Synopsis:
After returning to the 20th Century, Iris Allen suddenly possesses the ability to see through disguises. She correctly identifies an imposter who has kidnapped a business tycoon and fingers two bank robbers. Though Iris clearly blurts out their identities, Iris has no memory of doing so.

When Flash is called to testify in court beside his comrades in the Justice League, Iris nearly exposes their secret identities. Flash intercedes to protect his friends. Fearing Iris will cause more trouble, he takes her back into the timestream. During the trip, the locket she received from her birth father glows. The Flash deduces that it is the cause of Iris's outbursts. Removing the locket cures Iris of the condition.
