“Graphic Novel #2.”
Spoiler alert: Neither Barry nor Iris is coping quite as well as they think they are.
As the Flash, he even issues a mea culpa to the city on live television.

“I let this city down…but I will make it up to you.”
Meanwhile, Iris is also struggling.
Needless to say, no one is thrilled when Abra Kadabra returns and more murderous than before.
It’s not long before Team Flash captures him and hands him over to A.R.G.U.S.
(shoutout to Cisco for mocking this terrible government agency).
Thankfully, Iris shows up at S.T.A.R.
Labs and gives him a necessary pep talk.
“You don’t have to do anything.
I’m never going to leave,” she says.
“Something terrible happened to you, not because of you.
That kind of trauma doesn’t go away in a day or week.
You have to face it.”
He has a big heart" ruined the moment by pointing out the obvious).
Anyway, Barry tells Kadabra that the only way for him to heal is to face his trauma.
But the episode doesn’t end there because a poorly rendered hulking beast shows up out ofnowhere.
It’s nice that the show gave Iris the space to express how she felt about everything she endured.
(Shoutout to Caitlin’s literal splitting headache.)
