EARTH-1
BREACH ROOM...
"Snow. You're a tremendous scientist, but...you're an even better person", Wells says.

"Don't make me cry, Harry", Caitlin says. "I've done enough of that already".

"Detective Joe West...you have great kids. You take care of them", Wells says.

"Same to you, Harry", Joe says. "You take care of those beautiful girls".

"Yes, sir".

"Im a better man that I was when I got here, and that's cause of you", Wells tell Barry.

"Im not the same either", Barry says.

"Hey, don't be surprised if I project myself over to Earth-2 every once in a while, you know, just to throw your stuff across the office", Cisco says.

"I'll miss you too, Cisco", Wells says.

"So, I guess I can't text you from another Earth, huh?", Jesse says.

"I guess not", Wally says.

"That's too bad", Jesse says.

"Thank you guys, seriously, for saving our home", Jesse says.

"Ready?", Garrick says.

"Yeah".

"I'll meet you guys, later", Jamie tells Wells and Jesse. "There's things I still wanna do".

"Yeah. See you on the other side", Jesse says.

Jamie notices Barry walking out of the West home, so she excuses herself and he's to check on him.

"You okay?", Jamie asks.

"Um, yeah. Just came out here to think", Barry says. "You know when you're leaving to go back to Earth-2?".

"Trynna get rid of me already, huh?", Jamie joked.

"Wha- no, I'm".

"Barry I'm kidding", Jamie says. "Im leaving now. But I wanted to check on you, before I leave".

Barry helps Jamie sit on the step.

There was complete silence for a while.

"Im proud of you", Barry says.

"What do you mean?", Jamie asks.

"Proud, for being strong. I know you lost a lot", Barry says.

"So have you", Jamie says. "Im sorry, for loss. I'm sorry for everything".

"You didn't do anything", Barry says.

"I blamed you for my dads death, and although, I was right at the moment, I shouldn't have done what I did", Jamie says.

"It's okay", Barry says.

"We lost both of our parents", Jamie says. "This sucks".

"Yeah".

Jamie looks at Barry.

"What going on in that head of yours?", Jamie asks.

"Can't stop thinking about my dads doppelgänger. Seeing him, knowing that he's out there, that should've made it easier", Barry says. "It doesn't. It just made me miss him even more".

"I understand. Seeing Wally, it brings up a lot", Jamie says.

"We just won. We beat Zoom. Why does it feel like I just lost?", Barry says.

"That's the cost of being hero's, Barry. No matter how much we win, we still lose", Jamie says. "But you lost a lot in your life, Barry. Some can say more than most".

"I wanna be selfish right now. I want to try to have something with you", Barry says.

"I wish I was in a place where I could try something with you", Jamie says. "But I numb. I feel more broken than I ever was in my life".

"Yeah. I understand. I feel so hollowed out inside right now", Barry says. "I need to find some..some peace".

"So do I. I need to get my life, in order, move on, and I can't do that and be in a relationship, because it wouldn't be real", Jamie says. "And I want to have a real relationship".

Barry looks up at the stars, as Jamie looks at him.

"But I will always be here, as your friend,
Barry. Wherever you need to go, whatever you need to do, do it. And when you get back. You know where to find me. And I'll be waiting", Jamie says.

"I'll be waiting too", Barry says.

Barry and Jamie leans in for their kiss.

Jamie is the first to pull away. She stand up and walks to the door. Jamie looks back and smile.

"Bye, Barry".

"Bye, Jamie".

Barry watches as Jamie walks into the house, "that's why I'm sorry. But I have to do this", he says.

Barry speeds away from the house, creating a portal.

"You're not gonna kill her this time. You're not gonna kill her ever again", Barry tells the man in the yellow suit.
