In her heart of hearts, Caitlin knows she won't stay away from Central City forever. She's tried before, it always pulls her back.

This time is no different.

Except that it is.

Because this time she doesn't just return to Cisco's gadgets, Harry's grumpiness, Iris's smile, Barry's enthusiasm.

Instead, she knocks on the door of the West house, looks into a pair of brown eyes, says "I know I don't deserve to... but can I come in?"

Miracle of miracles, Joe smiles. Better he pulls her into his arms. "Welcome home," he says and she smiles, knowing she finally is.
