- The famous meta-human
Killer Frost

will be sentenced today...

- So much for rebranding.

- Cecile,
how bad is this?

- Uh, typically?

Frost's charges carry
a sentence of 10-20 years.

But...today Judge Tanaka
is gonna weigh that against

all the good
that she's done as a hero,

and given that Frost
hasn't committed a crime

in four years...

I could make a case for
a lighter sentence.

18 months,
maybe less with parole?

- I mean she already pled
guilty and skipped her trial.

What more does the court want?

- They want to know
whether or not

you are responsible
for your crimes.

- This is a load of crap.

You saved the city and more
lives than I can count.

Jitter's named a freakin' drink
after you.

- Exactly. You know,

I say we just make like
"A Few Good Men"

and shove the truth down
the city's throat.

- Guys, we're not looking for
a loophole.

I did these crimes.

And Caity, I know
you want to help,

but ever since becoming my own
person, I've realized that

if I don't own up
for my choices,

I'll never be able to move on.

things you've done?

together?

- Keystone Cares--

- So, as you can see,
Your Honor,

my client has already
demonstrated

that, despite her past
mistakes,

Frost now only wishes
to serve this city,

alongside our greatest
protector, the Flash.

Still,

she's aware that justice
must be served.

Which is why she's seeking
a fair punishment.

Not only because
it's the right thing to do,

but to prove once and for all

who she really is.

She's a flawed person

who has changed her ways

and become a hero,
in her own right.

- Well-argued, Ms. Horton.

Counselor Strong,

would the State like to make
an opening remark?

- By her own admission,

the meta-human known as Killer
Frost is guilty of crimes

that have endangered
the peace of our city

and the safety of our citizens.

And the State
finds it absurd that

a former DA would romanticize
this narrative

to avoid punishment.

- It's early and I haven't had
my coffee, Counselor.

But I don't believe
the defendant is

asking to avoid punishment.

- Agreed, Your Honor.

But the State has one goal--

to ensure that this extremely
dangerous criminal

no longer threatens
our good citizens--

which is why we believe

she must have her powers
erased.

[spectators reacts]

- Your Honor,
that is highly irregular.

- I'll decide that,
Ms. Horton.

Ms. Strong, please continue.

alternate punishment--

by this court...

to take the meta-human cure.

Kramer is damn good.

We're here looking for a
lighter sentence.

felons are prohibited

from owning firearms,
Frost's powers are weapons

using the cure.

- A cure that CCPD only has
'cause we gave it to them.

A cure that's supposed to be
voluntary.

How can Kramer just force Frost
to take it like that?

- Is that even legal?
- Yeah, you would be surprised

what can become legal when
you've got the full force

of the American justice system
behind you.

It can be pretty scary
sometimes.

- What if we forget the deal,
just take the 10 to 20 years?

- Prosecution's not even
seeking jail time anymore.

Kramer is all about the cure.

She wants Frost neutralized
forever.

- At least
it can't get any worse.

- Actually, it can.

I just talked to Mom.
She's gonna run some more tests

to be sure, but we think
that because you are

uniquely born from meta DNA,
if you take the cure--

it could harm you,
maybe even kill you.

- This is insane.
Okay, no one is touching Frost.

We're gonna stop this, right?
- Hell yeah.

- Okay, we need to
fight fire with fire.

Hack Kramer, dig up dirt,

to save Frost.

I didn't just turn myself in

so that I could go
and break the law again.

We're doing this by the book

You're right.

still doesn't sit right.

Why would Kramer go so hard
to take you down?

- I have no idea.

But all I care about now
is stopping her.

- Well, we do that by
convincing the judge

that you deserve prison time
and not the cure.

I got some case law books
back at the office

look at, and uh, Joe,

Fuerza's isotopic signature

You still don't see her?

- No, nothing yet.

Fuerza's signature
is seismic-based.

Maybe she hides underground.

Man, there's a lot of
people here.

We should run them all away
before things get dangerous.

- No. The Forces want to feed
off our powers, Barry.

That's probably why this thing
attacked you

in the first place.

Using our abilities too early,
even if it's to save others,

could put them in danger.

- I guess that is possible.

There's still so much we don't
know about these Forces.

- We know all we need to.

They're dangerous.

I still remember
how they attacked me--

eating me alive.

I could feel it.

It's pure evil.

- I know, I felt it too
when Psych attacked me.

Wherever these things came
from, they have to be stopped.

- Yeah, I'm not so sure.

- What do you mean?

- Well, the Sage Force
is clearly dangerous

and Fuerza too,
but do you remember

what Chester and Cisco said
about Deon, the Still Force?

- That he was just a kid
who wanted to be left alone.

- Yeah, I mean,
does that seem like

a vicious energy feeder
to you?

Something doesn't add up here.

- Barry, the creature
that we're hunting

killed someone
and tried to kill you.

We can't let ourselves be
fooled by the

human facades these Forces
hide behind.

But I can also say

that she has put her life
on the line

countless times to save others.

- Frost has fought alongside
Earth's greatest heroes

to save the world, which means

that she's saved every person

Not for who she is today.

If it pleases the court.

- Earlier today, the meta-human
cure supply

at CCPD was rendered inert.

It is now completely unusable.

for such bold treachery--
Killer Frost.

Objection. Your Honor, this is

Prosecutor, do you have

the cure was destroyed.

We wouldn't have found out
if not for

Ms. Kramer's expertise
in military intelligence.

She uncovered the hack herself.

- It was me, Your Honor.

I did it, not Frost.
And I acted alone.

the same as her
criminal present.

wrong with her, she keeps--

[overlapping arguing]
- Order.

I said order.

- So, I just lie here?

- Yeah, these arc radiators

emit isotropic energy.

I'll be using this tablet
to gradually expose you

to those same isotopic waves.

Are you okay?

- No.
I'm scared out of my mind.

- You're gonna be fine.
I promise.

- So if you're right about
all this...won't I change?

'Cause if that happens,
I could hurt someone.

- You won't hurt anyone.

We're only administering
a tiny dose,

just enough to trigger
the smallest change inside you

on a microscopic level.

So if something...
is inside you,

our instruments will tell us.

- Nora?

- You still don't get it.

If I don't end her now,

she'll sacrifice me
to get what she wants--

my life.

- Wait, listen to me.

I know you're scared.

We can still help her.
- You should be helping me.

I need your powers to defeat
her, and you promised.

And now you're breaking
that promise.

And I know why.

You may be his lightning rod...

but I'm the lightning.
