When Barry slowly walked in, he saw Kara pacing around worried, her blonde curled hair bouncing as she paced. But he also saw Iris and Mon-El talking, and when he looked at them, all he saw was what the future to come. "Hey, guys," Barry said finally and they all looked at him, and a relieved expression watered over Kara, before she walked up to him.

"Hey. Are you okay?" Kara asked before she hugged him and Barry hugged her back. "You and Jay disappeared, and..."

"Nah, I'm okay," Barry said before they broke their hug, and Barry pecked her soft lips. "I'm just glad to see you."

"So where's Jay?" Iris asked and Barry looked over at her, but all he saw was a splitting image of her dead.

"Jay, uh," Barry started, quickly composing himself. "decided to go ahead and go back to Earth-3. But he wanted to wish everybody a Merry Christmas."

"So, it worked?" Mon asked.

"The stone...It's gone. It's lost in the Speed Force," Barry said.

"Good, good," Kara said before smiling.

"I don't know about you guys, but being mind-punked by a speed god that we piss off in the future, it's...it's enough to kill your Christmas spirit," Cisco said.

"Guys, Christmas time is here. We need a little Christmas. Right this very minute. Who's with me?" HR asked before he looked at Barry. "BA." He then looked at Mon. "Daxam."

"Don't call me Daxam," Mon said softly.

"Well, he's right. It's Christmas, we should be together," Barry said before he wrapped his arm around Kara's waist.

"Let's have it. I'm still in if everybody else is," Kara said.

"Yes!" HR exclaimed.

"Okay, we'll be there," Cisco said.

"Yeah!" HR exclaimed but his happy smile frowned when Julian suddenly walked out. "Julian...Where's he going?"

As Julian continued to walk out, Caitlin followed him out. "Hey, where are you going?" Caitlin asked and Julian looked back at her. "Do you have Christmas plans? The West's are having a Christmas get-together. And Kara is bringing her adoptive sister. After what you've been through, you shouldn't be alone."

Julian stared at her heavily before awkwardly clearing his throat. "I actually prefer to be alone at Christmas," Julian said before he walked off.

Cisco and Caitlin were in the living room, looking out the window to see it was pouring down rain. "Rain on Christmas. That's neither holly nor jolly," Cisco said and Caitlin turned to him.

"Hey, listen, um...about Dante," Caitlin started.

"Thank you for talking me off the ledge," Cisco said.

"Of course, you'd do the same for me. In fact, you did the same for me," Caitlin said.

"I was gonna say," Cisco said before they chuckled but then HR stumbled over to them, holding a cup of eggnog, dead drunk.

"Caitlo...Caitlo, Ciscan...okay...whoo...you got to try the eggnog a holiday concoction done by Joe and his hot girlfriend," HR stammered.

But meanwhile, Barry was sitting in a chair, staring at Iris laugh with Mon-El. "This place is...magical," Alex said in the distance and Kara smiled.
