Sorry to pop in so late.

No, it's fine.

I had a great time
at mimosa brunch

with you, Kara, Alex, and Ryan.

But I just--I didn't expect
to see you again so soon.

- Yeah, it was great
to finally meet you.

I didn't want
to make it a thing,

but you're kind of
my career role model.

- I am?
- Yeah, I mean,

that story you told us
about being kidnapped by Cicada

and then fighting your way out

and writing about it
the next day

like nothing happened?

It still gives me goosebumps.

- Well, look, I'm--
I'm happy to see you,

but what's up
with the late visit?

What's going on?

Oh.

For the past five years,
as Dreamer,

I've been honing my powers.

And not to brag,
but I can turn dream energy

into just about anything.

So lately,
I've been trying

to take my powers
to the next level.

And I read
about this ancient source

of Naltorian dream energy.

So I've been going
into the dream realm

to try to find it,

and I could sense

that I was close
in my last dream.

And then...

my powers got erased.

Look.

Normally,
something happens here.

It's like every time
I try to call on it,

it just feels further away.

And I know this is
gonna sound crazy,

but I think that
the only person

who can help me is you.

really bad happened.

would have looked like

if I was a police officer?

"Captain."
Incredible.

- No, what's incredible is,
first you were in my dream,

and now I'm here
with you in yours.

It's like we're having
a shared dreaming experience,

but I haven't read
about anything like this

in my Naltorian texts.

- Well, there's gotta
be a reason for it.

I mean, why did we
suddenly fall asleep?

I don't know.

That's not
our biggest problem, Iris.

I have been trying to wake
us up since we got here.

But without my powers, I can't.

- We're trapped?
- For the time being, yes.

But the good news is,
there's always an exit.

We just have to find it.

Hey, Cap.

Nice takedown earlier.

CCPN is dying
to interview you about it,

that and how you took down

the Snart siblings last week.

You're unstoppable.

Okay, sure.

Wonder what I did
to take down Lisa and Snart.

It doesn't matter.

Look, I know dream lives
can be intriguing,

but we need
to stay focused here.

Okay, it's not safe to stay in
the dream realm for too long.

Let's check up there too.

- You know, it's actually nice
to be making the news

instead of just reporting
on it.

This could actually be my life.

- But you're such
a talented reporter.

- Yeah, but there was
a time when I wanted

to be a cop, just like my dad.

I mean, he was a hero
to so many people.

Does this mean
that being a police officer

is what I should be doing?

[piercing noises]

Hey, look.
A way out.

Iris.

Iris.
Iris, wait.

I never finished telling you
what happened in my dream.

You died.

How?

- You weren't
the only one there.

There was also
this hooded woman.

I didn't see her face.
She didn't speak.

She just looked at me
with these glowing eyes.

I think she's the one
who took away my powers.

And I think
she's the one that killed you.

- She's the one you saw
right before we passed out.

- She forced us
into your dream.

And now I'm starting
to think that it's because

the only place she can kill
is in the dream realm,

which is why I'm so weirded out
by this door.

Either way,
we need to be careful.

And we need to get out of here
fast, before she finds us.

biometric analysis,

Iris and Nia are

But why can't we wake them?

Baby Nora's okay so far.

Everybody with a pulse!

Frost?

- Do you feel hot,
heart racing?

- Yeah.
Why?

- The Naltorian mystics had
a word for something like this.

It roughly translates
to angry sleep.

Basically, if you stay
in a dream too long,

your body starts
to experience trauma

from the intense strain.

So we're on a clock?

I have Barry.

There must be something.

I--I don't know

I guess back at Jitters,

I felt something
that I haven't felt in years.

Being in a world

Hazards of being married

that kind of recognition
is great for journalists.

Why is it

- Well, suddenly it didn't

It felt like
it was preordained,

like I didn't earn it.

- So that's why you've
been dreaming of lives

with no preordained destiny.

- Where I can make
my own choices.

But, Iris,

you've already been
making your own choices.

You're worried
about publishing today

because it leads
to your first Pulitzer,

but that was a choice
you made years ago,

when you decided
to become a journalist

in the first place.

Don't you see?

Every time
you're pursuing a lead

or staying up all night,

digging into a story--

- I'm doubling down
on that choice.

about destiny.

It isn't just one choice.

Destiny is the culmination
of a lifetime of choices.

on the right path, Iris.

She's gonna be fine.

She and Nia

How can you be so sure?

powerful and kind.

It was almost like
a guardian angel.

Barry, I think it was a sign.

Spiderwebs.

Something that's always
guided me as a journalist

is that in order
to honor the truth,

you can't control it.

You just have to follow
the story and engage with it,

even if where it leads you
is scary.

- Before I came
to Central City,

when I saw you in my dream,
you said to me,

"It's about control."

But Iris helped me realize
that giving up control

was what I needed

both on the right path.

We just needed
to adjust our perspectives.

- She is the first woman

She's the one
I've been looking for.

I just didn't realize it.

And now that I've connected

she is going to teach me

- You don't have to do this.
We already decided

to let the rest of our future

Yeah, I know.

And we will.

It's just that
being a journalist,

my future isn't unwritten.

And that has nothing to do

into my grandmother.

Okay, this cheesy
sausage and egg casserole

is her recipe.
Enjoy.

- Who needs cheesy fries
when you have that?

- Ditto that.
I'm gonna need that recipe.

Is it like a family secret?

- I know people.
I'll get it for you.

Can we do this every week?

And I don't just mean the food.

This just is so wonderful.

Thank you all
for making me feel at home.

- Of course. You're part
of this family now too.

[knocking on door]

- Are we expecting
someone else?

- Mm-mm.
- I am.

Hey.

Hi.

- all: Hey.
- Hey, man.

- Don't worry.
Since I'm guessing

Khione already told you
what happened,

I won't come in.

I'll be right back.

- Thanks
for letting me drop by.

Look, I know
what I did to you was wrong

and seriously screwed up.

For whatever it's worth,

Frost was supposed
to be my ride or die,

you know,
my destiny.

Ever since she's been gone,
it's like I'm stuck

in some bad dream.

And I can't wake up.

But the truth is, there
is no waking up from this.

And now it's got me
hurting everyone around me,

just like I hurt you.

So I just wanted
to come by to say that...

I'm really sorry, Khione.

I wasn't thinking right.

And I totally understand
if you never want to see me.

Mark, I forgive you.

- You--really?

Yes.

That's what friends do.

I'm really gonna miss you.

Where are you going?

Away.

You taught me
one other important thing:

no one can take away this pain,
not even you.

So in order to get over it

and learn to live
with whatever it is,

I need to go through it,

all of it.

Alone.

Hey, promise me you'll
keep exploring your powers.

Khione, there has got to be

something amazing
inside of you.

I promise.

Okay.

Yeah.

Khione, honey, you okay?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Oh!

- I guess
I am feeling a little sad.
