Case Closed
In 2019, Ralph was hired by Richard and Penelope Dibny to find their daughter, Sue Dearbon. About 9 months later, Ralph tracked Sue using her credit card and he found her in an apartment. As he arrives, the apartment exploded and Sue escaped with him back to his office. Later, Sue said she is John Loring's girlfriend and they were "fighting" each other. As they went to John's warehouse, they were fought by a high amount of thugs and they were forced to escape by Ralph's powers.

After they returned to the office, they decided to go to the CC Mercantile Bank to steal John's property. Ralph disguised himself as Joe West and they got into the vault. As they got it, Sue locked Ralph in the vault and escaped, only to be faced by Loring's criminal organization. As Sue is about to get shot, Ralph arrives on his suit through the sprinklers. Ralph protects Sue and they argued until Ultraviolet defeated the organization. Later, Ralph was knocked away and Sue fights Ultraviolet. Eventually, Ultraviolet and Sue escaped when The Flash arrives.

Few weeks later, Ralph asked Cisco to help him hack into the First National CC Bank's security cameras. Later, they realized that the woman Cisco met is actually disguised by Sue. Ralph soon tracked down her in a investment company and talked to her. Sue compromised and gave him the drive with customers of CC Bank's money.

Final Showdown
After the team discovered Iris' real identity, they came out with a plan to take down her plans and rescue the real Iris. Later, Ralph and Barry went to a warehouse and saw Mirror Singh burning Black Hole storage.

Ralph returned to his office and met the Dibnys. As Ralph apologises for unable to find Sue, Sue appears on the back and claimed she returned. Ralph took Sue out and told her that the files of the Dibnys were destroyed but Sue refused to take them as Joseph Carver stopped threatening them.
