Oh.

Really?

[trigeminalheadache]

It's in his lab at the CCPD. He keeps it hidden behind a map of the city.

[takingkarabusiness]

I didn't know about his mom. But you said the case is closed? Does he feel the same way?

[trigeminalheadache]

I'm pretty sure he does? The man responsible, Dr. Wells, he left a video confession so that Barry could get his dad out of prison.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, that's... something at least.

[trigeminalheadache]

Well, his video also told Barry that he could have everything he ever wanted and he still wouldn't be happy. [ She looks down. ] I'm ashamed to admit that I admired that man, once. That I would have done anything to receive his praise and attention.

[takingkarabusiness]

Don't beat yourself over something like that. Some people are really skilled at making themselves what we need or want.

[trigeminalheadache]

And some people are— [ She draws in a deep, pained breath. ] —really good at falling for it.

[takingkarabusiness]

Which is not the fault of the person who trusted, but the person who betrayed that trust.

[trigeminalheadache]

I'm just... tired. Of taking those hits. I think we all are back home.

[ kara reaches out for Caitlin's hand to give it a squeeze ]

I get it. I really do.

[trigeminalheadache]

[ The gesture is appreciated. She smiles, sighing softly. ]

Let's talk about something else. Anything else.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think I've figured out how to get a pudding-like mixture from the gels?

[trigeminalheadache]

That's... good. How I miss real food.
