The Flash

- Look at them praying for a miracle that isn't coming.

Who knows, maybe it's my curse

to leave one betrayal behind,

only to find a greater one here amongst the stars?

They could've stopped this,

but none of them had the strength to do

what must be done,

but I do.

- So what's it like walking to go get coffee

when you can run 4,000 miles an hour?

- It's nice slowing down every once and a while,

even for the Flash.

Is Frost joining us? - No.

Last night I sent her on a two-week "Eat, Pray, Love" tour

because she's still pining over Mark Blaine.

- I thought she was mad at him all summer.

- And fall, but she still misses him

even though I told her

he's a jerk who is never gonna change.

- Let me guess, she didn't care?

Yep, she said,

"The heart wants what the heart wants."

- She's always been such a romantic.

I have learned one thing

watching Frost go through all of this.

For the first time since Ronnie passed,

I think I'm really ready to get back out there.

I'm gonna start dating again.

- That's awesome. I'm really happy for you.

Thank you.

Now, if I could just get some oat milk for my coffee.

- Two bullet trains on the Calvert railway

are gonna collide. - Barry,

that's 50 miles south of Keystone City.

Yeah.

- Ladies and gentlemen, authorities are now confirming

that despite a massive explosion,

caused by today's railway accident,

no lives were lost during this horrific event.

It appears our city has the Flash to thank once more.

That was amazing.

You got everyone to safety in what, 20 seconds?

12, actually.

Try your coffee.

- Wow, you have seriously leveled up.

If only you could teach Frost how to do the same.

I mean, bypassing anyone who calls themselves Chillblaine,

I think, would save for a lot of heartbreak.

- I mean, Frost dating anybody is a first for her.

Right? And everybody you dated before Ronnie,

I'm guessing, that was you leveling up.

You know, it's a process.

Maybe just give Frost space to do the same.

- Captain Kramer, while supportive

of your transparency, you have been criticized

for your decision to disband the city's meta-task force.

Some people thinking that it will

increase meta-crime across the city.

Do you care to comment?

- Once I came to terms with being a meta,

it helped me realize how important it is

for everyone in Central City to receive

equal protections under the same laws.

- So you felt as though the meta-task force

was unfairly targeting

marginalized sections of the populace.

Yes.

Which is why its time has passed.

- All right, thank you, Captain Kramer.

This is Iris West-Allen for "Citizentopia."

Thank you for listening.

That was great. -

It was great. Come in.

Allegra, you remember Captain Kramer.

Hi.

Well, I'll--I have an appointment

with Chief Singh, so...thanks.

You wanted to see me?

- Yes, so the last six months have been pretty intense.

- I'll say. We have three new reporters,

an IT intern, and an office manager now.

Plus, online circulation's over two million,

and your new podcast is frickin' brilliant.

- Thank you. - Oh,

we need faster Internet.

Should we call the new landlord?

- Sue Dearbon bought the building.

I think we can fix our own Internet.

Roger that,

but seriously, I just don't see how you do it all

and still find time for an op-ed each week.

Well, I can't.

So the bullpen needs a supervising editor,

someone who decides which stories we cover

and then assigns and pre-edits copy,

which is why I am promoting you.

Wh--Iris...

I've barely been staff for a year.

I--I'm not ready for that.

Well, I think you are.

- Well, you do realize you have people on staff now

who are more qualified to handle that sort of thing.

I mean, Vanya?

She's got 10 years of experience under her belt.

Or that annoying Taylor just graduated summa cum laude

from Barnard College. Even the old guy

was a war correspondent in Beirut.

Aariz is my age.

Girl.

Look, now that we're CC Citizen Media,

I am busier with more and more administrative duties.

Iris, are you sure?

- You got this. I believe in you.

What is this?

A candlelit pizza dinner

from our favorite place in Milan.

- Oh, thank God. I was too tired to cook.

I can't imagine why.

Team Citizen has been in overdrive these days.

Plus, Deon's still helping to stabilize

your temporal sickness with regular treatments.

It's a lot to handle.

I told you, I'm fine.

Plus, you're not exactly

an underachiever yourself, Flash.

Nice work at Calvert Railway. - Thanks.

- I guess we both earned a night off.

And without kids too.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great

having Bart and Nora stop in all the time from 2049.

- But if we're ever gonna have a baby...

Uh-huh.

- We need some alone time, Mr. Allen.

Mm-hmm.

- Great. - Yeah.

Ray? - In the flesh.

- What--what brings you to Central City?

- Oh, well you guys said I could always crash here

if ever I was in town, and I'm here attending CCTC,

but my hotel was overbooked. And it's impossible

to get a conference hotel room at the last minute.

So I figured I'd take you up on your very kind offer.

- Oh, that makes sense. - Does it?

- Are you guys having pizza? - Um...

Is it gluten free?

- No, it's from Italy. - Oh.

So where is Nora?

Did she come with you?

No, she's saving the world

one kid at a time and loving it.

Am...am I interrupting?

- No. - Never.

Really? Great!

So is this a sofa bed,

or, like, a sheets and blankets on top sort of thing?

- Uh, there is a guest bedroom at the top of the stairs.

Ah, you guys are the best.

I'll get the rest of my bags later.

both: Okay.

- I thought he could shrink things.

Yeah.

Truck's at the loading dock.

Copy that.

Transport team's here.

What the hell?

- In three seconds, the two on the outside

will draw their weapons and advance

while the other two hold their positions.

Jack, you're up.

- I could've melted your faces instead.

Guess you drew a lucky hand.

- Ooh, their minds are full of fear, Ten.

Show them who has the winning hand.

Jackpot.

Oh, crap.

My King, you know the drill.

- Guess he folded. - Well, that's no fun.

- Either way, that was damn fine work,

my Queen.

Well it's easy

when you can see each card before it's dealt.

My Queen.

Now what?

We raise the stakes.

There you go, Iris.

- Uh, Ray, how often do you talk to Sara

and all the other Legends?

Well, not very often.

Nate and I do have a standing drinks night once a month,

but he's rarely in the same century or year.

Yeah, that may be why I haven't heard from him lately.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

Kind of.
