We're fighting a gatekeeper

in Grodd's mind.

We need to beat it to escape,

and the only way to do that...

- Is by working together.

- [growls]

- There isn't much time.

The world

is gonna split apart.

- Grodd thinks lightning

can save him?

Nothing can save Grodd.

- Uh, Barry, we've got

bigger problems

than Solovar right now.

- I know, Grodd's mindscape

is falling apart.

- Actually, this is worse.

- What can be worse than this?

- [roars]

- According to my scans,

if you exit the mindscape

with your brainwaves

still merged,

you'll end up in one body.

- Brundle-Flash. Gross.

- Yeah.

And what's worse is,

the resulting

physiological conflict

will cause every brain cell

to shut down,

and the resulting form would...

- We'd both die.

- Yeah.

- Wait, so we have to somehow

separate their minds at

the exact moment they escape?

- And I'd have to be accurate

to the millisecond.

Which isn't possible.

- Not for us.

But it's very possible

for a mobile interactive

artificial intelligence unit.

If we sync Gideon's

quantum intelligence network

to Barry and Grodd's

bio-analytics,

it'll perfectly time

the neural de-splicing.

But I'd have to do some more

augmenting to this puppy,

and my augmenting is what got

Barry into this mess,

and I--I just really

don't wanna mess up again, so--

- Chester, listen to me.

That tweak you made

to Gideon earlier?

In two seconds,

you improved her functionality

more than I did in two hours.

You're a genius.

Maybe it didn't work out

exactly how you planned,

so here's round two.

Try again.

I need you now, Chester.

Please.

You can do this.

I believe in you.

- Flash believes in me.

- We all do.

- Go ahead,

take your second chance.

Show us your moves.

- Right.

It's time for the

LeBron James of the Junkyard

to do his thing, baby!

Oh, watch out,

brothers and sisters,

because Chester P. Runk

is b-b-b-back!

- Great. Now all we have to--

[comm cuts off]

- Flash?

- Grodd!

- [groans]

- There is no escape.

- [grunting]

- Solovar's winning.

Come on, Barry.

- How's it going, Chester?

- Please let this work.

You have too much to live for.

Don't let the past win.

Put it all behind you and show

Thanks to the team.

- So do you think Grodd

has gone, like, full hero?

Or is this more of like a--

like a Captain Cold

"former villain turned

sort of good guy" situation?

- Uh, we'll see, I guess.

Lyla had A.R.G.U.S. embed

a tracking polymer

in his cerebellum.

She agreed to let him out

on probation

as long as we know

where he is at all times.

So if he does break bad again,

um, I'll find him.

- Which reminds me,

I'm gonna check in with Lyla

and make sure I understand

A.R.G.U.S.' protocols.

I wanna make sure they give

Grodd a real chance.

[phone rings]

- Yeah.

- Hey, babe.

You're kidding.

That's great!

When?

Cisco's coming home!

Hey, um...

I wanted to say, uh,

I'm sorry I wasn't

more welcoming.

It's--I mean, I was dealing

I felt like everything

in my life was changing,

Evidence--

evidence is irrefutable.

My colleagues ridiculed

I just...

Would you get them?

- Yeah, of course.
