And we are done.

What do you think? Think
Nora's gonna like it?

Well, you can ask her
yourself in seven months.

I know. I know. I'm jumping the gun.

I just... I can't wait to be a dad.

Is that why there's a freezer

full of cookie dough ice cream?

That's Nora's favorite.

- Yeah, when she's 23.
- Yeah.

Ooh, you know what I could go
for right now is some of that...

Vanilla bean from that organic
dairy farm in Coast City?

Yes.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

Actually, that reminds me... for you.

_

No way.

Iris, this is in mint condition.

How did you find this?
I've been looking for a copy

ever since I lost my dad's as a kid.

Enjoy.

I mean, I can't believe you did this.

I mentioned it once six months ago.

And that's how we do, boo.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I gotta go. I scheduled
a mold inspection

so it was safe to bring
Nora to work with us.

But is having a stranger

wandering around
S.T.A.R. Labs a good idea?

I mean, the Starchives are sealed,

and I had Chester and Khione store

all the other Team Flash
stuff in the Time Vault.

Well, just make sure you bring me

some of Cecile's leftover casserole.

Done deal. See you in a few hours.

All right.

Trust me. I know Carla Tannhauser.

You have nothing to worry about.

But I don't know her.

Don't get me wrong, I'm touched
that she wants to meet me,

but I'm not her daughter.

Well, neither was Frost,
and Carla loved her

the same as she loved Caitlin.

She probably just wants
to get to know you better.

What if I say something wrong

and then things get awkward?

She might walk out...

like Mark did.

Look, Khione, I know how
much it must have hurt

having Mark walk out on you,

and I don't know how things
are gonna go with Carla.

Just go and have coffee.

See what happens.

I just got an alert
that the mold inspector

checked in with security.

Great.

You sure you don't
want us to stick around?

No, it's your day off. Relax.

I'm the Flash.

I'm pretty sure I can
handle one mold inspector.

- Mr. Allen, I take it?
- Yes.

Are you all here to find mold?

Negative, broseph. Mold's my turf.

But when you hit me up...

It alerted Code Enforcement.

This lab's operating
permits haven't been renewed

since your infamous particle
accelerator exploded.

- Oh.
- That's why we'll be conducting

a full DOE inspection today.

Okay.

What are you looking for besides mold?

I'll be measuring and
studying any device energy

or matter that emits ionized
radiation or particles.

It looks like you have a
lot of that around here.

- Yeah, well...
- And I'm here to check out

all of your electrical.

Sure... yeah, I guess
let's get started, then.

Oh, hi...

- Hi.
- Everybody.

Ooh. That smells delicious.

I'm sorry, and you are?

Hungry.

And you are?

Inspector Howard.

Inspector Howard, this is my wife,

Iris West-Allen.

- She's here.
- Fantastic.

Can we start now?

Sure.

You know what, just
straight down this hall

to the Speed Lab, two lefts and a right.

I'll be with you in a minute.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

My bad.

I thought you were resting at home.

Oh, um, yeah.

I just... I couldn't
wait for my casserole.

- Ah.
- Yeah.

So what's up with the City Hall gang?

Apparently, a mold inspection triggers

every other city inspection too,

which is way more prying
eyes than I expected.

Let me help.

No, look, I know people
like this chief guy,

and he's just itching for
a reason to shut us down.

I can tell.

You sure you don't mind? I mean...

Handling bureaucratic
jackassery is, like, my thing.

- Okay.
- We got this.

Mr. Allen.

Inspector, sir.

Oh!

Whoa, whoo!

Oh.

No mold up there, man.

Oh.

- Could've told him that.
- Great.

- Whoo!
- Is this ramp used

for declivity or purely entertainment?

Oh...

- Both?
- Both.

So your thing with the
electrical stuff in it?

Thing with all the elec...
uh, the breaker box?

Right, the breaker box.

Breaker... it's in the...

What's a Speed Lab for, anyway?

Oh, well...

You know, it's crazy 'cause we...

as big as this place is, we
actually really don't spend

a lot of time in here, right?

- Hardly ever.
- Hardly ever.

So I feel like we should just move on.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Fine.

- Yeah?
- Let's go, folks.

Let's go, folks.

Electrician's unusual.

Yeah, if you ask me, they all seem like

characters from a sitcom.

"Inspectors," coming this fall.

Okay, breaker box is
just right over here.

We just left this room.

What are you trying to pull?

We...

we must have taken a wrong turn.

In your own facility?

Okay, this is super trippy.

Not sure I would have phrased
it that way, but I concur.

Allen, I hate shenanigans.

If this is some kind of a joke...

Joke? No. No.

Barry's not even a
funny guy, like, at all.

I mean, this stuff happens
all the time, right?

I mean, this place is so
big, we get lost in here,

what, once, twice a day?

Yeah, or every couple of hours.

Every couple of hours.

- It's a real labyrinth.
- It's a real labyrinth.

So...

Yeah, it's just here.

- Yes.
- Sorry. Excuse me.

I'll just squeeze right by you.

Here we go. Yeah.

Okay, so sorry about that.

Here we go. Just...

You've gotta be kidding me.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

All right, what in the
H-E-double hockey sticks

is going on here?

Honestly, no idea.

Don't look at me.

Don't know.

Whoa, was that there before?

No.

I have excellent spatial retention.

I can say with near certainty

that grandfather clock
was not here before.

Barry,

how did a grandfather clock
get into the Speed Lab?

I don't know.

And why can't we get out of this room?

I don't know.

This would fetch a lot at
the "Antiques Roadshow."

It's from the 19th century, only...

it looks like it was built yesterday.

I don't know why you're playing a prank,

but I know how.

Clearly there are two identical labs

in this immediate vicinity.

You got us.

- Ha!
- That's right.

You know what, can
we just have a second?

- Mm-hmm.
- We'll be right back. Okay.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm.

- Barry.
- Hmm?

What the hell's going on?

And what's up with the rando antique?

I don't know. I don't know.

I'm trying to call the
team. I can't get a signal.

It's like we're cut off
from the rest of the world.

Okay, first a time loop,
and then Mia and I are

stuck in a dream, and now this?

Maybe it's some kind of illusion.

I mean, there's at least
a dozen metas that have

the ability to create one this powerful.

Except, I don't know, this doesn't feel

like an attack or an illusion.

I know. Okay, but don't worry.

We're gonna find a way
out. It's what we do.

Can we hurry,

because our future
speedster needs a snack.

- That's it?
- What?

That's it. That's it.
I'll run to the future.

- I can find out how we escaped.
- No.

And then I can run back and fix it.

No, Barry, I don't
know. I think we should

think this through and weigh our options

before you start zooming through time.

Iris, it's not just about us.

It's about Nora now too.

Whatever's happening has just started,

but it's gonna escalate fast.

It always does.

That's why my gut is telling me

those people in there
are in real danger.

Isn't yours telling you the same thing?

Fine.

Just make sure you bring
me back a decent snack

- from the future.
- Okay.

Something with pistachios.

? You got a Z ?

? We got an A ?

? And what else,
'cause za's not a word ?

Yeah, it is. Za, like pizza.

Pizza, pizza, pizza!

- Girl, you did not just echo.
- I echoed.

- You are my favorite human.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

But za is not a word.

Why would you say za instead of pizza?

Pizza just feels good
when you say "pizza."

What's wrong?

You know when I went all nova

at O'Shaughnessy's a couple weeks ago?

Of course I do. You were so badass.

Thanks.

Well, now social media is buzzing

with descriptions of a new light meta,

descriptions that sound exactly like me.

Chuck, what if everyone finds out?

I mean, well, then you'll be
the new celebrity superhero.

I mean, that could be
fun. Think about it.

The mayor would probably invite
you to some fancy parties.

You get to hobnob with the in crowd.

I don't wanna hobnob
with anyone but you.

I like hobnobbing with you too.

I mean, hey, look, let's be real.

You are the most incredible
person I've ever met.

And I have no idea how I
got so lucky as to end up

with someone who's so
far out of my league,

but I'm not even gonna ask that question

'cause all I know is that I love you

and you mean the world to... me.

I didn't mean that.

No, I definitely did
mean it. I love you a lot.

And I don't know why I said it again.

What is wrong with me?
I need to stop talking.

Okay, now you talk.

I...

Oh, hey, guys.

Look at you two lovebirds.

You are just the cutest thing ever.

Okay, don't mind me. I am not looking.

I see nothing. I'm going upstairs.

No, no, no, no, don't. Stay. Join us.

With three of us, we can
play "Settlers of Catan."

But what about our "Scrabble" game?

- Let's be real. You
were letting me win.

Za's probably not a word.

Do the settlers come with wine,

'cause I like wine.

- Yes.
- Yay.

Wine. I'll get us wine.

Yay.

Are you guys okay?

- Yes.
- Yeah.

Where's Mr. Allen?

The bathroom.

He's gonna be a while. Quite a while.

What's that sound?

Uh, I'm starving.

Is anybody else hungry? I'm buying.

Dude, what was that?

Uh, another prank!

Gotcha.

Okay, I've had enough.

Johnson, you can come out now!

- Who's Johnson?
- Your accomplice.

Johnson from division.

He called ahead, didn't
he? That little...

- Yeah.
- Prankster.

I'm on to you, Johnson!

Okay, this is bad.

- "Star Wars"?
- Oh, I'll say.

You think you're so funny

to mock the guy who likes sci-fi, huh?

I'll tell you something
that's funny, okay?

S.T.A.R. Labs is getting an F minus

for how funny you are!

Sir, we have a larger problem.

Why can't I just go home
and feed my parakeets?

Okay, this is seriously freaking me out.

Are we in danger?

Um...

Johnson isn't behind this.

Is he?

No, he's not.

How do you know, and
why should we trust you?

Because I'm the Flash.

And whatever's going on here,
it's definitely not good.

Okay, that makes sense.

You know what?

Oh!

Dude, you really are the Flash.

I've never met a superhero before.

I know that we're in a situation here,

but if we get out of
this, I would love to study

some of your quantum
biochemistry sometime.

If we get out?

No. Are we gonna die?

Oh, man. No.

- Hey, nobody is gonna die.
- No.

No, we just need to figure out

why these objects keep showing up.

I have a theory about that.

Imagine this is all space-time.

Normally, it flows and
stretches like this.

We move from one room,
one moment to the next,

but we can't do that. We're stuck.

Because space and time
for us has lost elasticity.

It's like some kind
of gravitational force

is creating a zone that
we can't escape from

and pulling objects out of time too.

It's called a time magnet.

I really like science fiction, so...

When I was doing
research for the map book,

I found out that 100 years from now,

a weapons vault would be right here.

Let me guess: one of those
weapons will be a time magnet.

Why is it here now
and not in the future?

Unknown, but in order to
prevent the temporal anomaly

that we're stuck in from happening,

this future weapons
vault would have paired

the time magnet with
some kind of stabilizer.

So whoever brought the magnet with them

from the past forgot to bring
the stabilizer with them?

Maybe they were in a hurry.

Why would they be in a hurry?

Because they were stealing it.

Think about it, it could be a thief,

a time thief trying to
escape their past to get away.

Now hold on. We haven't seen
anybody come through here

except for the people in this room.

You're right.

So that means that somebody
in this room is a...

thief.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

Jane, is there any way to find out

if someone is from a different time?

Theoretically, a time traveler
might give off excess radiation,

and we have a radiation scanner.

Okay.

Well, let's test that theory.

Well, I guess I can't go,

which means it's your turn, Allegra,

and by the looks of it, you have

enough lumber and brick
to build two roads.

Which means you have the longest road.

Which means I win, I think.

- Mm.
- Oh! Yay.

You know, the thing about roads is,

when you go down a road,
you can always come back.

You just turn around

and go back to where you started...

or where we started.

You know, I have some legal briefs

upstairs that I need to work on,

so I'm just gonna mosey on upstairs...

No, don't.

Best two out of three.

Right?

It's okay, Allegra.

I'll just... I'll just go.

Okay, now that Chester's gone,

you wanna tell me what happened?

]

Hmm.

Clear.

You seem to know a lot about this, Jane.

Maybe you're the time thief.

I am the only one in this room

with the mathematical expertise.

I suppose it is possible
that time travel induces

temporary amnesia such that I could be

the time thief without remembering.

You're clear too, Jane.

Clear.

Wow.

Look, I'm not some
kind of time traveler.

This is a ruse,

a distraction to cover
for your broken facility!

And when I get out of
here, I am report...

What is it?

Howard, what is it?

Oh, God.

He's a statue.

He's a statue.

We're all gonna be statues.

He's not a statue.

- He's dead.
- De...

Scattered through time
and space in a collection

of free-floating subatomic particles.

So he was erased and
replaced with a statue?

It's the law of conservation of matter.

If we don't all get out
of here soon, we're next.

Okay, I'm freaking out, man.

This is... this is way too heavy.

Everybody stay calm.

Flash, you gotta save us.

I don't wanna become a creepy
nude dude made of stone.

Poor Chief Howard.

What could have caused that to happen?

She did it.

Mrs. Flash?

- Seriously?
- Me?

I didn't even get a chance to scan him.

Why should we believe you?

Maybe the scanner did
something you're not aware of.

She's right.

I need to run through
some more equations.

I think better when I'm
running through the variables.

- Be my guest.
- Why did I come to work today?

I could have stayed home,
watched some cartoons.

Look, we both know you didn't cause

whatever happened to Howard,
which means it has to be

something else, something
we haven't seen yet.

Okay, well, we need to figure
out what that is and fast.

- Otherwise...
- I know.

Bad taste in clothing will
be the least of our concerns.

Okay, I'm all ears.

Chester told me he loves me.

What? I knew it!

You guys have been making
the "I'm about to say it" eyes

at each other for so long,
and you finally did it.

Am I confused?

Do you not feel the same way about him?

I love him so much it hurts.

Aww! Then what's the problem?

He loves you. You love him.

Just say it back and
get to the good stuff.

Cecile, you know what
happens to people that I love.

They leave or worse,
like Nash and Esperanza.

Allegra, I can't even
imagine how tough that was

for you to go through, but Chester,

if he loves you, he's not gonna leave.

It's the same thing my dad said

right before he bailed on me and my mom,

and she said it too,

right before she kicked
me out of the house.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to care
for someone like that

and then have them leave, not again.

I don't think I could handle it.

I understand.

- Really?
- Yeah, really.

One failed marriage over here,

thank you very much.

You never talk about it.

Because it sucked.

But, Allegra, you are
not gonna lose Chester,

and besides, God forbid
you guys break up,

that's, like, way in the future.

See? It could happen.

It could happen. You
could also get married.

Don't freak out!

My point is,

right now, in this moment,

you are falling in love.

Everything that you're worried about,

that's way off in the future.

This moment is magical,

so why don't you just be in it?

Give it everything you've got
and enjoy every second of it,

because if there's
one thing that I know,

it's that what you and Chester have,

it is something special.

I don't get it.

There's no pattern to
anything that's happening.

Except for the fact
that we're about to be

erased from time along with
two more innocent lives.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry.

I never should have tried to
open the Speed Force tunnel.

No, Barry, I'm sorry.

My thief detection plan got

Chief Inspector Howard atomized.

Iris, running to the future,
again, when it never works...

I should know that by
now, but it doesn't stop me

from building a crib
seven months in advance.

Well, it's not like I'm any better.

Barry, I think I'm in denial

about how different things are becoming,

and... I don't know,

I think I'm worried that
I'm not gonna be able

to do the things that I used to.

Iris, just 'cause you might
have to slow down a bit

for your pregnancy, it doesn't mean

you're never gonna get to
do the things you love again.

Yeah, I know, but, Barry, it's like

everything is changing,
and I can't stop it.

Like my body.

Barry, I can feel it changing.

And I'm tired all the time now too,

and I just wanna eat everything in sight

and I have a pregnancy brain,
and it's like where you just...

you talk about things that you said,

and then the next second
you don't even remember

what you've said.

I'm sorry.

I can only imagine how tough it is.

Baby, I don't want you to think

that I regret getting pregnant.

It's just...

sometimes I wish I could
go back to my old self.

What?

It's like I'm stuck in the past,

and you're racing to the future.

And now I just want some
cookie dough ice cream.

I think you mean vanilla bean.

Yeah. See? Pregnancy brain.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

You're not the only one that's
been getting things mixed up.

What does that mean?

I know who our time thief is.

Okay, look, we're really
sorry that this is happening,

but we both promise you that
we will get you out of here.

Thanks, Mrs. Flash.

So, look, Iris and I discussed it,

and we think we know

what might be causing
all this to happen.

Really?

Yeah, the Speed Lab is
where I carry out experiments

as the Flash, so it's
possible this room is flooded

with temporal particles.

What does that have to do with anything?

I'm glad you asked that.

Temporal particles can become volatile

when exposed to electrical fields.

- They can?
- Yes.

And since we haven't had this facility

inspected in nine years,

the wiring throughout S.T.A.R. Labs

is probably faulty,
including the check valves.

We're glad that you're
here, Inspector Tao.

Could you check those for us, please?

Yeah, those valves could be reacting

with random electrical
fields, causing time anomalies.

- Makes sense to me.
- Hold on a minute...

Inspector, where do you wanna start?

Well, first, I'll check the wires.

Which ones?

The... red ones.

Then I'll...

Call a plumber,

since check valves guide
water flow, not electricity.

Which you would know if you were

a real electrical inspector.

You're the time thief.

Prove it.

You didn't know what a breaker box was.

So your thing with the
electrical stuff in it?

Uh, the breaker box?

Right, um, the breaker box.

- No, no, wait!
- Uh-uh.

We're running out of time, Flash.

Now help me get the hell out of here,

or Mrs. Flash gets it next.

Who are you?

Lady Chronos.

The greatest thief time has ever known.

You know what's happening, don't you?

We're being erased by time

because of this.

Nice try.

This time magnet has an identity matrix,

which I reset to my biometrics.

Anyone tries to take it
from me, they go boom.

Yeah.

Now get me out of
here before we all die.

Why don't you just get
rid of the time magnet?

Uh-uh.

This baby is my retirement score.

With it, I can just relax on
the beach in the Caribbean.

Then when I decide I
wanna steal the Mona Lisa,

all I have to do is activate this,

and the magnet will
bring it to me instantly.

If you just wanna leave,

why'd you kill Howard and the others?

I didn't.

The time magnet did.

When I helped Howard up earlier
and he handed me his hat,

he unknowingly brushed
against the magnet

while it was cloaked.

Then 20 minutes later, poof.

You see, the time magnet is attracting

temporal displacement particles...

Causing everything to transmogrify.

Yup.

That's why when Howard disappeared,

I knew I could use
the magnet as a weapon.

So what's your plan
to get me out of here?

I already tried to use my speed.

I can't even get myself
out, let alone someone else.

Why don't you just tell
us how you got stuck here

in the first place,
and maybe we can find

a way out of here together?

You probably know this lab becomes

a Flash museum in the future.

It's defenses are impenetrable.

But I almost beat them

before security boxed me in.

Then I noticed the lab's
last major inspection

before becoming a museum was
dated today, April 5, 2023.

Fortunately, my chrono-belt
allows me to jump through time

to a single location.

So I used it to travel
back here to the past.

Then all I had to do was sneak in here

posing as an inspector.

Let's go, folks.

Let's go, folks.

Then I simply traveled back to 2123,

only this time appearing
inside the weapons vault.

Then I snatched the time magnet

and came back here before
anyone could notice I was gone.

After that, I just had
to walk out of here,

but I couldn't.

You were right, Flash.

The magnet's so powerful,
it's attracting objects

throughout time,

trapping us here in the process.

So what's the solution, speedy?

If your chrono-belt can
transport you through time,

why not just go to 2123,
put the magnet back?

I can't.

My belt lost its charge
after I liberated...

- Stole.
- Permanently borrowed the time magnet.

The magnet must have affected it too.

Then let's destroy the magnet.

Do that and we all get
reduced to subatomic sludge.

If we can't destroy it,
then we need to rejoin

the time magnet with
its stabilizing agent.

Uh-uh, like I said, parting with
my retirement fund is not an option.

How long do we have
before we all get erased?

I don't know, but it's gotta be soon.

Unless you have a rapid
rate kinetic generator

hiding somewhere in here,
I can't recharge my belt.

We've got me.

If you wanna survive,
I'm your only choice.

Working with the Flash.

I can't believe this.

Wait.

How do we know that we can trust you?

I've had the most direct
contact with the magnet,

so my mask can't protect me much longer.

If I don't restabilize this thing,

I'll be the first to go.

The second I return
this, I'll be arrested.

At least you'll be alive.

How will we know putting
the time magnet back worked?

She did it.

Time's reset itself.

What about Howard and the others?

We're right behind you.

Inspector Howard.

You're okay?

No.

Ah, he will be once
the inspection's done.

Exactly.

So first thing, why do you
call this room the Speed Lab?

Why do we call this room the Speed Lab?

We just really love the Flash.

Yes.

Yup, he is a really...

- Handsome.
- Nice, handsome guy.

Wouldn't know.

Never met him.

Well...

Okay, people, you know the drill.

All right, people.

Let's get started.

- Handsome?
- I mean, yeah.

And so you guys have been
stuck in the Speed Lab all day?

Yeah, until the timeline reset itself

and Howard and all the
other inspectors walked in

like nothing had happened.

And they didn't remember a thing?

No, they just went back to their jobs.

So now S.T.A.R. Labs
is officially mold-free.

And one of the safest nuclear
facilities in the world.

Although I could have told you

you don't have a mold problem.

How?

I don't know. I just can.

Well, we're just glad
we passed the inspection

after everything that's happened
here in the last nine years.

Let's just say we were
a little concerned.

- Yeah.
- And what about Lady Chronos?

Any chance she got away?

Guess we'll find out in 100 years.

Hey, how did it go with you and Carla?

Turns out she does not want me

to replace her daughters
Caitlin or Frost.

She just wanted to get
to know me as a friend,

and she seems very wise.

You know, as someone who's
only about eight weeks old,

I really could use a
strong female mentor...

and dinner.

Iris, I know you're starving.

How do you... actually, you know what?

It's already super freaky. Never mind.

How about we get dinner
for three at Helena's?

- Cheese fries?
- Yeah.

Yes, please.

Sounds amazing.

Do I like cheese fries?

I don't know. We'll find out.

Hey, Chuck.

Oh, you can't even look at me.

I guess I deserve that.

But I have something I have to tell you.

Just don't.

I know I messed up, okay? Big time.

What I said to you earlier,
I was way out of line,

and it was so not fair to you.

Chuck...

I moved way too fast,

and I get why you freaked out.

- Anybody would.
- Chuck...

So now you wanna call the
whole thing off, which I...

Chuck, you didn't mess this up.

I did.

I've been in a lot of bad relationships,

so it's hard

for me to accept a good
one when it comes along.

Well, not good. Great.

"Great relationship" as in us?

When you said "I love you,"
the first thing I thought was,

"What if this doesn't work
out or what if I screw it up

and I lose him," but that's my baggage,

not yours.

You were worried about losing me?

Chuck, you're one of the best things

that's ever happened to me,

and I don't wanna push you away.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is...

I love you too.

You do?

Yeah, I just... I hope I'm not too late.

No.

No, no, definitely not.

Do you wanna go back to my place?

I do.

I... I definitely do,
but you should know

that I was very sad, and so I drank,

like, seven Vibe-accinos, you know,

which means I'll probably
be wide awake for the next,

you know, 10 to 12 hours, give or take.

Well, good thing we know how
to work off all that energy.

Sorry about that. Yeah, sounds great.

How could I still be hungry for dessert?

Do you need help? I could help you out.

Get your own, pal.

I will.

Just so you know, you now have

a freezer full of your
favorite ice cream.

- Best husband ever.
- Yeah.

Thanks, boo.

So when do you think Nora develops

her cookie dough craving?

No idea. But I think I'll wait.

Let her tell us when she gets here.

Till then, let's just spend each day

doing what we want to do in the moment.

To vanilla bean.

And our little bean,
'cause when she gets here,

we're gonna be on her timetable for...

Ever.

Forever.

Sounds good to me.

Me too.
