Look, I know I've been stable

another treatment quite yet,

Hey, gotta check yourself
before you wreck yourself.

All right.

Well, you're all good now.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, it's--it's just that...

um...

lately, I've been
forgetting things.

For instance, there was this
dinner at my dad's and I...

Dad? Weren't you just upstairs?

Yeah, and then I went to the
garage because you asked me

to get the files from
the old Scarpulla case.

Remember?

Um.

Yeah, I-I I must've just--

checked out or something
for a couple of minutes,

and then I have this
hazy memory of--

of a train station.

And for some reason,
I feel like you were there.

You forget we had
an appointment in the books?

You're gonna start moving
in and out of timelines again.

It's news to me
'cause I'd remember

something like that.

Yeah, yeah, I know.
Of course.

Hey, how does someone
catch a time sickness, anyway?

No idea,
but I intend to find out.

Whoa, hold up now.

What is it?

I'm picking up mutations

like ones
I've never seen before.

Well, that sounds bad.

Actually, it could
mean a lot of things,

might even be a side effect
of my treatments.

Tell you what, I'm gonna go
hit up my Force sibs

to see if they can help me
figure this out.

- What do I tell Barry?
- Nothing.

Apparently there's been
multiple sightings

I wonder how they got
their powers on the West Coast.

Actually, I have run into

quite a few metas

Come on, Iris,
what are you really doing here?

It's--it's far out, so...

Try me.

Last year,
I started feeling...

weird, and so the Still Force
took a look at me

and discovered that I had
contracted a time sickness.

Now, what that means and how
I got it is still a mystery,

but I don't know.

Recently, I feel like
I'm starting to lose time.

Okay, okay.
I see why you're freaking.

Yeah, and then this morning,
I checked in with Deon,

and he found something
that he had never seen before.

And even though he told me to
relax while he looks into it,

I mean, I can't help
but feeling that

something is really wrong.

And that's why you
threw yourself into this story?

Yeah, I needed a distraction.

Believe me, I understand.

I did the same thing when
I found out that my parents

volunteered to work
for Black Hole.

At first, I was so mad
I just looked the other way.

I mean, seriously,
I did everything to avoid

facing the consequences
of their actions.

But I had to stop running away
and face my parents.

And Iris, you have to do
the same thing

about this fear around
this time sickness thing.

Yeah, but I mean,

what if Deon shows up tomorrow
with bad news?

Yeah, that could happen.
You could also be fine.

Either way,
you have to stop running

from the fear of the unknown.

It's--it's a race
you can't win.

What?
- Tinya.

What if I'm not
the only one running?

I think I know
where to find her.

Got enough for a second cup?

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

whatever that thing is,

it's got a mind of its own.

So we're not looking
for a separate fire meta?

No.

The will to seek out
victims to kill,

need to satisfy
its hunger at all costs...

The flames have
a survival instinct.

Which means the flames aren't
being used by the killer.

They are the killer.

Because they're alive.

We're not interrupting,
are we?

No, no, no, it's good.

Just trying wrap my head
around all this.

You know, every member of
this team has dealt with grief.

Me with my own mom
back in Houston.

Nash and Esperanza.

And Barry,
all that he's dealt with,

and with both of his parents.

It's weird,
but I guess dealing with loss

is just another thing
that makes us human.

When we help each other
deal with it...

It's what makes us family.

Yeah.

So I have some filing
I need to do back at my office.

- Right now?
- Yup.

You guys stay.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, I know we have,
like, D&D plans for tonight,

but honestly,
I just I--I can't.

Yeah, I'll text Marco
and the gang.

Maybe we can pull
an all-nighter this Saturday?

I'd like that a lot.

Me too.

And Chuck...

You know I'll always
be there for you.

Right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

And for the record,

you're a very big part
of my life too.

- How's Sue?
- A life saver as always,

and it turns out that
the Dearbon Corporation

owns an entire city block

Oh, she rich-rich.

Yeah, you forget about it

in a place like this and
you're like, yeah, billionaire.

- So Tinya's there too.
- Uh, yeah.

She's sleeping
in the suite next door.

She has no place
else to go, Barry.

I--I really want to help her.

That's what I love about you.
You make a real difference

in people's lives
with everything you do.

Yeah, you too.

Speaking of,

I was thinking that
with powers like hers...

She could be a hero too.

Like the Streak?

I mean, why not?
That worked out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Babe, what is it?

No, I'm...

I'm just--I'm glad
you decided to stay

in Coast City a little longer.

The black fires?

Yeah, it's just not safe
here right now.

Um...okay.

I mean, is there anything
that we can do?

No, it's okay.

I mean, we don't even know
how to locate it,

let alone stop it.

If anything happened to you...

Yeah, no, I get it.

Okay, well, I love you.
- I love you too.

- Get some rest, okay?
- Yeah, you too.
