Luck Be a Lady
1 Previously on "The Flash" The Flash is back! How did you get your powers? Oh, you're not gonna believe it.
And do you two want to know the best part? I wasn't the only one.
- Iris West, will you marry me? - Yes.
- This isn't good-bye.
- No.
More like, "See you later.
" He's right where you wanted him.
What do we do now? We find the others.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Begin recording.
Observations on subject number two.
Name, Rebecca Sharpe.
Or as she prefers, the plebeian sobriquet Becky.
It's Becky with a Y, not, um, an I-E, or an E-E, just Y.
And you heard me say "no milk," right? 'Cause I am severely lactose intolerant, like Subject was born in Sarasota, Florida, the first indignity in a life full of unfortunate circumstances.
Mmm, mmm.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
[GASPS.]
Oh, that is definitely not soy.
Oof.
Subject lives with her boyfriend.
Almost there, almost there, almost there.
Oh! [MOANING.]
Kenny! [GASPS.]
We are going to deal with this [GROANS.]
In five five to ten minutes.
- Correction - [DOOR CLOSES.]
Subject previously lived with her boyfriend.
- Oh, I don't know.
- Subject's occupation - Should I stay? - Blackjack dealer.
Or should I hit? - Subject's temperament - I I don't know, man.
I think you should just hit.
Why don't you hit? - Defeatist.
- Okay, I'll hit.
Great, perfect.
And Got 21! [LAUGHS.]
There it is.
Here, ahh.

Here you go, sir.
Congratulations.

- There you go.
- Oh, that's that's nice.
Thank you.
Looks like I found my good luck charm.
[GASPS.]
Hey! - [SCREAMS.]
- [GASPS.]
My appletini.
Oh, no, no, no.
Can I can I maybe just Can I get a reference, you think? No? Subject believes no matter what she does, the universe will conspire to punish her.
Another job.
Ow! Okay.
Or as she writes on her Myspace page, "I am jinxed.
" [GASPS.]
[SCREAMS.]
Great! There goes another car.
It's fine.
I'm fine.
Subject's low self-esteem suggests she will be easily manipulated.
Wait, wait! Wait ow! Oh, jeez.
Come on.
Wait, wait, wait! Ow! Oh, come on.
I'm here! Hey, oh, yes! Thank you, universe! Finally, some good luck.
Hi.
Okay.

[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[RUMBLING.]
- [TENSE MUSIC.]
- [SLO-MO.]
Barry! Where are you? I don't know.
I lost Caitlin.
There's too many of them, man.
No, you can take them.
Just listen to me.
You just need to do one thing.
Run, Barry.
Run! [SCREAMS.]
Oh, come on.
[LASERS FIRING, ALARM BLARING.]
They got me.
Oh, you have failed this city.
[SCREAMS.]
[ALARM BLARING.]
[EXHALES.]
For real, Chad? In the back? Suck it, old man.
[TOGETHER.]
Oh! Wait, did you guys die already? Well, Chad He just told us Come on.
Come on.
I don't know what's wrong with kids these days.
Churlish.
[LASER FIRING.]
You better watch yourself, Chad.
Come at me at the paintball field next time.
I'll kick your little [LAUGHS.]
Hey! Mrs.
McConnell.
How you doing? Chad's a treasure.
- He really is.
- Pretzel for Caitlin.
Corn dog for Iris, two franks for Cisco Yes, thank you.
Three burgers, five churros, and six funnel cakes for Barry.
Look at all of this junk.
Guys, I'm really sorry.
If the pipes in the house weren't making this weird, annoying sound, I would have just actually had you all over for dinner.
Squeaky pipes at the West house.
- What a surprise.
- Mmhmm.
Really? You're familiar with this sound? - [CHUCKLES.]
- Oh, yeah.
You mean the [MIMICS CREAKING NOISES.]
- Yeah.
- It's been doing that for - 18 years? - Yeah.
Every house has a personality, Iris.
- Just likes to be heard.
- Hmm.
[PHONE BUZZES.]
Oh, my gosh.
They broke up.
The Wexler-Waclawiks broke up.
- For real? - Yes.
- Hell yeah.
- Yes! Uh, who are the Wexler-Wa-claws-wilix, and why are we happy that their love is dead? They're a couple that were getting married at the Propizio the weekend of the 2nd.
Which means now the venue is open.
That's amazing.
What good luck.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So now we just have to put a deposit down.
- I'll run it over.
- Nope, already covered, babe.
- Oh.
- [PHONES BUZZING AND BEEPING.]
Oh, God.
Breach alert, guys.
We gotta go.
We gotta go.
[EXCITING MUSIC.]
[STATIC CRACKLING.]
Uh Hey, Harry, um, is Jesse not coming? [SIGHS.]
So, um I thought Jesse and I were having date night.
Yeah, that's what you thought.
Let me just Okay.
[QUIRKY MUSIC.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Just let me - [CLEARS THROAT.]
- Okay, so Hey, Wally.
It's me.
Good to see you.
So, I've, um I've been doing some thinking.
- And - [STATIC INTERFERENCE.]
You know, we've both been so busy - You and Earth - [STATIC INTERFERENCE.]
Stupid hologram.
You know, it's that darn Atlantean plastic.
It's really shoddy workmanship.
- Sorry about this.
- What is what is this thing? Break Breakup cube.
You don't have breakup cubes on your Earth? Oh, that's not good.
Okay.
Okay.
A breakup cube is, uh Kind of what it sounds like.
You know, you record a message for the person you want to The person, and you, uh, pick a music setting, and then there's a tissue that pops out if you need that.
You know, a breakup cube.
Jesse's breaking up with me with a cube? Seems like a really convenient way to break somebody's heart.
Exactly.
What did she say in the message? You know, you heard.
You you're a great guy I don't remember.
Don't you have total recall? Yeah no, no.
Don't I did.
I don't.
I did, but I don't.
Come on, don't make me She you heard.
She said that you're a great, great guy and that she was busy on our Earth, and that you're busy here filling in for You know [MIMICS WHOOSHING SOUND.]
On this Earth, and she just felt that you guys were a little out of sync.
You know, and that she thought she needed some time, you know, to work on her stuff.
You know, it's not you, it's me.
Not me.
Her, me.
Her, not me.
Her.
And and she said, you know, "I'll never forget you, Wally West, because you're amazing," and then, uh, that you were her [CLEARS THROAT.]
First.
And a bunch of other stuff.
Not important.
So but he's tough.
You don't need that, right? You're a tough guy.
Right, West? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Yeah, um He doesn't want the cube.
I don't blame him.
[ALARM BEEPING.]
211s at First National and O'Sullivan Bank.
Could be a spree.
Central City Bank's on that avenue, too.
I'll check it out.
We're not done.
What? [FRANK SINATRA'S "LUCK BE A LADY".]
I'm sorry, I don't know why the app crashed.
But, uh, this one's on the house.
Luck be a lady tonight Oh.
Find a penny, pick it up, then all day you'll have good luck.
So true.
Ah, afternoon, ma'am.
It is a good afternoon, Mr.
Security Man.
[CHOKING.]
[SCREAMS.]
Luck let a gentleman see How nice a dame you can be [ELECTRICITY SPARKING.]
Please, don't touch the oven, Mom.
I know the way you've treated Other guys you've been with Luck be a lady with me Aww, you waited for me.
[GASPS.]
- I see her.
- She's getting away in a Prius.
Last time I checked, the Flash is faster than a Prius.
Luck be a lady Tonight What the hell? That's the least secure security footage I've ever seen.
Yeah, that's not even the strangest thing she made happen.
I mean, I slipped on a barrel of marbles.
It was like I was in a cartoon.
That's some seriously bad luck.
Yeah, there's no such thing as luck.
Yeah? Tell that to my cousin Hector.
He got jinxed by an ex.
Hasn't been able to find a mall parking spot for three years.
Hey, so we ran the sketches you made us through the CCP database, and Her name's Becky Sharpe.
She's 24 years old, no priors.
No priors? Then why is she in the database? Because in the last three years she's lived in Central City, she's been rear-ended four times, her identity stolen twice A cat burglar literally burgled her cat.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Okay, you see, Harry? That is bad juju.
Okay, Ramon, what you call juju, I call quantum entanglement.
Discrete quantum particles are connected, and when triggered, they simulate a synchronicity that, to the untrained eye To the common eye Could seem like luck.
So if Becky can affect the particles around her in a positive way, then their connected particles start spinning negatively.
So when good things happen to her, bad things happen all around her.
Great, she's got a good luck field.
- She's a meta.
- Well, except she can't be.
I mean, she's only been in Central City for three years.
Yeah, so there's no way she was affected by the particle accelerator explosion.
Well, neither was Kilgore.
We saw firsthand what he could do.
Not to sound like a broken record, but where the hell are all these new metas coming from? You know what? Maybe the scanners in the suit picked something up.
You said you took all the tech out.
Okay, well, I left something in.
Okay? Sue me.
Wow.
Cecile needs me at the house.
You guys let me know what you find out, all right? All right.
- There.
- Yeah, I-I see it, okay? Yeah, the suit definitely registered trace amounts of dark matter on Becky.
So if there was another dark matter incident We need to figure out how and where it happened, ASAP.
I'll calibrate your satellite to scan for the same dark matter found in the suit.
- Uh, no, you won't.
- Yeah, I will.
Don't touch the sat Don't touch the satellite! - I'll be touching it.
- Don't! - [PHONE BUZZES.]
- Oh! Um, something just arrived for me at the loft.
I gotta go.
What? You called the plumber.
Joe West, I cannot keep living with that sound.
You know, this house is, uh - Bitchin'? - No.
It's in need of some work.
In my certified opinion, you need all new piping.
Now, it'll set you back 15 thou.
- Hmm.
- Oh! O-okay.
Thank you so much.
You've, uh you've given us a lot to think about.
And I mean a whole lot.
[SIGHS.]
15 thou.
My great uncle paid less for this whole place.
I guess I'm gonna have to break open the piggybank.
Or, you know, we could take that 15.
We could put it towards a down payment on something new.
Ooh.
You're suggesting that we sell my house? Babe, I'm just saying, you know, this is This is a really big place for a couple of empty nesters like us, and there's always gonna be something that's gonna need replacing.
Let me think about it, okay? Mm-hmm.
Think about it.
[SOFTLY.]
Think about it.
- I'll think about it.
- Mm-hmm, think about it.
- [WHOOSHING.]
- Barry! Oh, my God.
Turn around! - I did! - Did you see? - No, I didn't see.
- You saw! I did see.
But just for a second.
Which is like an eternity for a speedster.
You know it's bad luck to see a bride in her dress before the wedding day.
Too late.
What happened? Um, the Propizio called.
We're not gonna be able to have our wedding there.
What? Why? Well, um, the villa burned down.
I guess a crème brûlée competition got a little heated.
Okay, well, thankfully we have our backup.
No, another couple booked it this morning.
[SIGHS.]
It's okay, though.
It's okay.
If we can stop evil time-traveling speedsters from destroying the planet, we can find a wedding venue.
Barry, our wedding is in six weeks.
It'll work out.
Okay? I would marry you anytime, anywhere.
[SOFT MUSIC.]
[SIGHS.]
Ah, Kobe beef.
My favorite.
[GIGGLES.]
Becky.
What are the chances I'd run into you? Is this your secretary? Funny, you said she was haggard.
- No, I I never said - I'll get that for you.
Whoa, whoa! [GRUNTS.]
[SCREAMING.]
I don't understand.
Your plan revolves around this dolt? What's wrong with all of you? Who makes soup so hot? [BEEPING.]
As lusterless as Rebecca is, she may be the most formidable of them all.
Then why don't we get her now? The capricious nature of her powers warrants further observation.
[SIGHS.]
[BEEPING.]
[SCREAMING.]
Oh, man, are those live lobsters? - Give me that.
You're not - Stop hovering, okay? - You're not holding it right.
- I know how to read - a dark matter scan, Harry.
- Well, not from where I sit, - you don't.
- Oh yeah, good one.
Don't you have somewhere else to be, like breaking another speedster's heart? Sorry I'm late.
Iris and I just lost two wedding venues in less than 24 hours.
- Ah, bad juju.
- Give me that, okay? Test, all right.
Here we go.
And adjust.
[SCANNER BEEPING.]
- Sorry.
- Ah, sorry.
Here, here.
Right here.
This is where Becky Sharpe was exposed to Dark Matter.
- Here? - Yes.
It can't be.
This is the middle of the street.
It's not even an interesting one.
My scans are accurate.
- Your scans are accurate? - My scans are accurate! Explain how there's nothing within miles of here capable of even creating dark matter.
There was three weeks ago.
[RUMBLING.]
This is where I came out of the Speed Force.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING.]
No, it isn't.
You came out in Ivy City.
No, I ran there after.
But I remember now.
This is where I came out.
This is where the portal opened.
And a wave of dark matter washed out with you.
I can only imagine how many meta-humans you created.
[ENGINE RUMBLES.]
My best guess? A busload.
We did it? We brought dark matter into Central City? When you pulled me out of the Speed Force, yeah.
All the people on that bus, we turned them into metas.
Every time we try to do something right, - it goes horribly wrong.
- We're cursed.
Maybe we should burn some sage.
- Guys, we're not cursed.
- You're not cursed.
- You should be cursed at.
- Okay, why should we - be "cursed at"? - You should be cursed at because you opened the Speed Force - without consulting me.
- Okay, I don't think - we need to rehash - [ALL EXCLAIMING.]
- All right.
- Okay, I did consult you, and you're the one who gave me the calculations - in the first place.
- Yeah, I told you not to use them without consulting me.
I said, "Ramon, don't use the calculations without consulting me.
" - Guys.
- Yeah, yeah, I heard you.
- I didn't see the need for that.
- And that's why - you should be cursed at.
- What does that even mean? What does it mean? It means you're a Okay, you know what? This is exactly why we didn't contact you, 'cause the last thing we need around here is more of your salty-ass attitude.
If you don't need my salty attitude, then maybe you should carry on without me.
I'll let myself out.
Oh, are you going back to your Earth? I'll breach you there right now.
"I'll breach you there right now!" - That's not what I sound like.
- That was really high.
Listen, Cisco, I know Harry could stand to work on his bedside manner, but You know what? We don't need him.
What we need is to focus on catching this meta.
- Am I right? - Yeah, you're right.
But Becky doesn't seem like one of our typical villains.
I think if we could track her down, maybe we could get through to her.
- [PHONE BUZZING.]
- Hey, Cecile.
What? I'm on my way.
I need you to run me to the house.
You said you never wanted I need you to run me to the house.
Yes, sir.
[WHOOSHING.]
[WATER DRIPPING.]
- Oh.
- What happened? [SIGHS.]
The ceiling went from clanking to howling, and then it just started pouring all this stuff down.
- Yeah.
- We need to turn the water off, stat.
Yeah.
So, the water valve is in the crawl space.
Um, don't ever go into the crawl space.
I hear you, loud and clear.
Barry, thank you very much for your help.
I'm gonna go check upstairs.
Man, why is this happening? That girl jinx us? No, no.
Nobody jinxed us.
This house is just what's another word for "old"? - Vintage.
- Vintage.
Cecile thinks I should sell it.
Yeah? What do you think? I think she's got a point.
Life would be a hell of a lot easier in a brand-new house.
- Sounds like an easy decision.
- It should be.
But this house has got one thing no other house will ever have.
[CHUCKLES.]
Remember I'd measure you kids at every birthday? Yeah.
I outgrew Iris at 12.
She kept saying she'd catch up.
All my memories of you kids are tied into these walls.
How can I give that up? Well, you don't have to give that up, Joe.
We'll always have those memories, no matter where you live.
Trust me.
When I came to live here after my mom died, I learned that it doesn't matter where you live.
Only matters that you have people that love you.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Hold on.
What's up? Great.
Okay, I'll go there now.
Thank you.
We're not jinxed.
If we were, Cisco wouldn't have found Becky.
She is at Jitters.
I'm going there now.
[WHOOSHING.]
Winner, winner! Another winner.
Becky? Hi, you mind if I sit here? Oh, today's my lucky day, but you're not my type at all.
- Can I sit? - Um Um, Becky, well, you're probably wondering how I know your name.
Mm, it's written on my cup.
Right, um, yeah, but that's not how I You see, I work for the CCPD as a CSI.
I investigate very special people.
- Celebrities? - No, not celebrities.
- Um, meta-humans.
- Oh.
Which is what I think you are.
[SCOFFS.]
See, I think you were exposed to dark matter on a city bus - three weeks ago.
- [SCOFFS.]
I think I would know if I was exposed to dark matter.
That's weird.
Becky, I know you've been having a lot of luck lately.
- [EXHALES.]
- And that you took some money from a Central City bank that doesn't belong to you.
- How do you know all that? - I just do.
Look, getting powers is overwhelming.
I'm sure you don't know how they work or what you should do with them.
I have some idea.
Uh-uh-uh.
Do you really want to test your luck? Bad things happen to people that get in my way.
[STEAM WHISTLING.]
[INTENSE MUSIC.]
Listen, CSI guy.
My entire life has been one piece of crummy luck after the next.
Look, we all have ups and downs in life.
Oh, not Becky Sharpe.
I have only ever been dealt bad hands.
But I knew one day the universe would see it made a mistake.
And then I'd have the run of the table.
I got on that bus, and Lady Luck smiled on me.
Becky, this isn't some higher power fixing a miscalculation.
You have powers, and they're affecting everyone around you, making them feel as awful as you used to feel.
I'm sorry about that, but maybe it's just their turn.
Maybe for once, everyone else can feel for a second how bad I felt my entire life.
Anyway, there is nothing you can do to stop me.
[STEAM HISSING.]
[BABY CRYING.]
[TOOL CLICKING.]
Toodles.
So what are we gonna do? I don't know.
I mean, I'm not sure yet.
I can't get close enough to her without triggering bad luck.
Seriously, that girl's a hazard.
- Hazard, that's the one.
- [GASPS.]
Maybe that means the jinx is gone.
Her powers only work in her immediate vicinity.
She didn't jinx us.
And the house is still falling to pieces.
It's been falling apart for years, just, like, really slowly.
Well, plus, Jesse dumped me, too.
I I know, dude.
And, you know, that sucks.
And we're up against a meta we can't even touch.
And we're the ones who made her in the first place.
Guys, do you have any idea how ridiculous you all sound? We have not been jinxed.
Or cursed, all right? We make our own luck, right? So what do you say we focus and we figure this out? [PHONE BUZZING.]
Hey, Iris.
You're where? [ORGAN MUSIC.]
Oh, come on.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Why did you want me to put on a shirt - and meet you at a funeral? - No, no, no.
I wanted you to meet me at this church.
- What? - We're getting married.
- Here, put this on.
- Excuse me? Barry, we've had the worst luck, okay? From the Dominators to Savitar to gorillas and now these bus metas.
And on top of everything else, now we're cursed.
- Iris, we're not cursed.
- Barry, look.
You said that you would marry me anytime, anyplace.
- Well, this is - Right? And I just feel like if we don't get married now, - it's never gonna happen.
- That's not true, okay? - I mean - Oh, it's our turn.
Our turn.
Go, go, go, go, go.
- Sorry, sorry.
- Sorry, excuse me.
Beautiful service.
- So sorry.
- I love this coffin.
- Is that cedar? - Hey, let's come on.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Can I help you? - Uh, yes.
Uh, we would like to get married.
- Yes, we would.
- Oh.
- Right now.
- Oh.
Well, would you give us a moment to, uh, reset the altar? Oh, no, no, that won't be necessary.
Look, we'll just watch.
Watch.
- Okay.
- We'll just Okay.
[CHUCKLES.]
She's excited.
Sorry.
Flip that around.
Yeah, probably shouldn't have done that.
I know, it's fine.
Okay.
We are here today to join, um - That's you.
- Me? Bartholomew Henry Allen.
- And - Iris Ann West.
In holy matrimony.
[COUGHS.]
- Excuse me.
- You okay? Thank you.
[COUGHS.]
- Whoa! - Oh, my God.
- Jameson! Oh! - [HACKING COUGH.]
Kevin, did you use the cinnamon incense? You know he's allergic to it.
Shame on you.
I don't know if we need to shame the little boy, but No, you're fine.
You're fine.
Walk it off.
- Father - [COUGHING.]
- It's fine.
- That did not just happen.
You know, it was a very nice funeral.
Really, Barry? [PLAYFUL MUSIC.]
Ahh! Ow! [LAUGHING.]
That was golden.
Don't shoot, okay? I'm here to apologize.
I know you're trying to help us fix our own colossal screw up.
- Yeah, like always.
- Yeah, I know.
I mean, I actually thought you'd be at home by now, but here you are working away.
Well things are a little complicated on Earth-2.
Oh.
Everything okay with Jesse? Yes.
I mean, yes.
If you must know, I spent the summer assembling a support staff for her, so Oh, like a Team Quick? - No.
- Team Jesse.
- No.
- Jesse and the Quicksters.
- They're not called that.
- Well, they should be.
That sounds like an awesome team.
It is an awesome team, because I assembled it.
But then, Jesse goes and kicks me off the team, all right? Apparently I'm too much like me, whatever that means.
I push too hard.
You know, too many tests.
Too many training sessions.
You know, I don't allow the team enough time for their personal bonding.
I don't understand millennials.
Anyway.
They took a vote.
I'm out.
I don't even have a home to return to now.
I can't even go back to my own Earth.
I'm sure you can empathize, right, Ramon? Because you know what I'm like.
Well, you know what? We'll handle Sharpe, and then I'll be out of your hair.
[SIGHS.]
[ALARM BEEPING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Guys, there are low probability events happening - all over the city.
- Becky's quantum field - is expanding.
- Okay, that's not possiblsi Yeah, no, her powers are localized.
Not anymore.
Babe, you in there? The door's jammed.
One sec.
[SIGHS.]
[WATER DRIPPING.]
[SCREAMS.]
Guys, the quantum field is getting higher.
My pals said you were bad luck, sir, but I figure, what are the odds a pilot has a goose fly into his engine twice? [GOOSE HONKING.]
- Bird strike.
- [ALARMS BLARING.]
Mayday, this is Flight 512 to tower.
Lost an engine and are coming down.
When did Hazard get so powerful? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so The more good luck she experiences, the more bad luck she spreads.
She must be experiencing an extreme level of good luck for her quantum field to be expanding like this.
- Where is she now? - She went back to work.
[TOGETHER.]
Snake eyes! - For the 37th time.
- [CHEERING.]
Bringing your winnings to 1.
2 BOTH: Million.
[LAUGHS.]
Give me those babies.
Hi.
Okay.
Here we go.
Oh, come on, Mama.
Guys, if Becky keeps winning, then bad luck will keep spreading.
This could destroy the whole city.
- Okay, keep calm, all right? - Keep calm.
Nothing's going wrong here.
[LOUD WHIRRING.]
Guys, the particle accelerator turned back on.
It's gonna explode.
Four minutes to particle accelerator activation.
Harry, Cisco, status report.
The generators turned themselves on.
We got to shut 'em down.
[GRUNTS.]
[ENGINE SPUTTERING.]
Flight 512 to tower, we are attempting a water landing.
Cecile! [HANDLE CLATTERS TO GROUND.]
Damn it.
[INTENSE MUSIC.]
[COINS CLINKING.]
Barry, you've got to find Hazard.
I'm almost at the casino.
Hazard's quantum field is increasing.
- How much worse can it get? - Hello, my old friend.
Let's keep this winning streak going, shall we? [CHEERY ELECTRONIC BEEPING.]
Yes.
Okay, Cherry.
Here we go, cherry.
Cherry, cherry, cherry.
Cherry, cherry, cherry, Cherry.
Cherry.
Cherry! Cherry.
It's a cherry.
Give it to me, give it to me.
Cherry, cherry, cherry, cherry, cherry.
[GRUNTS.]
How is that even possible? - Wait, no! - [ELECTRICITY SPARKING.]
[GROANS.]
Starboard fan blades just disintegrated.
We're not gonna make it to the water.
- Barry, what happened? - Well, she's playing the slots, and, um, I cuffed myself.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, honey.
Yeah, no, I know.
We need to get 'em off.
They're dampening my powers.
[ELECTRICITY SPARKING.]
Yes, yes, yes.
I'm trying.
The hydrogen particle hatch.
We need to seal it.
There you go.
Cherry bang bang.
Cherry bang bang, cherry.
Cherry bang bang, cherry.
- [CHEERY JINGLE.]
- Cherry bang bang! - That's two cherries.
- Come on.
Hey, look.
It's the Flash.

No, no, hey.
There's no fire.
There's not a fire! Someone set off the alarm.
Calm down! - Babe, you okay? - I think so.
- [SCREAMS.]
- Damn it, out back.
- Out back, out back.
Be careful.
- Okay, okay.
One minute to activation.
Got it.
- Nope.
- BOTH: Don't got it.
That just opened up the electron hatch.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING.]
Yes, I am on fire.
I know.
- [SCREAMS.]
- There's no fire! [GRUNTS.]
Come on.
Come on, cherry pop.
Cherry pop, cherry.
Cherry pop, cherry.

Damn! [SCREAMS.]
[ELECTRICITY SPARKING.]
Barry, I can't get the cuffs off.
Now we got a sign to get off of me, too.
Cherry number three, pop cherry, pop.
Brace, brace, brace! - 30 seconds to activation.
- Nope, nope.
What are you doing? Come on.
No, wait.
Wait.
Let it go.
What? - Let the accelerator turn on.
- Harry Let the accelerator turn on.
Trust me.
- Ten seconds to activation.
- This is it.
Last one.
Five, four, three, two Here we go.

Cherry pop, cherry.
Ah! [RUMBLING.]

No.

I lost? [ELECTRIC RUMBLING.]
[ENGINE ROARING.]
The starboard thrusts are alive.
- We're gonna make it.
- Good.
What just happened? [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
The hydrogen electron collision released a charge that temporarily negated Hazard's quantum field.
We did it.
You did it.
How did you know to do that? Lucky guess.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]
[WHOOSHING.]
[GASPS.]
Okay.
Hi.
- Hi.
- Um, is there, like, any chance that you're not gonna arrest me? No? I understand.
- Come on.
- Sure.
- Ow! - Okay.
- Okay.
Yep.
- Right this way.
[SOFT MUSIC.]
[KNOCKS.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Ramon I owe you an apology.
Okay.
- No, that was it.
- Okay, all right.
How about something like "I'm sorry for blaming everything on you?" Or, "I'm sorry for 'cursing at' you.
" Yeah, that's good.
That's good, that yeah.
Pretend I said that.
Guess I'll take it where I can get it.
All right.
Good talk.
- Hey.
- Hmm? You don't have to go back to Earth-2.
- What? - You saved the day.
That's your "Get out of jackass jail free" card.
- Hmm.
- Plus, you're family.
You'll always have a home here.
Thank you, I I appreciate the sentiment.
It's just that - This is not my world.
- Oh, and Earth-2 is? Did you make a bunch of friends there that I don't know about? What, are they all tall, brooding dudes with bad haircuts? [SCOFFS.]
I have I have colleagues.
Work colleagues.
And, uh - Some of them I don't dislike.
- Exactly my point.
You've spent so much time worrying about Jesse and talking to dead people that you've never even stopped to make a life for yourself.
What are you saying, Ramon? Are you literally saying I don't have a life? That's exactly what I'm saying.
You don't have a life.
But you can make one.
With us, right here.
We'll help you.
'Cause God knows you're gonna need that help.
[CHUCKLES.]
- I don't think so.
- I don't think so, either.
Becky is locked up in the meta wing at Iron Heights.
Something tells me our bad luck streak - has come to an end.
- Good.
We can't afford to blow this place up a third time.
So, look at these heat scans taken from the satellite.
This is three weeks ago.
It's a Central City bus? - That's the bus? - That's the bus.
Each of these heat scans indicates a human body.
12 markers, 12 metas.
Now that we know how many there are, we won't have to wait for them to come to us.
We can go right to them.
- Well, two down.
- Yep.
- We got this.
- Yeah, you do.
What's wrong, Wally? You guys tell me.
I mean the city was about to blow up.
No one realized I wasn't here.
- Where did you go, Wall? - I went to Earth-2.
I had to talk to Jesse.
Hear it from her.
She told me she needs to focus on herself, and I get it.
And I think I have to do the same, right? So I'm leaving Central City.
Where where are you going? I'm gonna go stay with a friend in Blue Valley for a while.
Every hero has their own journey.
If yours is taking you on a new path, you owe it to yourself to go.
Yeah.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC.]
Good luck.
- Kid Flash.
- [LAUGHS.]
I don't want anything more than for you to find what you're looking for.
But I've I've spent so much time without you in my life.
I don't want to lose you.
You'll never lose me, Dad.
Plus, I'm a speedster.
You need me, and I'll come running.
- Love you, son.
- Yeah.
Love you.
You sure? Yeah.
Well, don't forget, Central City will always be the home of Kid Flash.
I won't.
- Don't be a stranger.
- I won't.
- I love you.
- I love you more.
Okay.
West leaves, Allen returns.
West leaves.
Move, counter move.
What's your point? Simply that a mysterious stranger comes to town, seeks out the Flash Causes us to open the Speed Force.
Which causes the creation of a dozen new metas.
- Right.
- Hold on.
You think the guy behind the Samurai Robot - Samuroid.
- You think he wanted us to create a busload of metas? I think it's all connected.
Why would anyone want to create metas? I don't know.
Whoever they are, they've got a seriously warped way of thinking.
[ELECTRONIC HUMMING.]
They identified the targets sooner than we planned.
Perhaps they're smarter than you gave them credit.
[WHIRRING.]
Perhaps.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
But I'm smarter.
Oh! Just when I thought it was safe to get back in the house.
Hi.
I may not be a Craftsman expert such as yourself, but I can handle plastering a couple of holes in the wall.
Baby, you didn't have to You didn't have to do this.
Oh, this is our home, and it is a disaster zone right now, so I am doing my part - to fix it up.
- Well, I appreciate that.
- Mm.
- Mm.
[LAUGHS.]
But, little Cecile - you were right.
- Hmm? It's time for me to let this place go.
I It took me a minute to get there.
I'm not good with change.
You know that.
But once I did, I realized that whatever house I'm in with you, I'm gonna love.
So we might as well get one with a dishwasher.
- [LAUGHS.]
- And a Jacuzzi.
[GASPS.]
Jacuzzi.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh.
- [LAUGHS.]
- I love you.
I love you.
- Funny thing, babe.
- Hmm? I've actually had a change of heart.
- What? - Mm-hmm.
You want to stay? Really? - Yeah.
- [LAUGHS.]
You told me that you couldn't have asked for a better place to raise your kids, and it made me look at this house with new eyes.
Mm.
Especially after I found out [CLEARS THROAT.]
Joe I'm pregnant.
Joe? Joe?
And do you two want to know the best part? I wasn't the only one.
- Iris West, will you marry me? - Yes.
- This isn't good-bye.
- No.

What do we do now? We find the others.

It's Becky with a Y, not, um, an I-E, or an E-E, just Y.

Ow! Okay.
Or as she writes on her Myspace page, "I am jinxed.
" [GASPS.]
[SCREAMS.]
Great! There goes another car.
It's fine.
I'm fine.
Subject's low self-esteem suggests she will be easily manipulated.

If the pipes in the house weren't making this weird, annoying sound, I would have just actually had you all over for dinner.
Squeaky pipes at the West house.
- What a surprise.

Really? You're familiar with this sound? - [CHUCKLES.]
- Oh, yeah.
You mean the [MIMICS CREAKING NOISES.]

Oh, my gosh.
They broke up.
The Wexler-Waclawiks broke up.
- For real? - Yes.
- Hell yeah.
- Yes! Uh, who are the Wexler-Wa-claws-wilix, and why are we happy that their love is dead? They're a couple that were getting married at the Propizio the weekend of the 2nd.
Which means now the venue is open.
That's amazing.
What good luck.

Let me just Okay.

Just let me - [CLEARS THROAT.]
- Okay, so Hey, Wally.
It's me.
Good to see you.
So, I've, um I've been doing some thinking.
- And - [STATIC INTERFERENCE.]
You know, we've both been so busy - You and Earth - [STATIC INTERFERENCE.]
Stupid hologram.
You know, it's that darn Atlantean plastic.
It's really shoddy workmanship.
- Sorry about this.
- What is what is this thing? Break Breakup cube.
You don't have breakup cubes on your Earth? Oh, that's not good.
Okay.
Okay.
A breakup cube is, uh Kind of what it sounds like.
You know, you record a message for the person you want to The person, and you, uh, pick a music setting, and then there's a tissue that pops out if you need that.
You know, a breakup cube.
Jesse's breaking up with me with a cube? Seems like a really convenient way to break somebody's heart.
Exactly.
What did she say in the message? You know, you heard.
You you're a great guy I don't remember.
Don't you have total recall? Yeah no, no.
Don't I did.
I don't.
I did, but I don't.
Come on, don't make me She you heard.
She said that you're a great, great guy and that she was busy on our Earth, and that you're busy here filling in for You know [MIMICS WHOOSHING SOUND.]
On this Earth, and she just felt that you guys were a little out of sync.
You know, and that she thought she needed some time, you know, to work on her stuff.
You know, it's not you, it's me.
Not me.
Her, me.
Her, not me.
Her.
And and she said, you know, "I'll never forget you, Wally West, because you're amazing," and then, uh, that you were her [CLEARS THROAT.]

Not important.
So but he's tough.
You don't need that, right? You're a tough guy.

I don't blame him.

I'm sorry, I don't know why the app crashed.

I know the way you've treated Other guys you've been with Luck be a lady with me Aww, you waited for me.
[GASPS.]
- I see her.
- She's getting away in a Prius.
Last time I checked, the Flash is faster than a Prius.
Luck be a lady Tonight What the hell? That's the least secure security footage I've ever seen.
Yeah, that's not even the strangest thing she made happen.
I mean, I slipped on a barrel of marbles.
It was like I was in a cartoon.
That's some seriously bad luck.
Yeah, there's no such thing as luck.
Yeah? Tell that to my cousin Hector.
He got jinxed by an ex.
Hasn't been able to find a mall parking spot for three years.
Hey, so we ran the sketches you made us through the CCP database, and Her name's Becky Sharpe.
She's 24 years old, no priors.
No priors? Then why is she in the database? Because in the last three years she's lived in Central City, she's been rear-ended four times, her identity stolen twice A cat burglar literally burgled her cat.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Okay, you see, Harry? That is bad juju.
Okay, Ramon, what you call juju, I call quantum entanglement.
Discrete quantum particles are connected, and when triggered, they simulate a synchronicity that, to the untrained eye To the common eye Could seem like luck.
So if Becky can affect the particles around her in a positive way, then their connected particles start spinning negatively.
So when good things happen to her, bad things happen all around her.
Great, she's got a good luck field.
- She's a meta.
- Well, except she can't be.
I mean, she's only been in Central City for three years.
Yeah, so there's no way she was affected by the particle accelerator explosion.
Well, neither was Kilgore.
We saw firsthand what he could do.
Not to sound like a broken record, but where the hell are all these new metas coming from? You know what? Maybe the scanners in the suit picked something up.
You said you took all the tech out.
Okay, well, I left something in.
Okay? Sue me.
Wow.
Cecile needs me at the house.
You guys let me know what you find out, all right? All right.
- There.
- Yeah, I-I see it, okay? Yeah, the suit definitely registered trace amounts of dark matter on Becky.
So if there was another dark matter incident We need to figure out how and where it happened, ASAP.
I'll calibrate your satellite to scan for the same dark matter found in the suit.
- Uh, no, you won't.
- Yeah, I will.
Don't touch the sat Don't touch the satellite! - I'll be touching it.
- Don't! - [PHONE BUZZES.]
- Oh! Um, something just arrived for me at the loft.
I gotta go.
What? You called the plumber.
Joe West, I cannot keep living with that sound.
You know, this house is, uh - Bitchin'? - No.
It's in need of some work.
In my certified opinion, you need all new piping.
Now, it'll set you back 15 thou.
- Hmm.
- Oh! O-okay.
Thank you so much.
You've, uh you've given us a lot to think about.
And I mean a whole lot.
[SIGHS.]
15 thou.
My great uncle paid less for this whole place.
I guess I'm gonna have to break open the piggybank.
Or, you know, we could take that 15.
We could put it towards a down payment on something new.
Ooh.
You're suggesting that we sell my house? Babe, I'm just saying, you know, this is This is a really big place for a couple of empty nesters like us, and there's always gonna be something that's gonna need replacing.
Let me think about it, okay? Mm-hmm.
Think about it.
[SOFTLY.]
Think about it.
- I'll think about it.
- Mm-hmm, think about it.
- [WHOOSHING.]
- Barry! Oh, my God.
Turn around! - I did! - Did you see? - No, I didn't see.
- You saw! I did see.
But just for a second.
Which is like an eternity for a speedster.
You know it's bad luck to see a bride in her dress before the wedding day.
Too late.
What happened? Um, the Propizio called.
We're not gonna be able to have our wedding there.
What? Why? Well, um, the villa burned down.
I guess a crème brûlée competition got a little heated.
Okay, well, thankfully we have our backup.
No, another couple booked it this morning.
[SIGHS.]
It's okay, though.
It's okay.
If we can stop evil time-traveling speedsters from destroying the planet, we can find a wedding venue.
Barry, our wedding is in six weeks.
It'll work out.
Okay? I would marry you anytime, anywhere.
[SOFT MUSIC.]
[SIGHS.]
Ah, Kobe beef.
My favorite.
[GIGGLES.]
Becky.
What are the chances I'd run into you? Is this your secretary? Funny, you said she was haggard.
- No, I I never said - I'll get that for you.
Whoa, whoa! [GRUNTS.]
[SCREAMING.]
I don't understand.
Your plan revolves around this dolt? What's wrong with all of you? Who makes soup so hot? [BEEPING.]
As lusterless as Rebecca is, she may be the most formidable of them all.
Then why don't we get her now? The capricious nature of her powers warrants further observation.
[SIGHS.]
[BEEPING.]
[SCREAMING.]
Oh, man, are those live lobsters? - Give me that.
You're not - Stop hovering, okay? - You're not holding it right.
- I know how to read - a dark matter scan, Harry.
- Well, not from where I sit, - you don't.
- Oh yeah, good one.
Don't you have somewhere else to be, like breaking another speedster's heart? Sorry I'm late.
Iris and I just lost two wedding venues in less than 24 hours.
- Ah, bad juju.
- Give me that, okay? Test, all right.
Here we go.
And adjust.
[SCANNER BEEPING.]
- Sorry.
- Ah, sorry.
Here, here.
Right here.
This is where Becky Sharpe was exposed to Dark Matter.
- Here? - Yes.
It can't be.
This is the middle of the street.
It's not even an interesting one.
My scans are accurate.
- Your scans are accurate? - My scans are accurate! Explain how there's nothing within miles of here capable of even creating dark matter.
There was three weeks ago.
[RUMBLING.]
This is where I came out of the Speed Force.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING.]
No, it isn't.
You came out in Ivy City.
No, I ran there after.
But I remember now.
This is where I came out.
This is where the portal opened.
And a wave of dark matter washed out with you.
I can only imagine how many meta-humans you created.
[ENGINE RUMBLES.]
My best guess? A busload.
We did it? We brought dark matter into Central City? When you pulled me out of the Speed Force, yeah.
All the people on that bus, we turned them into metas.
Every time we try to do something right, - it goes horribly wrong.
- We're cursed.
Maybe we should burn some sage.
- Guys, we're not cursed.
- You're not cursed.
- You should be cursed at.
- Okay, why should we - be "cursed at"? - You should be cursed at because you opened the Speed Force - without consulting me.
- Okay, I don't think - we need to rehash - [ALL EXCLAIMING.]
- All right.
- Okay, I did consult you, and you're the one who gave me the calculations - in the first place.
- Yeah, I told you not to use them without consulting me.
I said, "Ramon, don't use the calculations without consulting me.
" - Guys.
- Yeah, yeah, I heard you.
- I didn't see the need for that.
- And that's why - you should be cursed at.
- What does that even mean? What does it mean? It means you're a Okay, you know what? This is exactly why we didn't contact you, 'cause the last thing we need around here is more of your salty-ass attitude.
If you don't need my salty attitude, then maybe you should carry on without me.
I'll let myself out.
Oh, are you going back to your Earth? I'll breach you there right now.
"I'll breach you there right now!" - That's not what I sound like.
- That was really high.
Listen, Cisco, I know Harry could stand to work on his bedside manner, but You know what? We don't need him.
What we need is to focus on catching this meta.
- Am I right? - Yeah, you're right.
But Becky doesn't seem like one of our typical villains.
I think if we could track her down, maybe we could get through to her.
- [PHONE BUZZING.]
- Hey, Cecile.
What? I'm on my way.
I need you to run me to the house.
You said you never wanted I need you to run me to the house.
Yes, sir.
[WHOOSHING.]
[WATER DRIPPING.]
- Oh.
- What happened? [SIGHS.]
The ceiling went from clanking to howling, and then it just started pouring all this stuff down.
- Yeah.
- We need to turn the water off, stat.
Yeah.
So, the water valve is in the crawl space.
Um, don't ever go into the crawl space.
I hear you, loud and clear.
Barry, thank you very much for your help.
I'm gonna go check upstairs.
Man, why is this happening? That girl jinx us? No, no.
Nobody jinxed us.
This house is just what's another word for "old"? - Vintage.
- Vintage.
Cecile thinks I should sell it.
Yeah? What do you think? I think she's got a point.
Life would be a hell of a lot easier in a brand-new house.
- Sounds like an easy decision.
- It should be.
But this house has got one thing no other house will ever have.
[CHUCKLES.]
Remember I'd measure you kids at every birthday? Yeah.
I outgrew Iris at 12.
She kept saying she'd catch up.
All my memories of you kids are tied into these walls.
How can I give that up? Well, you don't have to give that up, Joe.
We'll always have those memories, no matter where you live.
Trust me.
When I came to live here after my mom died, I learned that it doesn't matter where you live.
Only matters that you have people that love you.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Hold on.
What's up? Great.
Okay, I'll go there now.
Thank you.
We're not jinxed.
If we were, Cisco wouldn't have found Becky.
She is at Jitters.
I'm going there now.
[WHOOSHING.]
Winner, winner! Another winner.
Becky? Hi, you mind if I sit here? Oh, today's my lucky day, but you're not my type at all.
- Can I sit? - Um Um, Becky, well, you're probably wondering how I know your name.
Mm, it's written on my cup.
Right, um, yeah, but that's not how I You see, I work for the CCPD as a CSI.
I investigate very special people.
- Celebrities? - No, not celebrities.
- Um, meta-humans.
- Oh.
Which is what I think you are.
[SCOFFS.]
See, I think you were exposed to dark matter on a city bus - three weeks ago.
- [SCOFFS.]
I think I would know if I was exposed to dark matter.
That's weird.
Becky, I know you've been having a lot of luck lately.
- [EXHALES.]
- And that you took some money from a Central City bank that doesn't belong to you.
- How do you know all that? - I just do.
Look, getting powers is overwhelming.
I'm sure you don't know how they work or what you should do with them.
I have some idea.
Uh-uh-uh.
Do you really want to test your luck? Bad things happen to people that get in my way.
[STEAM WHISTLING.]
[INTENSE MUSIC.]
Listen, CSI guy.
My entire life has been one piece of crummy luck after the next.
Look, we all have ups and downs in life.
Oh, not Becky Sharpe.
I have only ever been dealt bad hands.
But I knew one day the universe would see it made a mistake.
And then I'd have the run of the table.
I got on that bus, and Lady Luck smiled on me.
Becky, this isn't some higher power fixing a miscalculation.
You have powers, and they're affecting everyone around you, making them feel as awful as you used to feel.
I'm sorry about that, but maybe it's just their turn.
Maybe for once, everyone else can feel for a second how bad I felt my entire life.
Anyway, there is nothing you can do to stop me.
[STEAM HISSING.]
[BABY CRYING.]
[TOOL CLICKING.]
Toodles.
So what are we gonna do? I don't know.
I mean, I'm not sure yet.
I can't get close enough to her without triggering bad luck.
Seriously, that girl's a hazard.
- Hazard, that's the one.

Maybe that means the jinx is gone.
Her powers only work in her immediate vicinity.
She didn't jinx us.
And the house is still falling to pieces.
It's been falling apart for years, just, like, really slowly.
Well, plus, Jesse dumped me, too.
I I know, dude.
And, you know, that sucks.
And we're up against a meta we can't even touch.
And we're the ones who made her in the first place.
Guys, do you have any idea how ridiculous you all sound? We have not been jinxed.
Or cursed, all right? We make our own luck, right? So what do you say we focus and we figure this out? [PHONE BUZZING.]
Hey, Iris.
You're where? [ORGAN MUSIC.]
Oh, come on.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Why did you want me to put on a shirt - and meet you at a funeral? - No, no, no.
I wanted you to meet me at this church.
- What? - We're getting married.
- Here, put this on.
- Excuse me? Barry, we've had the worst luck, okay? From the Dominators to Savitar to gorillas and now these bus metas.
And on top of everything else, now we're cursed.
- Iris, we're not cursed.
- Barry, look.
You said that you would marry me anytime, anyplace.
- Well, this is - Right? And I just feel like if we don't get married now, - it's never gonna happen.
- That's not true, okay? - I mean - Oh, it's our turn.
Our turn.
Go, go, go, go, go.
- Sorry, sorry.
- Sorry, excuse me.
Beautiful service.
- So sorry.
- I love this coffin.
- Is that cedar? - Hey, let's come on.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Can I help you? - Uh, yes.
Uh, we would like to get married.
- Yes, we would.
- Oh.
- Right now.
- Oh.
Well, would you give us a moment to, uh, reset the altar? Oh, no, no, that won't be necessary.
Look, we'll just watch.
Watch.
- Okay.
- We'll just Okay.
[CHUCKLES.]
She's excited.
Sorry.
Flip that around.
Yeah, probably shouldn't have done that.
I know, it's fine.
Okay.
We are here today to join, um - That's you.
- Me? Bartholomew Henry Allen.
- And - Iris Ann West.
In holy matrimony.
[COUGHS.]
- Excuse me.
- You okay? Thank you.
[COUGHS.]
- Whoa! - Oh, my God.
- Jameson! Oh! - [HACKING COUGH.]
Kevin, did you use the cinnamon incense? You know he's allergic to it.
Shame on you.
I don't know if we need to shame the little boy, but No, you're fine.
You're fine.
Walk it off.
- Father - [COUGHING.]
- It's fine.
- That did not just happen.
You know, it was a very nice funeral.
Really, Barry? [PLAYFUL MUSIC.]
Ahh! Ow! [LAUGHING.]
That was golden.
Don't shoot, okay? I'm here to apologize.
I know you're trying to help us fix our own colossal screw up.
- Yeah, like always.
- Yeah, I know.
I mean, I actually thought you'd be at home by now, but here you are working away.
Well things are a little complicated on Earth-2.
Oh.
Everything okay with Jesse? Yes.
I mean, yes.
If you must know, I spent the summer assembling a support staff for her, so Oh, like a Team Quick? - No.
- Team Jesse.
- No.
- Jesse and the Quicksters.
- They're not called that.
- Well, they should be.
That sounds like an awesome team.
It is an awesome team, because I assembled it.
But then, Jesse goes and kicks me off the team, all right? Apparently I'm too much like me, whatever that means.
I push too hard.
You know, too many tests.
Too many training sessions.
You know, I don't allow the team enough time for their personal bonding.
I don't understand millennials.
Anyway.
They took a vote.
I'm out.
I don't even have a home to return to now.
I can't even go back to my own Earth.
I'm sure you can empathize, right, Ramon? Because you know what I'm like.
Well, you know what? We'll handle Sharpe, and then I'll be out of your hair.
[SIGHS.]
[ALARM BEEPING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Guys, there are low probability events happening - all over the city.
- Becky's quantum field - is expanding.
- Okay, that's not possiblsi Yeah, no, her powers are localized.
Not anymore.
Babe, you in there? The door's jammed.
One sec.
[SIGHS.]
[WATER DRIPPING.]
[SCREAMS.]
Guys, the quantum field is getting higher.
My pals said you were bad luck, sir, but I figure, what are the odds a pilot has a goose fly into his engine twice? [GOOSE HONKING.]
- Bird strike.
- [ALARMS BLARING.]
Mayday, this is Flight 512 to tower.
Lost an engine and are coming down.
When did Hazard get so powerful? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so The more good luck she experiences, the more bad luck she spreads.
She must be experiencing an extreme level of good luck for her quantum field to be expanding like this.
- Where is she now? - She went back to work.
[TOGETHER.]
Snake eyes! - For the 37th time.
- [CHEERING.]
Bringing your winnings to 1.
2 BOTH: Million.
[LAUGHS.]
Give me those babies.
Hi.
Okay.
Here we go.
Oh, come on, Mama.
Guys, if Becky keeps winning, then bad luck will keep spreading.
This could destroy the whole city.
- Okay, keep calm, all right? - Keep calm.
Nothing's going wrong here.
[LOUD WHIRRING.]
Guys, the particle accelerator turned back on.
It's gonna explode.
Four minutes to particle accelerator activation.
Harry, Cisco, status report.
The generators turned themselves on.
We got to shut 'em down.
[GRUNTS.]
[ENGINE SPUTTERING.]
Flight 512 to tower, we are attempting a water landing.
Cecile! [HANDLE CLATTERS TO GROUND.]
Damn it.
[INTENSE MUSIC.]
[COINS CLINKING.]
Barry, you've got to find Hazard.
I'm almost at the casino.
Hazard's quantum field is increasing.
- How much worse can it get? - Hello, my old friend.
Let's keep this winning streak going, shall we? [CHEERY ELECTRONIC BEEPING.]
Yes.
Okay, Cherry.
Here we go, cherry.
Cherry, cherry, cherry.
Cherry, cherry, cherry, Cherry.
Cherry.
Cherry! Cherry.
It's a cherry.
Give it to me, give it to me.
Cherry, cherry, cherry, cherry, cherry.
[GRUNTS.]
How is that even possible? - Wait, no! - [ELECTRICITY SPARKING.]
[GROANS.]
Starboard fan blades just disintegrated.
We're not gonna make it to the water.
- Barry, what happened? - Well, she's playing the slots, and, um, I cuffed myself.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, honey.
Yeah, no, I know.
We need to get 'em off.
They're dampening my powers.
[ELECTRICITY SPARKING.]
Yes, yes, yes.
I'm trying.
The hydrogen particle hatch.
We need to seal it.
There you go.
Cherry bang bang.
Cherry bang bang, cherry.
Cherry bang bang, cherry.
- [CHEERY JINGLE.]
- Cherry bang bang! - That's two cherries.
- Come on.
Hey, look.
It's the Flash.
- [GRUNTS.]
- [ALARM BLARES.]
No, no, hey.
There's no fire.
There's not a fire! Someone set off the alarm.
Calm down! - Babe, you okay? - I think so.
- [SCREAMS.]
- Damn it, out back.
- Out back, out back.
Be careful.
- Okay, okay.
One minute to activation.
Got it.
- Nope.
- BOTH: Don't got it.
That just opened up the electron hatch.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING.]
Yes, I am on fire.
I know.
- [SCREAMS.]
- There's no fire! [GRUNTS.]
Come on.
Come on, cherry pop.
Cherry pop, cherry.
Cherry pop, cherry.
[BOTH SCREAM.]
Damn! [SCREAMS.]
[ELECTRICITY SPARKING.]
Barry, I can't get the cuffs off.
Now we got a sign to get off of me, too.
Cherry number three, pop cherry, pop.
Brace, brace, brace! - 30 seconds to activation.
- Nope, nope.
What are you doing? Come on.
No, wait.
Wait.
Let it go.
What? - Let the accelerator turn on.
- Harry Let the accelerator turn on.
Trust me.
- Ten seconds to activation.
- This is it.
Last one.
Five, four, three, two Here we go.
[EXPLOSION.]
Cherry pop, cherry.
Ah! [RUMBLING.]
[DULL BEEP.]
No.
What? Star? No, I I don't understand.
I lost? [ELECTRIC RUMBLING.]
[ENGINE ROARING.]
The starboard thrusts are alive.
- We're gonna make it.
- Good.
What just happened? [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
The hydrogen electron collision released a charge that temporarily negated Hazard's quantum field.
We did it.
You did it.
How did you know to do that? Lucky guess.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]
[WHOOSHING.]
[GASPS.]
Okay.
Hi.
- Hi.
- Um, is there, like, any chance that you're not gonna arrest me? No? I understand.
- Come on.
- Sure.
- Ow! - Okay.
- Okay.
Yep.
- Right this way.
[SOFT MUSIC.]
[KNOCKS.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Ramon I owe you an apology.
Okay.
- No, that was it.
- Okay, all right.
How about something like "I'm sorry for blaming everything on you?" Or, "I'm sorry for 'cursing at' you.
" Yeah, that's good.
That's good, that yeah.
Pretend I said that.
Guess I'll take it where I can get it.
All right.
Good talk.
- Hey.
- Hmm? You don't have to go back to Earth-2.
- What? - You saved the day.
That's your "Get out of jackass jail free" card.
- Hmm.
- Plus, you're family.
You'll always have a home here.
Thank you, I I appreciate the sentiment.
It's just that - This is not my world.
- Oh, and Earth-2 is? Did you make a bunch of friends there that I don't know about? What, are they all tall, brooding dudes with bad haircuts? [SCOFFS.]
I have I have colleagues.
Work colleagues.
And, uh - Some of them I don't dislike.
- Exactly my point.
You've spent so much time worrying about Jesse and talking to dead people that you've never even stopped to make a life for yourself.
What are you saying, Ramon? Are you literally saying I don't have a life? That's exactly what I'm saying.
You don't have a life.
But you can make one.
With us, right here.
We'll help you.
'Cause God knows you're gonna need that help.
[CHUCKLES.]
- I don't think so.
- I don't think so, either.
Becky is locked up in the meta wing at Iron Heights.
Something tells me our bad luck streak - has come to an end.
- Good.
We can't afford to blow this place up a third time.
So, look at these heat scans taken from the satellite.
This is three weeks ago.
It's a Central City bus? - That's the bus? - That's the bus.
Each of these heat scans indicates a human body.
12 markers, 12 metas.
Now that we know how many there are, we won't have to wait for them to come to us.
We can go right to them.
- Well, two down.
- Yep.
- We got this.
- Yeah, you do.
What's wrong, Wally? You guys tell me.
I mean the city was about to blow up.
No one realized I wasn't here.
- Where did you go, Wall? - I went to Earth-2.
I had to talk to Jesse.
Hear it from her.
She told me she needs to focus on herself, and I get it.
And I think I have to do the same, right? So I'm leaving Central City.
Where where are you going? I'm gonna go stay with a friend in Blue Valley for a while.
Every hero has their own journey.
If yours is taking you on a new path, you owe it to yourself to go.
Yeah.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC.]
Good luck.
- Kid Flash.
- [LAUGHS.]
I don't want anything more than for you to find what you're looking for.
But I've I've spent so much time without you in my life.
I don't want to lose you.
You'll never lose me, Dad.
Plus, I'm a speedster.
You need me, and I'll come running.
- Love you, son.
- Yeah.
Love you.
You sure? Yeah.
Well, don't forget, Central City will always be the home of Kid Flash.
I won't.
- Don't be a stranger.
- I won't.
- I love you.
- I love you more.
Okay.
West leaves, Allen returns.
West leaves.
Move, counter move.
What's your point? Simply that a mysterious stranger comes to town, seeks out the Flash Causes us to open the Speed Force.
Which causes the creation of a dozen new metas.
- Right.
- Hold on.
You think the guy behind the Samurai Robot - Samuroid.
- You think he wanted us to create a busload of metas? I think it's all connected.
Why would anyone want to create metas? I don't know.
Whoever they are, they've got a seriously warped way of thinking.
[ELECTRONIC HUMMING.]
They identified the targets sooner than we planned.
Perhaps they're smarter than you gave them credit.
[WHIRRING.]
Perhaps.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
But I'm smarter.
Oh! Just when I thought it was safe to get back in the house.
Hi.
I may not be a Craftsman expert such as yourself, but I can handle plastering a couple of holes in the wall.
Baby, you didn't have to You didn't have to do this.
Oh, this is our home, and it is a disaster zone right now, so I am doing my part - to fix it up.
- Well, I appreciate that.
- Mm.
- Mm.
[LAUGHS.]
But, little Cecile - you were right.
- Hmm? It's time for me to let this place go.
I It took me a minute to get there.
I'm not good with change.
You know that.
But once I did, I realized that whatever house I'm in with you, I'm gonna love.
So we might as well get one with a dishwasher.
- [LAUGHS.]
- And a Jacuzzi.
[GASPS.]
Jacuzzi.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh.
- [LAUGHS.]
- I love you.
I love you.
- Funny thing, babe.
- Hmm? I've actually had a change of heart.
- What? - Mm-hmm.
You want to stay? Really? - Yeah.
- [LAUGHS.]
You told me that you couldn't have asked for a better place to raise your kids, and it made me look at this house with new eyes.
Mm.
Especially after I found out [CLEARS THROAT.]
Joe I'm pregnant.
Joe? Joe?
