Cisco and Joe are just hanging in the sun at this point, soaking up some rays. Whatever point this is in the story, who cares? They look comfortable. Note that Cisco is sporting some Flash colors!
Joe West ain't foolin' around! Skipping any little pistols in his pockets, he pulls out a very big (and from the looks of it, specialized) weapon to help in taking down the Atom-Smasher. Way to go, Joe!
Barry is going into the particle accelerator, which is probably where the man they knew as Harrison Wells, Eobard Thawne aka Reverse Flash is being contained. We have to assume he can be contained!
Yes, these have to be welcome back moments, because can you think of another time Eddie would be looking on at a moment like this between Barry and Iris with such warmth? Surely it's fleeting.
We're guessing at the timeline here, but it looks like these photos are right after the fight with Reverse Flash and Barry is being welcomed home, safe and sound.
It's nice seeing Joe out of uniform, but also a little jarring. It's so out of character that you know something extraordinary is about to take place. He's just never at STAR Labs looking like this.
Joe and Barry have what will likely be another amazing father son chat about what's next for Barry after kicking the Reverse Flash's ass. What CAN be next? That's the entirety of The Flash finale, I'm sure.
Ramsey: You know, I don't understand you Barry. You march towards death without fear, just like mum. Where is it you get your strength? Barry: Probably the same place she did, people I love.
