When Team Flash-less gave the bazooka a try, Cisco seemed to lock onto Barry’s signal, but no Barry emerged right in front of them.
The members of Team Flash did what they could do bring him back to himself, ranging from Cisco and Caitlin playing “Poker Face” to try and recreate when he woke from his coma to Joe giving Barry a shave to Iris making a heartfelt appeal to the man she loves to return to her.
It seemed like their trick with the quark sphere failed… until Barry popped out of the Speed Force, naked and running 300 miles away from Central City.
He was clearly altered by his time in the Speed Force, as he spoke in gibberish and spent his time writing strange symbols over the walls of whatever room he happened to be in.
