Caitlin asks him if he is going to call Linda and she tells him that he shouldn't let her slip away.

She gives some great drunk advice when Barry finishes helping her change and being the good guy he is, Barry stays with her until she falls asleep.

The next day, Barry greets a very hung over Caitlin but more importantly, Cisco has to admit that he let Hartley out of captivity and also that he sealed Ronnie into the accelerator before it blew.
