Thawne is manipulating her.

- Follow my instructions

- Yes, I did.

Kinda thought

- If she's even here.

How can you guys be so sure

that she even came back from

He showed her a new way

something that can't
be detected.

- But as soon as she starts
running again,

we're gonna be able
to bring her home.

Tachyons?

Maybe they actually
siphon positive tachyons.

- Stealing speed from the
Speed Force like a parasite?

- That's what Thawne
taught her how to do.

She's using negative tachyons
to run and avoid our scanners.

The second that she got here,
I did, I...

I've held back from her.

It still doesn't feel right

- Well, you didn't
call me Dad till--

it was here, in this room,

right after you got
your powers.

But you know why that was.

You already had a dad.
Henry.

And when the whole world
thought that

that man was a criminal,
Barr, you...

You thought he was perfect.

- Do you think Iris is right?

Nora's plan, Thawne's plan...

could be a good thing?

- I don't trust that man.

I never have and I never will.

But I do...

trust my granddaughter.

And if we're gonna
bring Nora home, Barr...

you're gonna have
to trust her too.
