For Harry, that means stealing The Flashs power to protect his daughter.
For Iris, that means risking her life to keep Wally out of street racing.
And for Joe West, that means punching anyone who gets in his familys way.

Thrown into a tar pit on the night of the S.T.A.R.
Thankfully, Iris steps in and recognizes the guy.
And the guy running the street races just so happens to be Monteleones third target.
Wally is upset with her meddling, but that meddling saves Wallys life.
Iris survives but has to be rushed to the hospital for immediate care.
Well, that would be Harrys fault.
He thinks Zoom wont kill her or him before he has Barrys speed, and hes right.
Harrys conscience forces him to eventually come clean, though.
So as Barry questions his abilities following Iris injury, Harry reveals his misdeeds to the group.
And with one more punch to the face from Joe, Tarpit goes down.
Hes not the real issue of the hour its the state of the family that is Team Flash.
He can figure out what to do with his daughter on his own.
But Barry doesnt accept that course of action.
He recognizes that Harry acted as he did because he had one thing on his mind, his daughter.
Joe, too, has to make a choice that could save his family.
He chased after him because Joe recognizes that he cant keep acting like Wallys friend.
And so hes forbidding Wally from leaving his injured sister because family doesnt abandon each other.
Wally, though shocked, absorbs Joes message and sticks around to stay by his sisters side.
And so Iris awakens to find him there while Joe is out helping Barry.
Together, the two emotionally connect in a way they havent before.
That includes Harry, but it does not include merely slapping shut all of the portals connecting their worlds.
To close all of the breaches would be to end the door on Earth-2, on Harrys daughter.
Barry cant let that stand.
So he lets Harry out of his cage, welcoming him to the family.
And its a family thats going to be taking a trip together in the near future.
A trip to Earth-2, that is.
