This whole thing is going to be awesome, awesome, awesome.
I'm telling you,
Operation: Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving
is going to be one memorable shindig... I can feel it.
Yeah, and from what you told me,
it sounds like it's going to be
way better than the first time Barry turned 30.
Oh, yeah, that time Team Flash
spent the whole night fighting Cicada.
Well, thanks to Dr. Orloff's gamma ray,
Barry's got a second crack at it,
'cause on a cellular level, he's still just 29.
Hey, what happened?
My readings are saying that you're...
Better than ever.
Okay, so as far as everything else goes,
I mean, I think we're good.
Chester, you are still in charge of entertainment.
Allegra, you and I have already done all the decorating.
Khione is picking up the cake, so...
Do you guys think he's going to be surprised?
He better be.
Okay, I just need to grab my laptop.
All: Surprise!
Wally, Dig...
You guys got me.
Come here, man.
- Happy birthday. - Thanks. Good to see you.
May your current rotation around the sun
- be your best yet. - Okay.
Thank you. Guys!
- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans - -- www.Addic7ed.com --
Yo, party people, let's get wild!
It's got dried sendru and honey.
It'll be good for your morning sickness, I hope,
and it tastes delicious.
- Okay, cheers. - Cheers.
- Mmm. - Oh, yeah?
- Barry, you have to try this. - Oh, yeah?
Excuse us. Barry, happy birthday.
Can you settle something for us?
Sure.
See, I think I was a better CCPD captain
- because I'm not a meta-human. - Oh.
It keeps me objective.
Chief, having meta-abilities gives me
a better understanding of what meta-criminals go through
and how they're thinking.
Being human implies I'm treating
meta-criminals and non-meta-criminals equally.
Actually, it implies you're more biased
because non-metas set up the system in the first place.
What do you think?
Um, that...
Central City is lucky to have you both.
Okay, okay, do you guys mind if I borrow the man
of the hour for a moment?
I have a special gift for him.
How does it feel being 30 all over again?
Unreal, I guess.
Because it's special, Barry, which means it
requires a special gift.
- Dig, I... - No, no, please, open it.
We thought we lost it when Earth-38 was destroyed.
But A.R.G.U.S. Found it in National City.
It's hard to believe it's been three years, right?
Sometimes I'll be at the grocery store, man,
or with my kids, and, uh...
grief will hit me all over again.
Yeah.
It's hard.
We don't get the chance to say goodbye to someone.
I'm sorry to hear about Caitlin,
losing her so soon after Frost.
Eh, having Khione's helped.
But something about it all still just doesn't feel right.
That's why I-I can't accept this.
Barry, Oliver would have wanted you to have this.
I'm sorry, Dig.
Maybe we should just display it in the hall.
Does Khione need help with the cake?
Oh, she said there's a huge line at the bakery.
So I figured, while we're waiting,
I might as well give you this.
You know it's not my birthday, right?
It's just a little something that I made you
for our one-month anniversary.
It's beautiful.
And it's not just for show.
I know you've been worried about the "light meta" buzz,
so I designed this to conceal your identity.
It's got a facial transmogrifier inside it.
This way, you can concentrate on using
all your powers to kick ass
and not on trying to hide your face.
Thanks. That'll come in handy.
Plus, now got a little piece of me
keeping you safe out there.
I love it.
And I love you, too.
♪ Yo, I'll tell you what I want ♪
♪ What I really, really want ♪
♪ Yo, tell me what you want, what you really, really want ♪
♪ I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want ♪
♪ Yo, tell me what you want, what you really, really want ♪
That's a hit.
♪ I wanna, I wanna, I wanna ♪
♪ I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazag, ah ♪
You know there's a whole party
going on in there, right?
- I just needed some air. - Hmm.
Hey, thanks for coming all the way for this.
How are the Himalayas?
Well, Bakinimal has been helping me a lot
with my journey to enlightenment, which is good.
Um, but when Iris told me about the Red Death,
it kind of gave me an idea.
You know how I can project my consciousness
into the Speed Force?
Well, I've been doing it to find alternate timelines.
What for?
Since there are other timelines,
there's probably another me out there
who has already achieved enlightenment
- and could help me find it, too. - Wow.
I mean, you already seem so in touch with yourself.
- Can't you do it on your own? - I wish it was that simple.
Um, true awakening requires a deep examination of the self.
And when you have baggage like I do, it's just...
It can hold you back.
What baggage?
I just... I thought the whole point of you going to Tibet
was to deal with things from your past.
Just forget it.
Happy birthday.
Sparkling cider
- for the hostess. - Mm.
- Champagne for the birthday boy. - Thank you.
Okay, everybody, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting.
Please, raise a glass for the birthday boy.
- Oh. - Happy birthday.
- Cheers. - Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday, Barry. - Speech.
- All: Speech. - Speech, speech, speech.
I mean, what can I say, except, um, I feel
really lucky to have the best friends
and family in the world.
So here's to you guys.
I love you all.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Cheers.
Chester, this cider tastes a little expired.
- It's not just the cider. - I don't feel so good.
Yeah, me neither.
Everybody stop drinking now.
Iris, hey.
Barry, what is happening?
Quite the festivities, Mr. Allen.
My invitation must have been lost in the mail.
I hope you don't mind me crashing your party.
Why all the sour faces?
Don't tell me I've missed the cake.
What did you do to them?
Is this how you greet an old friend,
especially one that's just escaped A.R.G.U.S.?
You know, I came right back here
so we could pick up where we left off.
And now I find out you're having a party without me.
Look, I don't know you,
but I know that we can solve this without violence.
Mr. West...
I don't want violence.
I simply wish to save the world.
You don't want to save anyone.
You're a monster who wants to absorb us all
into your sick mind.
Is that such an unfair price to pay for immortality?
You hurt Iris, I will wipe every last one of your cells
off this planet.
Fear not.
Your wife is perfectly safe and healthy,
and she'll stay that way forever,
which means your daughter will never know an orphan's grief.
On the contrary, little Nora West-Allen
would be the first blood baby born into a whole new world.
Your anger means nothing, Barry.
Now, last time, I made you into a blood brother first,
only for your meddlesome team to rise up against me.
But this time, they won't have that chance.
And soon, your meager healing factors will run out, too.
I don't know what you're up to,
but you're not going to get into my head again.
But, Barry...
I already am.
Time to begin the good work.
Someone didn't drink their champagne.
Uh, bro, I'm not really much of a drinker.
That's no fun.
Now I'm going to have to bring the party to you.
Sweet Duane Jones.
Oh, no, frak this.
How fascinating.
You're sharing your oxygen with the embryo inside you.
And she's sharing her healing factors with you.
- We're going to stop you. - No, you won't.
I've been playing the long game, and you...
have already lost.
Ramsey!
I know you can hear me!
You can't fool me again.
Those visions you showed me last time,
they were lies, made to tempt me!
I never lied to you, Barry.
I just showed you a future where you
had the power to end death.
But you rejected my offer.
And now your friends are dropping like flies.
Nash, Caitlin, Frost... It's quite the list.
- You can't break me again. - I don't need to, Barry.
This time I have a more interesting target in mind,
just as fleet-footed, too, only more perceptive.
Wally.
Son.
Wally?
Mama needs her medicine.
Wally!
Mama needs her medicine. Wally...
I'm sorry, Mr. West.
I thought seeing your childhood home would be comforting,
but I suppose it is rather spartan,
especially compared to Barry's.
Why'd you bring me here?
Because you need a friend, Wallace,
and because we can help each other.
I'd never help you.
But you already have.
You see, the last time I encountered Team Flash,
when I possessed Barry's mind,
I learned what was coming...
A crisis to end the Multiverse.
But I guess it didn't take.
No, you're wrong.
The Multiverse is dead.
I know because I lost Jesse.
She's never coming back.
Tell me something, Wallace.
What did you see out there when you
projected your consciousness...
Alternate timelines...
or other Earths?
Yes, Wallace, you can sense them.
So isn't it possible that there's another Jesse Quick
out there somewhere just waiting
for her Prince Charming to come and find her?
You're trying to trick me,
but you can't tempt me with simple desires.
I know my truth.
And why have you failed in your quest for enlightenment?
I know you've been wrestling with the darkness inside you
and how desperate you are to rid yourself of it.
But you can't, not on your own.
Let me help you.
How, by turning me into a zombie?
No, by unlocking your true potential.
This is your future, Wally West.
You will enlighten the entire world
and all the other worlds yet to be discovered.
All you have to do is choose life.
No, y-you turned everybody I loved into your slave.
That's not choice.
I understand your hesitation.
No one has ever really believed in you, have they?
You have been cut down your entire life,
forced to watch your mother suffer.
It is a pain that I know all too well.
My mother was diagnosed with HLH,
and I couldn't save her either, Wally.
I had to watch her die.
And we have that in common.
Then you understand what it is that I'm trying to do...
That it's about more than just stopping death.
It is about ending the suffering
that we have both endured, that, together, we can create
a Multiverse where no one has to watch
their loved ones die...
ever again.
Okay, okay, just me.
Okay, all your friends are zombies.
But it's, uh... it's okay. It's okay.
You just got to call for help.
Hello? Is anyone there?
Iris?
Oh, I thought you were a zombie.
Little Nora's healing factor...
I-it's holding off the infection for now.
Look, I locked myself in a time vault,
but someone cut the power to the outside comms.
Iris?
Iris, can you hear me?
I've been waiting for you, Chuck.
What, don't you want to give your lover a kiss?
No, no, no, no. You're not Allegra.
You're Ramsey controlling her body.
And what a powerful body it is.
Doing this to people ain't a gift.
What else would you call eternal life?
I'd call it hell on Earth.
You know what? I'll leave you alone.
Unfortunately, the rest of my brothers and sisters
have different plans.
Leave Wally alone.
Don't worry.
I have no intention of harming him.
But if I did, it would be just one more
sacrifice in your name, right?
Sorry.
Is it me, or is the lighting in here a tad too melodramatic?
Can I get a grip or an electrician over here?
What the hell? Where are we?
Language, Barry, it's a family show.
Now you'll have to keep up if we're going to make our day.
After all, you're the star of the show.
Wait, what's... what's happening?
- Okay, ready to try one? - What is this?
What are you doing?
Making you look good, champ.
All right, lock it up.
Hey, man, love your work.
Roll sound.
Mark.
Ready, and action.
Um...
Hi, kids.
I'm the Flash.
Did you know that when a person survives
an event that others didn't,
it can lead to...
feelings of guilt?
That's a Flash fact.
No, I'm not... I'm not doing this.
Cut. That's a cut, everyone.
Frost.
It's okay that she's dead, Barry.
It's more important that you live.
You're the star, right?
No. No, that's not true.
You matter more than the rest of us.
That's why it's okay
that you got those extra years and we didn't.
I didn't want extra time, not without all of you.
Oh, that's lunch.
Wally...
are you okay?
Young Wallace is better than ever.
He and I had a very enlightening conversation.
Listen to me, Wally.
Whatever Ramsey showed you, it's not real.
Shut up, Barry.
Just shut up.
This anger isn't you.
Ramsey's manipulating you, so you'll choose to follow him.
It's the only way he can beat our speed healing
and take over our minds.
He doesn't care about you, Wallace.
He's been living with your father, pawing at your sister,
while you were trapped in that hellhole.
You were living my life.
Wally, I know how hard it was for you growing up.
No, you don't! You don't know anything!
But Joe and Iris didn't even know that you existed.
Keep his name out your mouth. Joe West is my dad, mine.
He's not yours.
But you stole him anyway from me.
You got to have two dads who loved you.
I had nobody, Barry.
You're so selfish.
And you know why?
Because you think that you're the only person that matters.
Wally...
Joe loves you.
And I love you.
Well, I hate you.
Yes!
Oh, Barry, Barry, Barry...
what have you done this time?
No.
No, Ramsey's still messing with my head.
Barry, you need to calm down.
You're not real.
How did I get here?
Wally, he was a blood brother. He attacked me.
He killed me.
Dying is the easy part.
Remember?
- It's really you. - Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Okay, let go.
Barry, let go.
Wait. If you're here, that means I'm really...
You're dead.
Otherwise, why would I let you hug me that long?
But if I'm dead, no one's there to stop them.
Iris, the baby, the... The whole world is in danger.
I know.
But it's not just your world that's in danger.
When I took on the power of the Spectre,
I thought that I was simply creating Earth-Prime.
But I was also making something else...
A new Multiverse to replace the one that had fallen.
But when we fought the Red Death,
she thought she escaped from her timeline
- into an alternate one. - She is from Earth-4125.
You're numbering them?
I've had a bit of time on my hands...
Keeping an eye on threats to these new worlds,
like your friend Ramsey Rosso.
He wants to spread his infectious cells
to every world out there.
No, I mean, Ramsey's powerful,
but he's not capable of something like that.
Right, but with Wally by his side...
Wally thought that he was projecting his consciousness
into the Speed Force to reach alternate timelines,
when, in fact, he was reaching other Earths.
So, if Ramsey's control
over Wally becomes permanent...
He'll gain control over the Multiverse, too.
Now, what have we here?
Ah, a gift from the boy genius.
You were so worried about Allegra's protection,
you didn't stop and think about your own.
Don't worry.
In a few moments, you won't care.
Sounds like trouble.
No.
Khione?
Whoa.
What'd you, uh... what'd you do to her?
Same thing I did to everyone else out there.
I froze all the water in her body.
Oh, don't worry. She's safe.
Wait. How did you know to find me here?
I was in line waiting for the cake
when I felt a presence calling me,
telling me that I was needed here.
Only, now I get the feeling the job isn't done.
This world will be cured soon.
But there are so many other worlds out there.
I think it's time we started.
Feel them...
millions of worlds waiting for your life blood.
A gateway to the Multiverse.
Thank you, brother.
Now infinite souls will know my gift and rejoice.
The attack's starting.
Ramsey's fed his cells into the breach.
Soon, they are going to infect your world
and all of the worlds yet to be born.
I have to stop him. You have to get me out of here.
- It's not that simple. - You have the power of a god.
You can bring me back from the dead.
No, I can't...
not while there is a part of you
that doesn't want to go back.
That's not true.
You've always been a terrible liar.
It's...
it's my birthday today.
I didn't want to do anything,
but Iris threw this party, and...
I-I should have been grateful, happy.
But all I could think about was...
Everyone who couldn't be there.
You've lost a lot of people this year.
Yeah, Frost died fighting Deathstorm.
Caitlin died trying to save her.
I fight some random mad scientist.
I get three extra years to live.
You know everything now, right, Oliver?
Tell me, how is it right I'm alive and they're dead?
How's that fair?
Life is a lot of things, Barry.
Fair isn't on the list.
You don't really believe that.
And if you did, your mom wouldn't be alive again...
or Tommy or Lance.
You used your powers to bring back everyone you loved.
Not everyone.
Your dad.
Survive.
No!
- Ollie, I'm sorry. - It's... it's okay.
Bringing him back would have done
too much to alter reality.
And I'd already done enough to dishonor his sacrifice.
When my father sacrificed himself,
when he gave me my extra years,
what was I doing with them?
I was wasting them.
I was drowning myself in this sea
of... of pain and darkness
and saying, Ollie, if you just...
If you cross one more name off the list,
if you save your city one more time,
then you'll absolve yourself of all of this guilt.
And I was wrong.
This guilt is never going to go away.
It is something that you have to learn to live with.
That is why people sacrificed themselves.
That is why I sacrificed myself for you,
so that in all of this darkness...
you...
Could be a guiding light...
A hero.
Because heroes don't stop running.
You're damn right.
So...
are you ready to keep running?
Good.
Wait, hang on. You're not going to...
boop me again, are you?
It kind of killed the Speed Force last time.
No, no, I'm not gonna... Not gonna boop you.
Ow!
- That hurts. - Living hurts.
Add it to the list.
Wait. You came back, too.
It's just temporary.
I can only intervene when the Multiverse is in danger.
I think you missed me.
Not as much as I missed this.
Let's go kick some ass.
Ramsey's cells are metastasizing
inside that breach.
If we're going to wipe them out,
we need a massive ultraviolet pulse.
How'd he do that? I thought you were the Spectre.
The attack on the Multiverse is weakening my powers.
I need a clear shot at the breach.
The Flash and Green Arrow together again?
- I am honored. - Don't be.
Wally, you don't have to do this.
Too late, Flash.
Wallace worships a new faith now.
He worships at the altar of Bloodwork.
You are starting to piss me off.
Why?
I'm only trying to improve your Multiverse by ending death.
Then I can bring every world together
under one mind for singular purpose...
Immortality.
Those worlds don't belong to you.
You're right.
They belong to them.
Are you, uh... are you sure this is going to work?
Trust me.
That's all I can manage.
Oh! Aah!
Mm.
What the hell?
Did that come out of me?
- Where's Barry? - He needs your help.
I'm not going to fight you, Wally.
Wallace is gone.
I know you can hear me.
I need you to know I'm sorry,
not just for today,
for all the times I've made you feel like you didn't matter.
Everyone has darkness inside them.
There is no cure for that pain. We can only accept it.
That's the only way we can beat it.
You can do this, Wally. You can beat him.
- I know you can! - No!
Brother/sister crime-fighting unit.
No.
No!
I killed you. I'm sorry.
I came back.
Now let's go save the Multiverse.
Impressive...
but let's see how you fare against me.
Oliver.
I can explain.
It doesn't matter, man.
How touching.
Unfortunately, this reunion will be short-lived.
That's one ugly son of a bitch.
Oliver, we got you a clear shot.
Ramsey Rosso!
You have failed this city!
I feel like I just recovered
from the world's worst hangover.
I think we all did.
The last thing I remember is drinking champagne.
What happened?
Ramsey's having a very bad day.
Hey, what about Allegra?
Chuck.
What have you done to me?
I'm human again.
I've cleansed the entire Multiverse
of your infectious cells.
Including the ones inside you.
And you killed me.
Now my HLH will return.
I took care of that, too... Perks of being the Spectre.
So it looks like you'll be spending
the rest of your human days as a regular criminal.
Where you're going to rot until old age,
just like everyone else.
No.
I was going to cure death.
I was supposed to save the world.
Don't worry. That's our job.
Thank you so much for protecting my family.
I don't know how much longer
little Nora and I could have held out.
Well, you're welcome.
I still can't believe that you're here.
I'm only allowed to intervene
when the Multiverse is in danger.
And now that Barry's taking Ramsey Rosso
back to A.R.G.U.S.,
it's safe to say everyone's out of danger.
So the Multiverse exists again?
It's a miracle.
Uh, isn't it science?
I think it's a little of both.
I understand.
It was you.
You're the presence that told me
to go back to S.T.A.R. Labs so that I could save Diggle.
Khione, you're connected to the natural world,
so you were able to use your powers to expel
the unnatural inside of John.
That's a lot to digest.
I'm going to go meditate.
Okay.
So now what?
Um...
wasn't there a party happening?
Cheers.
You okay?
Honestly, I have no idea.
Barry told me what Ramsey showed you...
Your room at Mom's house.
I can't imagine how painful that was.
Yeah, well...
I know I'm not going to find an answer to that pain
in the Multiverse.
I have to look within.
Sometimes it just...
feels impossible.
To cease from evil, to do good,
and to purify the mind yourself...
That is the teaching of all Buddhas.
What? I read your long-ass emails you'd send me.
Thank you. Thanks for everything.
You're going to be the best mom.
And you're gonna be the best uncle.
Mm, come here.
Guys...
Mmm!
Lyla wants me back at A.R.G.U.S. to debrief her
on the festivities.
- Duty calls. - Hmm.
So...
are you going to get to see her this time?
Um...
My...
powers came with rules.
Me and Felicity...
our destiny has been written.
You sure would be proud of her, Ollie, the kids, too.
William... he's in college.
Mia...
Mia can climb a salmon ladder, man, with the best of them.
I know. I know.
I've been keeping an eye on them...
Yeah.
And on you.
John, that cube was designed to tempt you.
But you did the right thing.
And now all of your brightest days are ahead of you
because they'll be spent with your family.
You're my family, Oliver.
I'm just glad I get to say goodbye to you this time.
Me too.
I love you, John.
Love you, too, brother.
So you got to tell me about these other Earths.
I mean, how many other Flashes are there?
Uh...
More than enough, but...
I got to say, nobody is more impressive than you.
How many times have you saved your city now... 170?
180, actually.
It's all because of you.
- I mean, you started this. - Well...
I don't know what my life would have been like
if I hadn't taken that train to Star City.
You still would have been a hero.
Maybe.
But you made me a better one.
You made me a better man.
Prochnost.
- Very... very good. - Okay.
Okay, Mr. Allen, I think that I have done enough
to upset the cosmic order for one night.
Can you get this?
Are you kidding? You're a billionaire.
Well, you...
you can't take it with you.
Oliver.
Yeah.
I mean, you can see everything, right?
Mm-hmm.
Do you think I'm... I'm doing enough...
with my powers, with my time here?
Well, Barry, you tell me.
Do you give people hope?
Are you moving through your city like a...
guardian angel?
Do you make a difference?
That bolt of lightning chose you.
Don't ever forget it.
Oh, and...
happy birthday.
Thanks.
