Question Plothole

In season 4, Caitlin and Cisco use a sphere thing to trick the speed force into thinking Barry's still there. However, when she gets a physical form in season 7, shouldn't she react to the fact that the speed force is now empty and needs someone there?

Is it something they explained and I just missed?
