Six hours and minutes ago,

Barry vanished right in front of me.

We don't know where he is,
if he's in danger,

or why he's not back yet.

We don't know anything.

Whether he's even alive!

Since then,
I've doubled back to the loft

to look for evidence
at the scene of the crime.

Picked up some weird energy
signature from the air,

trace amounts of a radioactive isotope

of cobalt.

Did anyone else just get a bad feeling?

I... I don't get it.

What could leave behind
radiation like that?

I'm not sure.

But isotopes like this don't
just occur spontaneously.

Barry's disappearance
wasn't an accident.

He was taken, which
is even more terrifying.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

It sounds like y'all
could use some help.

Mark!

Welcome back, man.

It's so good to see you.

I was just thinking about you!

Where have you been?

Tundi, the Arctic, Corto Maltese,

volunteering at a few
different research facilities.

What are you doing back here?

I called for him.

You knew how to get in touch with Mark?

A few months after I left,
I reached back out to Cecile.

Guess I just needed a friend to talk to.

Khione, honey, I'm so sorry
that I couldn't tell you.

But Mark wanted some space,
and he asked me to stay quiet.

I'm sorry, too.

But I am done keeping my distance,

for the cobalt isotope.

And I can call Cisco at ARGUS,

I'm gonna go to the office and search

the database for anything

I thought that this time around,

we would give her a better life,

Also att*cked Allegra.

Hey, wherever Barry is,

and whatever happened to him,

we need to trust that he can
take care of himself,

Khione, what you did at CCC Media,

do you think maybe you could cure

Allegra's radiation poisoning?

I can only expel
the unnatural from people,

and the cobalt isotope
is part of the natural order.

Let's lock this place
down then, shall we?

Khione and I can survey

And, Iris, for the time being,

maybe you should wait in the time vault?

I can't help look for Barry
from inside of there.

to scan for the cobalt isotope.
