-Your tea's ready, babe.
-Aw.

[sighs] I can't thank your aunt enough
for taking care of Jenna.

I now am left with some free time
to look after my lady.

Aw! Loving that.

But are you sure
I'm not distracting you?

You look like you got a lot going on.

Well, I thought that [sighs]
when I left the force,

that I would dig into
Kristen Kramer's background.

You know, see what she wants
with this city's metas,

since she's replaced me as captain.

And look, everything I've dug up so far

-looks like this.
-Hmm.

I actually have something for you.

So, one of my pro bono clients
is a meta who's also an army vet.

I was prepping for his deposition,
and I came across a name

I think you might find interesting.

-Kristen Kramer?
-Yep.

This says they served together
at Fort Dakota,

but her DODs doesn't say that.

Maybe it's an oversight?

Or it could be that she doesn't want
anybody to know that she served there.

If these files are still around,
they're here.

I'll be back in a couple of hours.

Good luck.

[chuckling]

[door closes]

[screaming] Help!

Somebody help me!

Let me out!

Please!

[tearfully] Somebody help me.

[cries softly]

Wow.

This is new.

Ah… Frack. Was I supposed to ask
before I changed everything?

Because, look, I kept the pinball machine.

Oh, and Frost is going to love that.

It's just, I've never seen this room
without all of Cisco's stuff in it.

Which I totally understand.

I'll tell you what,

it ain't no thing, I can take all my junk
back to my garage, and then--

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down, Chester, okay?

I just said it's different.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

And look, S.T.A.R. Labs is your lab,
and we want you to feel at home here, too.

Thank you for saying that, because it took
a very long time to set up

these stealth audio speakers.

[upbeat electronic music
playing over speakers]

Wow.

Whoo!

Come on, girl. Get your groove on.

Oh, no, I have two left feet.

No worries. I will teach you the basics,

which I might add,
I learned from building robots.

Amazing.

You know what I think we need?

I think we need some more bass up in here.

-[music continues]
-[electrical buzzing]

I said… I think…

Just… one sec.

I said, I think we need
some more bass up in here.

[electricity crackling]

[grunts]

[clears throat]

Uh…

Not to worry.

We have a replacement cable
just like this one in the Starchives.

LB, shelf 52.

Wow, you're inventorying
the Starchives as well.

Cisco really did leave us in good hands.

[chuckles] Well, learned from the best.

Now, don't go anywhere,
because when I get back

our dance lesson shall commence.

[singing]
Our dance lesson shall commence

-[snapping fingers]
-[scatting]

[shoes squeaking]

Oh. Who put you down here, little fella?

Oh, you're supposed to be…

[loud thud]

Hello?

Anybody there?

Hey, Chester.

-Hey, man.
-How you doing?

I'm… I'm… I'm fine.

-Yeah. What are you doing down here?
-[loud thud]

[objects clattering]

Hey, Chester.

-Iris.
-Hey, it's me.

[both chuckle awkwardly]

What are you…
What are you… Wait.

If you're down here
and he's down here then…

That would mean--

-No, man. No. No.
-[chuckles]

-We were just, um…
-Cataloguing.

-Yeah, cataloguing.
-See?

Your hair… Your hair's kinda…

Um…

I have that call I was telling…
That work call I was telling you about.

So I'm gonna go do that, okay?

-You boys have fun. Okay, bye.
-Okay.

[mumbles]

[exhales]

[popping lips]

-Hey.
-Hey. [chuckles]

Sorry about this,
but, you know, after everything

that happened with the Forces, Iris and I,
we've decided to start trying…

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, cool.
Nice, bro. Nice, cool, cool.

-Yeah, well…
-I don't need to know.

-I don't need to know. We good, man.
-All right, cool.

Yeah, actually, that's Cecile.

She, um, she needs help
with a case, so I should go.

Cool, cool. Yeah, yeah.

Cisco, you did not warn me about this.

[exhales]

So, what do you think?
Does my client have a case?

I mean, as you know,
the state says your meta client Erik Frye

used his pyro kinetic powers
to burn the building.

But CSI has found butane at the scene.

So, obviously seems more like human arson.

Mm. Sounds like reasonable doubt to me.

Great work, Barr.

Yeah. This case,
does it feel familiar to you?

Didn't you defend
someone like this a few years ago?

Whoa.

Hey. Are you okay?

I don't know, I feel numb all of a sudden.

Whoa.

What's the matter, Barry?
Getting ill?

I can't see. Cecile.

-What are you doing to me?
-Getting you out of the way.

I have a plan, Barry Allen,
and you need to be gone for it to work.

Oh. One more thing. I'm not Cecile.

[distorted] Your mind belongs to me now.

So just let go. [snaps fingers]

[gasps]

Oh, what the hell?

[Cecile] Barry.

Is it really you?

I don't know what happened.

One second, he was helping me with a case,
and the next he just passed out.

Barry's brain waves are oscillating
at 0.5 hertz,

which is typical of a coma patient.
Look what the EEG picked up.

It appears to be some sort of
psychic neurofeedback signal.

I think that's what's causing
this brain activity,

but I've never seen anything like it.

If Barry's brain activity stays like this

he could be comatose
for the rest of his life.

We need to figure out
who did this and fast.

Okay, and how do we do that?

Well…

This may be a long shot, but…

What? Me?

Oh.

Yeah, I would love to try,

but, guys, I'm just an empath.

Cecile, if you use your powers
on Barry's brain,

you'll be able to sense
if there's someone else's emotions

that are active within his mind.

Chester's right. It could work.

Okay, I'll give it a shot.

Barry's emotions… I can't sense them,

but I can feel something else.

Something cold, like madness.

I can see something now,
I can see something… It's a…

It's like a light in the middle
of all of that darkness shining,

glowing gold? Like a golden mask?

Sweet Ira Cooper.

Folks, I think I know who did this.

So, Cecile, the mask that you saw,
did it look like this?

Mm-hmm.

-Psycho Pirate. I knew it.
-Roger Hayden?

He was a patient at Arkham Asylum
who we fought.

He claimed that he got psychic powers

from a mask he stole
from the Kahndaqi embassy.

But no one believed him
because he was certifiably insane.

I don't get it. Why would Hayden
go after the Flash?

He didn't. He is at Arkham.
But the mask isn't.

It says here that after the breakout,
Arkham returned the mask to the embassy.

But then they donated it
to the Central City Museum.

It's going on display tomorrow,

as a part of an exhibition.

Okay. They have no idea just
how dangerous this thing really is.

According to legends,
the warrior Gilgamesh

used the gold mask to imprison
a powerful demon,

or what we might consider today
as an ancient psychic meta-human.

Over the centuries, the mask has popped up

all over the world,
the Yoruba tribe in Africa,

17th-century pirates,
all the way up to Hayden.

Now, the story goes, if you wear the mask,

it doesn't just give you powers.
It feeds off of your mind,

leaving you insane and leaving the mask
in search of a new wearer.

A psychic parasite
moving from host to host.

And now it found a brain
that's capable of speed thinking.

So it's the mask that's attacking Barry.

But Barry's not wearing the mask.

No, the neurofeedback signal
must be the mask trying to start feeding.

And now that it's touched something,
it'll just keep feeding and feeding

until it gets rid of the brain waves.

What about the cerebral inhibitor
used on DeVoe?

That would stop the signal
and get Barry's brain functioning again.

But we'd need the mask here to do that.

[sighs]

It's too bad you can't just grab
the mask from the museum, huh?

[snaps fingers]

Why can't we?

Cecile?

[Cecile whimpers]

Are you okay?

I don't know. I don't know.

I'm so happy to see you.

It's okay.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

Wherever here is.

Do you have any idea where we are?

[sniffles]

The last thing I remember is, I was, uh…

I was at home with Joe
and there was a storm.

And then I woke up.

[gasps]

And I was locked in this room.

[breathing heavily]

Cecile, the force storm was two weeks ago.

What?

Have you been
in here this whole time all alone?

Barry, I don't think there is any way
out of this place.

Then we have to make one.

[sighs]

Before I got here,
I thought I was talking to you.

I think whoever trapped us here took
over your body.

Who could do something like that?

I'm not sure.

I don't know.

Bashir, maybe, but

Bashir's on our side now,
so I don't think this was him.

I don't have my powers.

[sighs]

When I was in Grodd's mind, he trapped me
in one of his old cages.

If this… If this is a mindscape

like that was,
maybe this asylum is a memory.

But whose memory is it?
And why trap us here now?

-[door creaks opens]
-[gasps]

Has that ever happened?

No.

Okay. All right, we have to see if there's
a way out of this place.

Wait. Barry, wait.

Your powers aren't working.
What if it's not safe out there?

What if… What if…
What if it's not safe…

and what happens if we die in a mindscape?

Then we die in real life, too.

But we're not the only ones
in danger here.

Whoever took over your body
could hurt Joe or Iris.

All right, look, if there's any chance
we can escape, we have to take it.

[breathes shakily]

-[keyboard clacking]
-Barry's still losing brain activity.

How long till we get our hands
on that mask?

Okay, so heists aren't really
my expertise,

but Cisco did leave me a number
to call in case of an emergency.

[Sue] It's a good thing, too.

'Cause this one sounds like a doozy.

[Sue] So, the mask
goes on display tomorrow.

But for tonight, it's on lockdown
in Central City Museum's

state-of-the-art restoration lab.

Hermetically sealed and protected
by a laser security grid system

that's sensitive enough
to detect a dust mite.

Which is nothing I can't handle.

There is one snag, though.

The museum just installed a bleeding-edge
Montgomery 5000 vault.

It has a passcode that changes every day.

The only person that knows that code
is the security guard.

Hold up.

-Cecile.
-Huh?

You could put some kind of
empathic whammy on him.

You know, like, get into
the guard's noggin with your powers.

I'm not a mind reader, Chester.

Okay, but…

But maybe if I get close enough
to the guard, I could try…

transferring my emotions into him,

making him anxious enough
to want to open the vault door for us.

But no…

No, it's way too risky.

Look, I am a lawyer.
I am not a cat burglar.

There's no way I can pull that off.

Uh, yes, you can.

I know you, Cecile. You're just as brave
and as capable as the rest of us.

Look, all you need to do is follow Sue in
after you disable the lasers, right?

Mm-hmm.

[exclaims squeakily]

Joe is never gonna believe this.

[laughs]

Okay, then.

I'm definitely gonna need a better outfit
for breaking and entering.

Feeling pretty confident, huh?

Oh, I am now.

You planned that heist so fast,

you made Dom Toretto in Fast Five
look like Dom Toretto in Fast One.

[both laugh]

About that, is there anything
about this whole situation

that seems kind of,
I don't know, odd to you?

I mean, we ID'd our target an hour ago
and we've done zero recon.

It's Heist 101.

You think it's almost too easy.

Okay, look, ever since I got here,
I've been training my butt off

for craziness exactly like this.

Okay, so, I've done my homework.

I've checked the math.

Heck, this isn't even the first time
I've helped save Barry's brain.

Team Flash just makes it look easy.

We got this.

If you say so.

You know, we… We got this.

Yeah. Yeah, we got this. [chuckles]

[keyboard clacking]

Okay. Looks like
security just switched shifts.

Ilsa Faust, you are good to go.

[grunts]

I'm in.

[Chester] How's it looking?

Well, I'll know in a second.

[gas hissing]

[Chester] Whoa,
those are some serious lasers.

Oh, this is nothing.

You should see
what Ralph and I faced in Tunisia.

-[exhales]
-[orchestral music playing]

[powering down]

Lasers are clear.

You learned that in Tunisia?

No. DeMatteis Academy of Dance.

She's good to go.

[exclaiming] Okay.

[grunts]

[panting, grunts]

I remember why I hate rock climbing.

You're doing great.

Let's find that security guard
and get in there.

[breathing shakily]

[sighs]

[Barry] All these doors are locked.

I think we should try another floor.

No. Uh… It's a one-story building.

I think that we should just double back.

-[faint buzzing]
-[soft clang]

[soft whoosh]

What was that?

Barry, don't.

It's okay.

Come on.

What is that?

That's our way out.

I've seen portals like this before.

We go through there, we're home-free.

[evil cackling]

What the hell?

-[whispers] Barry, we gotta go.
-Hold on.

Hello?

Are you okay?

Please forget her.
We gotta get out of here.

Something's not right.

Who are you?

Are you trapped here too?

[voice breaking] Barry, let's go.

Hey.

We can help you.

[gasps]

[laughing maniacally]

[distorted] Have a nice day, Barry.

Cecile…

[gasps]

[laughing maniacally]

[monitors beeping rapidly]

No, I've got to make sure
everything is still there.

[panel beeping]

[door unlocks]

[groans]

Vault's secured.

[Iris West] Okay. Be very careful.

Until we get that mask secure
in S.T.A.R. Labs,

consider it dangerous.

Guys, we've got a serious problem.

I was reading two brain signals,
Barry and the mask.

But now there's a third.

But how is that possible?

The mask is already feeding off of Barry.

Must be targeting someone else.

There's something I've been trying
to dig up. For a case.

It's too bad you can't just
grab the mask from the museum, huh?

Oh, my God.

[whooshing]

Sue, that's not Cecile.
You need to get out of there, now.

[distorted] A mortal weapon
against the likes of me?

Pathetic!

Stop it!

No!

Okay. This is gonna suck.

[distorted] Since time began,
many have tried to stop me.

All have failed.

Cecile, this isn't you.

Let our friends go or we'll make you.

Such hubris.

And from the boy who delivered
everything I needed.

How amusing!

Now my host shall serve me.

For eternity.

I'm up. I feel great. I feel amazing.

No, no, no. You're not going anywhere.
Not for a little while.

Okay, fine.

Since when does Cecile
have that kind of power?

[Iris West] She doesn't.

It was the mask.
That was the voice inside of our heads.

She was possessed.

Just like Hayden and all the others
before him.

Okay. When did all this happen?

During the force storm,
we thought Cecile was hit

by the Sage Force lightning.

But it must have been
the psychic spirit of the mask

that used that as a cover
to take over her mind.

Now they're both missing.
We've no idea where they are.

-Or what they are up to.
-[Iris West] We have to find her.

That mask is the only link
to helping Barry

and figuring out what happened
to the real Cecile.

-[sighs]
-[Chester] Look, the legend says

that the mask gives the wielder
enhanced psychic powers.

So, maybe if we track
her neurological signals…

And how 'bout we let someone else
come up with a plan for a change.

Sue, Chester was just trying to help.

Yes, so was I. When I told him
that this job seemed too easy.

But he brushed me off.

And I shot a tranq into my own neck.

She's right.

This is on me.

Chester, that thing tricked all of us.

But you heard what it said.

It put Barry in that coma,

just like Grodd did to play me
and zing my insecurities as the new guy.

It knew I'd pick Psycho Pirate
out of that binder,

and call Sue to help us
break into that museum.

All to make me think
I had this all figured out.

I really… I didn't know jack.

Oh, thank God.

You're okay.

That thing that attacked me…

That was you. How is that possible?

I don't know.

Cecile, you said there wasn't
a second story.

There's no way you could know that
unless you've been here before.

You know exactly where we are, don't you?

We're at St. Carmine's
Psychiatric Hospital

just outside of Houston, Texas.

Where I was a patient.

[sniffles]

My first year in law school,

I, um…

I got a job interning at the DA's office.

It was so fulfilling.

I was working 'round the clock.

Even when my mom got sick.

And when we found out
that it was cancer, she said,

"Cece, don't worry about me.

You keep working.
I can feel myself getting better already."

I was in court when I got the call.

She died all alone, Barry.

She died alone because of me.

Cecile.

[sniffles] And after that, I couldn't eat,
I couldn't sleep.

Couldn't stop hating myself.

And I just spiraled into anxiety
and depression. [sniffles]

And I had a breakdown
and I ended up in here.

Most days I'd just wander those halls,

I'd spend all night lying awake,

staring at that ceiling,
thinking about my mom.

And when I finally
checked out, I was so…

ashamed and afraid

that all of that darkness
was gonna catch up to me again.

And so I…

I told myself…

"Toughen up." [sniffles]
"Toughen up.

That's it. Smile.

And pretend like this never happened."

And that is exactly what I did.

You hid all that pain but…

It never went away.

[softly] I carry it with me every day.

Cecile…

I'm never gonna know what it was like,

for you to go through all this.

But I know what it's like to lose a mom.

But to blame yourself for it,

even when it's not your fault…

[exhales]

…makes you want to take that pain,
and bury it under a mask.

Away from the people you love.

But masks don't heal wounds,

they only hide them.

Facing those wounds can be scary as hell,

but it's the only way to start healing.

[whispers] What if I can't do it?

You can.

I know it.

[sighs]

Maybe that's our way out of here.

This is your memory.

That thing is just amplifying your fears,

when the door opened before,
what were you thinking about?

The truth about my time here.

But…

Barry, I'm thinking about it right now,
nothing is changing.

[soft buzzing]

You sure about that?

If you face this,

if you can confront your past,

I believe you can get us home.

Okay.

[Iris West] Hey, you okay?

Yeah, I need more neuro-fiber
to fix the memory machine,

so we could use it
like we did against Grodd.

But we don't have enough supplies here,
so I've got to go back to my garage.

I shouldn't be here, anyway.

Wait. Chester.

Yes, you should, Chester.
I mean, this is…

-It's your lab.
-No, Iris.

-It's not.
-What?

Look, I didn't come to S.T.A.R. Labs
to replace Cisco.

I came here to work with him.

And I want to do a good job
more than anything,

but when I saw Barry in trouble today…

Iris, I didn't even know where to start.

I thought to myself, you know,

"What would Cisco do?"

Decided I'm gonna act confident,
and brave, and…

act like I had it all figured out.

[scoffs]

Chester.

Confidence isn't what made Cisco Cisco.

I know.

What made Cisco Cisco
was the connections,

and the love that he had for you all.

Don't you get it?

I don't have those bonds, Iris,

I barely know you guys.

And I can't help but think that if I just

knew Team Flash a little bit better,

then I would have been able to figure out
that that wasn't the real Cecile,

and then this entire thing--

Okay. Okay. [chuckles]

Chester, Cisco didn't form
these bonds overnight. It took time.

It took patience, and…

we all have your back,

just like we know that you've got ours.

Thanks.

And look, Iris, I promise, hey,

from today on, I'm really gonna up
my game, and I'm gonna, like…

I think I know

where psycho Cecile was going.

Look, back at the museum,

the mask said, it wanted Cecile
to be its host for eternity.

But the legend says that once the mask
feeds on the host's mind,

it moves on to another.

So, if Cecile's an empath

then maybe that makes her a stronger host.

Not strong enough.
She would need something

to amplify her mental abilities.

To create a permanent food source.

Okay, so where do we find
a device like that?

In our basement.

[distorted] At last,
the key to permanence.

[rapid beeping]

[Caitlin] Barry's about to experience
complete brain death.

Please tell me we have a plan.

We think the mask is trying
to use The Thinker's chair

to create a permanent bond with Cecile.

[Chester] Well, frack.
She's already there.

[Iris West] How the hell
are we gonna stop this thing?

Okay, this is gonna sound crazy.

Crazy works sometimes.

It's just, I don't know
if it's the best idea.

Look, Chester, if you believe
that it will work, then I do, too.

Okay.

This is where the portal was before.

That's our only way out.

What's happening to this place?

[laughing maniacally]

You can't leave here.

You belong here forever!

[grunts]

Barry!

And this time, you're never checking out.

Who dares avoid my gaze?

I do.

[Cecile] You can't trap me in here.

This is my mind, not yours.

Ooh! So brave!

But you weren't so brave for Mommy,
were you, Cecile?

[gasps]

Don't you remember?

Your mommy dying alone in a hospital bed,

calling out for her only daughter,

-"Where is she? Where is my sweet Cece?"
-[straining]

[gasping]

[breathing heavily]

[distorted] I can sense the faith
you have in yourself.

It's the faith of a fool!

Oh, you cracked once,
and you will crack again.

And then, you'll be a psycho,
just like me.

I used to think that,
I used to think that, too.

I was so afraid of losing myself,

that I hid a piece of me away.

But I am not ashamed of it anymore.

[grunts]

So go ahead. Try and scare me.

But I know exactly who I am,
and I am done wearing a mask.

[screaming]

[yelling]

[electricity crackling]

Barry, Barry, the portal.

[Barry gasps]

[Caitlin] Barry, you're okay?

Cecile.

[gasps]

No, don't shoot! Don't shoot!

It's me. It's me. It's me.

[sighs]

So, what happens with that crazy mask now?

Yeah, Caitlin's taking it to A.R.G.U.S.
with an armed escort,

as we speak, she's going to help Cisco

retrofit a vault there
with mental dampeners

that will keep the mask
from finding more victims.

So, Sue, I'm sure you can't wait
to get out of here, huh?

All right.

Relax, Chester. Iris explained everything
to me, and I am sorry that I was so harsh.

I guess getting whammied makes me grumpy.

As for my next move, Ralph is still busy,
and I did miss Central City,

so, I think I'm gonna stick around
for a while.

I'm staying at the penthouse suite
at the Lily Hotel.

Nightcaps and a late dinner
on my terrace? My treat.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Yes.

Yeah? All right. See you there.

[Cecile] Um…

Hey, Barry.

You know, if it weren't for you,

I probably never would have
gotten out of that place.

No.

It was all you,
and I knew you could do it.

But I'm not the only one
that believes in you.

I know.

[inhales deeply]

I should probably go home and talk to Joe.

Few things I should tell him.

Tell Sue rain check?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Chester, you coming?

I mean, I know you're more
of a root beer kind of guy,

but you've earned a victory meal, too.

Really?

Even after falling for the wrath of some
omnipotent, psychotropic, immortal mask?

You know, after saying it out loud
and hearing it back, I'm kinda, like,

you know… [laughs] Yeah, count me in.

Chester, you are a full-fledged
member of Team Flash now.

Your voice will always matter here.

Just, um, make sure you use it.

Yeah. Okay.

With that being said,
there is just this tiny thing

that I wanted to talk to you both about.

Yeah, what's up?

[exhales deeply]

Okay, so, you know, the next time
you guys want to, you know…

-[chuckles]
-Oh.

Yeah, please, I'm just, you know…
Take a day off.

Maybe, go on vacation.

-Totally. We hear you.
-We should.

-Yeah.
-Okay, cool. Yeah.

-Cool.
-Bye.

Yeah, bye.

[Joe] Babe, I had no idea.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

I didn't want you to see me differently,

or think that I was weak.

Oh, Cecile.

I know what it's like in our community.

There's sometimes a shame in asking
for help when it comes to mental health.

With what our families go through
on top of everything else in this world…

[exhales]

…it could crush us, but we need to start

taking good care of ourselves,
and that's just what you did.

So don't apologize, just know…

that I will always be here for you.

And we will get through this,
or anything, together.

-Love you.
-I love you.

[sniffles, chuckles]

Hey, whatever happened
with Fort Dakota?

Yeah, you weren't the only one
wearing a mask.

There's a reason that Kristen Kramer

wants this part of her past
to stay buried.

Kramer's last army mission,

she was in command of a squad sent in
to take out several strategic facilities.

She never completed the mission.

She led them into an ambush.

-Oh, my God.
-Yeah, there's more.

She was the only one that survived.

Cecile,

I think Kristen Kramer
was working with the enemy.
