The two see the Music Meister, where he reveals that they're trapped in a motion musical. All they need to do is follow the story until it ends, then they'll be in back in their real reality. He goes on to warn them that if they die in the musical, they die in real life and the bar breaks out into singing "Put a Little Love in Your Heart."

After the musical number, they decide they'll follow along until they're confronted with a pair of gangsters and Barry is knocked out after he's hit over the head. It's revealed that Dr. Martin Stein appears to be a competing mobster of Meryln's in this reality.

Barry comes to and the two heroes have a brief heart-to-heart about their crumbling relationships. Joe West's doppelganger walks in and surveys the pair.

Cisco leads them to a location where he says Iris' doppelganger is located and the two bust the door down, only to see Mon-El and Iris kissing on the couch.

At STAR Labs on Earth-1, Caitlin tells the rest of Team Flash that it appears that the Music Meister is still the powers of Bary and Kara and the Meister can be seen using Supergirl's laser vision.

Iris returns Joe's and Stein's characters and it's revealed the two are a couple and Iris is their daughter. She tells them about her relationship and two are understandably upset. Kara is with Mon-El, who is Merlyn's son in this reality, and he's upset as well.

Barry explains to Joe and Stein that Iris is a grown woman and should be able to love whoever she wants to love and the dads agree. Stein and Joe break out into song and once complete and Iris leaves the room, they agree to go to war with Merlyn's gang.

On Earth-1, it's shown that they've captured the Music Meister and put him in a jail cell. Mon-El and Iris confront him about releasing Barry and Kara from the reality they're stuck in. He shares that he doesn't have the power to bring them out, they have to do it themselves by finishing the musical.
