Drive-In Movie Theater

As HR, Cisco and Caitlin walked together, HR looked at the screen in confusion. "That's great. All right, we want to be 2/3 to the back, right in the middle," Cisco said.

"That's a very small screen. Like, I don't know if we're gonna be able to see from-" HR started.

"No, HR, the screen is perfect, okay? We'll be able to see fine," Cisco said.

"But we're so far..." HR said.

"That's where the engineer sits when he mixes the sound, all right? When you want to get the Kubrick experience, that's...The sweet spot, right there," Cisco said.

"I don't know, maybe we get a little closer, like right by-" HR started.

"Why don't you let us worry about the seats? You take care of the snacks and the drinks," Cisco said.

"Great idea," HR said but Cisco just stared at him, as HR just stood there, doing nothing.

"Any time," Cisco said.

"Oh, I don't..." HR said before he chuckled and got out his Earth's currency. "I'm pretty sure they're not gonna take the money from my Earth. I don't think."

"What? What is this?" Cisco asked.

"That's a helbing," HR said as Cisco got out some regular money and handed it to him.

"Here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna get us what we need, you're gonna do that, go over to that stand over there," Cisco said.

"Great idea," HR said.

"You're gonna get us some licorice sticks, some Jujubes," Cisco said.

"Licorice...Juju...Yeah, and coffee," HR said and then he looked at Caitlin. "Do you want anything?"

"No thanks," Caitlin said and HR nodded before he walked off to the food stand. Caitlin looked at Cisco, and he looked stressed.

"You okay, Cisco?" She asked.

"Yeah. Yeah, you know, just trying to deal with HR," Cisco said.

"Yeah, 'cause you've been on edge ever since you vibed me. Are you gonna tell me what you saw?" Caitlin asked.

"Yeah, I told you what I saw," Cisco said.

"No, but, for real. I can tell when you're not being honest with me. Am I her?" Caitlin asked and Cisco stared at her for a while before he nodded.

"Yeah. Yeah, you're her. I...I saw the both of us fighting. Like, full-on Vibe versus Killer Frost. It's like we're meta-frenemies," Cisco explained as Caitlin looked overwhelmed.

"Well, have you ever vibed anything from the future that didn't come true?" Caitlin asked.

"Just Earth-2 being ripped to shreds. But that doesn't mean that can't happen again," Cisco said but Caitlin's stress just grew. "Caitlin, you have to tell them. You have to tell the team. We have to figure out what's going on."

"No. It's too late. There's nothing you can do. Nobody else needs to know," Caitlin said before she walked away.

Joe and Cecile were in a line to get hamburgers and hot dogs when Joe kept checking his phone over and over again. "I haven't been to a movie in forever," Cecile said.

"I come whenever I can, I mean, sort of a summer tradition with the kids," Joe said.

"Yeah? You know, it's funny, you don't really peg me for a, uh, horror movie type. I thought maybe you'd be more of a chick-flicky," Cecile said.
