...

Unless it's the same one.

It is the same one.

This is our Time Sphere.

Which shows up here at the same time

that someone who looks like Cicada kidnaps Orlin Dwyer.

It's not a coincidence.

So whoever kidnapped Dwyer...

Is the Cicada from the future.
