Synopsis:
When Flash makes a brief stop in another dimension populated by beings who move at incredible speed, he is late for his own wedding. Iris storms out, causing Barry to regret his dual identity. Barry gives up his costume and quits his role as the Flash. He then tries and fails to make up with Iris. When he sees his costume in the Flash Museum, he finds that he misses it. Barry puts on the costume as Iris looks on. He then defeats a gang of crooks. Iris thinks Barry was just trying to prove himself to her, little suspecting that she was learned his secret. Iris forgives Barry, who is happy to be back as the Flash.
