For a little bit, it seems like Eddie is not going to do that, and he — forgive the language — beats the shit out of Barry. Blood dripping from his mouth, Barry tries one last time to explain that he understands he can’t destroy the Negative Speed Force, but what if they worked together? Barry, the positive avatar of the Speed Force (since he is Barry), and the Negative Speed Force would be working against each other. You get it, right? No?

Then it’s time for a baby-welcome party, but Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) steals the spotlight by using the opportunity to propose to his baby mama Cecile (Danielle Nicolet). She says yes. Everyone cheers.

…But that’s not the end, because there’s still time for one final The Flash post-title sequence. In it, Barry tells Baby Nora to stop crying and that he’ll tell her a story.
