Back at the lab, Iris worries about Joe. When he tries to calm her down, she tells him the truth about what Barry saw in the future.

Cisco and H.R. come up with a crazy plan. They want to vibe into Flashpoint to figure out who the other potential victims are. Cisco uses Barry to vibe into a version of Flashpoint that still exists. He identifies another cop who took down Yorkin in Flashpoint. Joe heads out to find the woman before Yorkin. She's in the middle of a case so she pulls Joe onto a train with her as Yorkin watches.
