[somber music playing]

[imperceptible]

[alarm sounding]

-[tires screeching] -[police siren wailing]

[dramatic music playing]

[female police officer] Freeze! Put your hands in the air!

[grunts]

[Blockbuster in robotic voice] Well, hello, officers.

Now, that was fun.

[sighs wearily]

I'm so not in the mood for this.

[breathing heavily]

All right, big guy.

I'm gonna give you one chance to stand down.

I'll give you one chance to beat it.

Chester, what's he wearing?

[Barry] Chester.

Sorry. Just give me a second to, uh…

Okay. Okay, I got it.

The armor matches the description of an exo suit stolen from Ivo Labs.

It's charged by amplifying the wearer's biochemistry.

So everything from his movements

to even his emotions…

Are fuel that makes him stronger.

You should have run away when you had the chance, Flash.

Now, this has to happen.

[grunts]

-[ground rumbling] -[Cecile gasps]

[ground cracking, rumbling]

-[windows shattering] -[people screaming]

There's a lot of people in there.

[Chester] Okay, Flash.

He just compromised two steel girders in that substructure.

That building's gonna collapse.

Allegra, Cecile, I'm gonna use my lightning

to weld those girders back together.

Take this guy down.

Okay, Let's do a classic corral and contain.

Allegra, charge up and hit him with a UV burst.

-Hey, snow pants. Over here. -[powers charging up]

And then Frost, you swoop in…

[dramatic music playing]

[car explodes]

Allegra!

The blast knocked her out, but she's still breathing.

[hesitates] I am so sorry.

[Cecile] Chester, I need you to focus.

You've got to help me figure out how I'm going to stop this guy.

Your friend should learn how to aim.

If you can try to calm his emotions,

that could depower the suit.

-[breathes deeply] -[powers whooshing]

You trying to mess with my head?

[screaming]

[gasps]

What just happened?

[voice shaking] It's all of my grief from Frost…

[breathing heavily]

and all the panic inside the building.

[breathing heavily]

[crying] I can't take it, it's overloading me.

I can't use my powers.

Pathetic. Worst heroes ever.

[breath trembling] Allegra. Allegra.

[softly] Hey, hey.

You guys okay?

Yeah.

Chester, where'd he go?

I don't know. He just vanished.

[suspenseful music playing]

[somber music playing]

[sighs]

[device beeping]

The CCC tip line still has nothing on Mark Desmond, aka Blockbuster.

Keep digging, please.

Chester says his suit has some kind of cloaking tech we can't track…

which means… [sighs] we're not going to see him again.

Until he attacks.

And when he does?

[softly] Iris, we can't go back out there like this.

I mean, we should have easily stopped Desmond,

but Allegra and Cecile were almost killed.

We're all still pretty messed up about Frost.

I think with any normal job, we would take time off to grieve.

-But with Team Flash… -This isn't a normal job.

[Barry breathes deeply]

Iris, how am I supposed to tell people who just lost a family member,

they need to find a way to mourn

and still get the job done?

I don't know.

But if there is anyone who can find the right words

to inspire us right now, it's you.

Thanks for taking the time for this meeting, guys.

Yeah. We realize it's a crazy time with everything going on.

[Cecile] Of course.

Yeah. We need to be together.

Now, more than ever.

Speaking of, where's Caitlin?

[Barry] I didn't want to bother her.

I think she's preparing for the funeral tomorrow.

Maybe we should do the same thing.

[sighs]

Look, while your satellite is looking for Desmond,

Kramer put out an APB

and she's got a unit placed at every bank in town.

And luckily, we have the time to take a break.

In a perfect world, it would be great to take some time off.

God knows we all need it.

But at any moment, we could face something worse.

And, whether we like it or not, we're this city's first line of defense.

We all saw what happened out there.

Yeah, if it had been Bloodwork or Despero…

You know, Frost is gone.

And we all need to mourn her.

But we also need to find a way to protect this city.

I didn't realize we were having a team meeting.

We figured you might need some alone time.

It's fine.

I haven't been sleeping very much, so I could use the distraction.

Are you sure? I know you must be dealing with a lot,

and I know how hard it can be to organize a funeral.

Actually, my mom is handling all the arrangements.

Okay. I mean, if that's what you want,

but we're all happy to pitch in.

Like I said, my mom's got it covered.

But if you've got a problem with that,

feel free to give her a call.

Offer your help.

'Cause I'm not going to any damn funeral.

[somber music continues playing]

-Caitlin. -Barr.

Give her some space.

Dad, she's hurting.

Baby girl, I know. We all are.

But like Barry said,

we just lost a family member,

and that pain will keep us

from protecting those in need.

It will cloud everything we do

until we face it,

and heal.

Yeah, but how are we supposed to do that?

By honoring Frost.

Look, I just…

took watercolor classes at the community center

because Frost made me promise

that I would try to express myself through art.

And I got to admit, when I saw the first canvas…

[chuckles softly]

[shakily] I felt Frost smiling down on me.

And we all have to find our own ways

to honor her.

'Cause it is the only way,

we are going to heal as a family.

There's still zero hits on the tip line about Blockbuster.

It's already tough knowing that people almost died

because we weren't ready to face him.

But knowing that he could reappear at any moment,

it makes what we're going through that much harder.

I know.

Which reminds me,

I think I've decided how I'm going to take Joe's advice and honor Frost.

After her court battle last year,

wrongly imprisoned metas?

That became a cause really close to her heart.

So, effective immediately,

I am going to dedicate 25% of my caseload

to pro bono work in her honor.

Frost would love that.

Yeah?

[sighs] I'm going to write a special obituary for her on CCC.

That's a great idea.

Yeah, but every time I sit down to write it, I can't.

Because…

I mean, to write about her in any meaningful way,

like how she died saving her sister, I…

[softly] You risk exposing yourself as a member of Team Flash.

Yeah.

But this is my job, so,

why can't I push through?

Hey, Aariz.

When you interviewed last year, you mentioned writing obits once.

[Aariz] For Stars and Stripes.

When I was on active duty with the Army in Afghanistan,

sometimes I'd help write obits

for soldiers who died on classified missions

or had no family.

If I wasn't privy to all the details,

I'd find other ways to honor their memory.

That's amazing.

Do you think that you could take over Frost's obit

for tonight's headline?

I always admired how she handled those ridiculous charges against her.

I could have it ready in, say, an hour.

Yeah, that would be great.

-Thank you. -[Aariz] You got it.

[softly] Hey, Iris.

Honey, are you sure you want to hand over something so personal

to somebody who never even met Frost?

Well, I think an objective point of view is exactly what I'm missing.

[Iris] So, does it do her justice?

Well…

[sighs]

You think Aariz did a terrible job?

It's well written and factually accurate,

but it feels cold.

Like it was written by someone who didn't know Frost.

But that's not why I wanted to talk.

I could have read this over email.

I wanted to see how you're doing.

[exhales sharply]

I feel the same way.

[breathes deeply]

Iris,

why didn't you write this?

I mean, you've known Frost longer than I have.

I guess, at first, I felt like if I wrote it,

I wouldn't be able to say everything that I wanted to say.

But the more I think about it,

the more I realize that…

I don't know what to say. [chuckles]

Carla, I may have known Frost longer, but I didn't…

get to know her.

And now you're angry at yourself for lost opportunities,

because you thought you had all the time in the world.

[sighs] I felt the same way being estranged from Caitlin for so long.

And then I almost made the same mistake when Frost came around, but…

[chuckles softly]

Luckily for me, she didn't let me.

[clicks tongue]

And in the end, I got to know her just a bit…

and I'm… I'm better for it.

So, what do I do now? [chuckles]

[Carla] Well, here's one thing I do know.

Frost wouldn't care about some obituary that sung her praises.

She didn't give a damn what people thought.

She just wanted to protect them.

That was her legacy.

[Carla whispers] Yeah.

Thank you, Carla. [sniffles]

Yeah.

-I think I know what to do now. -[softly] Okay.

[softly] Thanks.

-I'll see you tomorrow. -[softly] Yeah.

Oh, excuse me. Could I get that iced drink? The Frost.

Sure, but it's actually called Killer Frost.

[sighs]

Well, it shouldn't be.

Never mind. Thanks.

[sighs wearily]

Welcome to Citizentopia,

where you, the citizens of Central City,

share your stories.

I am here today to talk about a fallen hero.

Someone who was often misunderstood.

A woman that you all know as…

[inhales deeply]

Killer Frost.

But to the people who really knew her,

she was no killer.

Frost saved lives and she changed them for the better.

And I am here with two people who are proof of that.

Kamiko, Jamal, thank you for joining us.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Sure. -Thanks for having us.

So, I understand that you both had a unique encounter with Frost?

It was during Bloodwork's attack on the city

and, uh, we were in the subway.

It was just completely overrun by his blood brothers.

I was so scared.

[Kamiko] We all were.

It was a bunch of strangers trapped,

while those things picked us off one by one.

Until Frost showed up.

Seeing her courage in court,

I knew I was on the wrong side of the bench.

So, when she was released, I reached out,

asking for forgiveness.

She caught me right in the middle of it.

But she didn't turn me in.

[Kamiko] It was amazing.

Frost froze those blood brothers and helped us escape.

We owe her our lives.

And what did Frost say?

[woman] That I did my job.

[breathes deeply]

But maybe I should get a better one.

[chuckles]

[man chuckles] Man, I was a tagger.

If it wasn't for Frost, I'd be in jail right now.

Instead, I got my first gallery exhibit next week.

So, the next day, I quit the State Prosecutor's Office.

Now I'm defending metas in Star City.

If it wasn't for Frost, we… [chuckles] would have never gotten married.

[Kamiko] So, wherever you are, Frost,

thank you.

[exhales sharply]

There must be one perfect thing to do to honor Frost.

Just because Joe handed out some greeting card advice

doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

I don't know. It sounded pretty on point to me.

How can one thing honor someone as amazing as Frost?

[scoffs]

Barry told us about the eternal flame for Oliver Queen.

[chuckles]

What if we made, like, a Frost-ified version?

Yeah, yeah, like if I took her superhero costume

and I put it in a glass case

with cryo coolers,

so that it could create a self-sustained blizzard.

So, it'd stay frozen forever.

You mean a snow globe?

[playful music]

You know, it'd help if

I wasn't the only one coming up with good ideas.

Passive aggressive, much?

No, no, not passive…

Passive aggressive is getting Hirschfield's

to put hummus on our sandwiches.

Oh, wow. I didn't see you getting butt-hurt over a sandwich

on a bingo card today.

Also, you love hummus.

I do. I do.

Hummus is wonderful, but it's not a condiment.

Ketchup, is a condiment.

Mustard, also a condiment.

Hummus is like a side dish.

No, no. Hummus is a dip.

Easy, Condiment King.

I don't need you Runk-splaining hummus to me.

Well, I don't need you being so cavalier with our sandwiches.

Don't worry, because I am never bringing you lunch ever again.

-[scoffs] -[air whooshing]

[gasps]

[panting] Sorry. Sorry.

Do you guys know where the Arctic parkas are?

The cozy ones?

Yeah.

Starchives.

[softly] Right. Thank you.

[breathing heavily] Gotta run.

-[air whooshing] -Ah!

-[cell phone buzzing] -[Allegra sighs]

[inhales sharply]

CCC tip app's blowing up.

Something crazy is happening at O'Shaughnessy's.

Is Blockbuster here to settle his late fees?

No, it's not Blockbuster,

but I have a feeling we're going to wish it was.

[upbeat music playing]

Aw, come on, man!

-[music ends abruptly] -[man grunts]

[rock music playing]

[yells] I am a party god!

[bottle shattering]

[Mark grunting]

We can never unsee this.

[bartender] Hey.

Is that your friend?

Uh…

Because that jerk just froze half the bar.

[Allegra sighs] Sorry.

He's had a rough week.

Here.

[powers whooshing]

[exhales sharply]

I'm going on break.

If he's not gone by the time I get back,

I'm having him arrested.

[chuckling] Hey, Chuckles, Garcia.

Come to join the party, have you? Yeah?

[gruffly] Yeah, you did.

[Mark grunts]

-[utensils clinking] -[glass breaking]

What's your poison?

You look like a Fuzzy Navel man.

-Coming right up. -[glasses clinking]

Thanks, but I actually… [chuckles]

I actually don't drink.

Awesome. More for us.

[humming]

[people laughing]

[grunts]

[breathing heavily]

Oh, big night out, huh?

Yeah, I've been there myself.

Sure.

Right now, love is all cupcakes, puppies and monster trucks.

But just you wait until one of you dies

battling an interdimensional death demon.

Oh, yeah.

Pain is coming.

[Chester] Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. Use your knees.

There you go. No, no. Oh…

You're okay, buddy.

All right. You guys want to rob a tech facility or something?

It might quiet the voices.

This man needs Vibeaccinos, lots of them. I could run to Jitters.

And leave me here with Chillbooze?

No way.

You know, you can't just shoot down my ideas without offering another.

Fine, let's get some food in him.

Do they serve fries here or something?

[Chester] They must.

Ketchup bottle, see.

Mustard bottle.

[gasps] Ooh, look.

-No hummus bottle. Case closed. -[scoffs]

-It's a condiment. -[Chester] It's a dip.

-[Allegra] You're a dip. -Well, call me hummus, then.

-Ugh! You are impossible. -I can't believe…

Hey!

[both] What?

You two are really killing my party's vibe.

All right?

Besides, you're not even fighting.

You're just doing what friends do, baby.

Helping each other to see the world in your own unique way.

That's what Frost did for me.

She shared her real self with me.

Only I was too dumb to share me with her, and now it is too late.

But I'm glad I got to see things her way.

[Mark snoring]

[powers whooshing]

[Chester groans]

Oh! Those muscles are heavy.

Sweet dreams, party god.

[both panting]

[both breathing heavily]

-Al, I am so sorry. -Chuck, I'm sorry.

[both chuckle]

-I can't believe we're fighting. -Over a dip.

[chuckles softly]

Yeah, I miss her too.

You know, even though Mark might be drunk as a skunk,

he was right.

We are really good friends.

The best.

So if we listen to each other, I'm sure we could find

that one perfect thing to honor Frost.

Yeah, actually, now that I'm listening to you,

I think that your costume idea was on to something.

-Yeah? -Can I suggest one tweak, though?

-For sure. Yeah. -Okay.

[triumphant music playing]

She told me she first felt like a hero wearing this jacket.

Now that's how we'll remember her.

Always.

[triumphant music continues]

[wind blowing]

[winds howling]

[soft music playing]

[saw whirring]

[woman speaking French]

[air whooshing]

[crowd cheering]

[in English] Hold on to your badges. We have a tight one.

CSI Barry Allen and reigning champ, Officer Daisy Korber,

down to their last dog.

And…

[crowd cheering]

[buzzer sounds]

[crowd cheering]

Allen wins it in the upset of the century!

Thank you.

[officers laughing]

[exhales sharply] Fine.

But I want a rematch next year, Allen.

Sure.

[exhales]

[snorts]

[trilling]

[objects clattering]

[Barry] How long were you in there?

[Mark breathing heavily]

I was hoping you could tell me.

Hey, do you mind telling the contractors

to knock off all the hammering or whatever that is?

Uh…

That's not construction.

[gasps] Great.

Guess I overdid it with the bourbon.

[breathing heavily] And the tequila, and the vodka.

[pills rattling]

[Mark] Hey, what's that?

Uh, satellite scans looking for Blockbuster.

No sign of him yet, but… [inhales] he'll show up sooner or later.

This team still isn't ready to face him.

Not all that. I'm talking about this.

Did you do all of these already?

How are you doing?

I never even got to tell her how I felt.

Did she ever tell you about the time that she signed us up

for the couples' tag-team wrestling tournament?

We crushed it, obviously.

But then she gave our championship belts away

to some kids at the ramen joint where we were celebrating.

Because it wasn't about winning.

It was about the experience.

-You really knew her well. -I thought so. Yeah.

[exhales sharply]

I also thought finishing this list

would be a way to honor her memory.

But even with everything crossed off, it still doesn't feel complete.

Look, man.

As wild and crazy as her lust for adventure was,

what my Snowflake lived for more than the thrills,

it was taking care of the people she loved.

That's what she really wanted to do with her life.

Hell, she was literally born to be Caitlin's savior.

She never lost sight of that.

I know how to honor Frost's memory.

[uplifting music playing]

But right now, it seems impossible.

What's impossible for the Flash?

'Cause I'm not going to any damn funeral.

[Barry] Caitlin.

[melodic sad pop song playing]

[sighs deeply]

[knock on door]

[door creaks]

-I'm still not going. -I… I just came to apologize.

And to listen.

I suppose it's no use shutting the door on someone who can phase through it.

Look, Caitlin, um… [exhales sharply] about yesterday morning in the lounge…

It's fine. I know you were just trying to help.

Yeah, trying and knowing the right words to say aren't the same thing.

And I'm sorry.

I said everything wrong.

We've both been through a lot over the last couple of days,

so I think it's okay to let ourselves off the hook.

But you don't have to worry about me.

I'm good, honest.

[suspenseful music playing]

You're still having trouble sleeping?

I've had a lot on my mind.

So, yes, I've had a few sleepless nights,

but medically speaking, I'm not in any danger.

So, thank you for coming. [chuckles]

Caitlin,

I know you'll regret not going to your sister's funeral.

Unbelievable.

I mean, do you hear yourself right now?

This isn't even about me.

This is about you and your need to be the hero.

I am not one of your missions, okay?

And not everything can just be fixed with speed healing.

But I need to grieve Frost in my own way.

So if you don't mind, will you please leave?

[Barry sighs]

Look, Caitlin, I will leave you alone, if that's what you really want,

but before I go, just ask yourself one thing.

What would Frost want for you?

You knew her better than anybody. Would she want you to pull away?

Would she want us to let you?

[Frost] But you have to promise me something, all right?

You will never shut yourself off from me

or the rest of the team, all right?

She'd tell me to stop being an idiot.

Get off my ass and live my damn life.

Hmm.

That does sound like her.

You know, Frost was the voice inside my head

before I even knew she had a name.

She was the one telling me to be brave.

To be strong when I felt weak.

That I was never as powerless as others made me feel.

[sighs]

[crying] And when Frost died, her singing died too.

Her laugh.

[sniffles]

[softly] That voice… That voice that made me whole.

[sniffles]

[crying] So I can't go to the funeral…

because if I do, if I see her in that casket…

[breath trembling]

I'll know that she's gone for good.

[Caitlin sighs]

What if that's not the case?

[softly] What do you mean?

Her voice is still inside you.

As long as that's true…

She's not really gone.

[Barry breathes deeply]

Joe suggested that we all… [exhales] find a way to honor Frost.

It was pretty hard finding my answer.

But you? You just have to listen to her.

So what's Frost saying she wants you to do?

[solemn music playing]

[sighs gently]

Most of you know that I did not want to be here today.

Not at first.

I was afraid that seeing her here would make her death seem more real.

[inhales deeply]

And I was scared.

You see, Frost was always the fearless Snow sister.

Like that time she went swimming with sharks

and picked a fight with a shark.

Or when she was at Jitters for their Slam Poetry open mic night,

and just grabbed the mic

and read a poem she'd scribbled on a napkin five minutes before.

[sighs] See, Frost was always honest.

[crying] And the truth is…

[breath trembling]

I thought that if I saw my sister laying here,

that I would have to say goodbye.

[sniffles]

But then…

a friend of mine reminded me that…

that's not true.

That she lives on in all of us.

Not just in me.

In her selflessness…

[crying] her unique way of seeing the world…

[breathes deeply]

[softly] …and her deep love for her family and friends.

[inhales deeply]

So if we keep those parts of her alive in us,

then she's not really gone.

And I can't think of a better way to honor her memory.

I'll keep you alive, Frost.

I promise.

[somber music playing]

[lighthearted music playing]

[Joe] It normally works.

Dad, what were you thinking?

Bleach takes out stains

and the curtains were dirty. So…

[chuckling] I'm sorry, but no. No.

This whole retirement thing, he's still real new at it.

Look, this is the cleanest spot in the whole house,

and I would have done a whole lot more if Frost hadn't taken

-my cleaning supplies for her collages. -[all chuckling]

Oh, yeah. I still don't know how she carried that stuff

while ice-bridging across town.

She didn't. People were finding sponges and yellow gloves for miles.

Actually, I think Wild Dog uses one of Joe's mops as a bo staff.

-[all laughing] -Really?

This feels good.

Remembering Frost like this.

Your advice worked, Joe.

That had more to do with you than with me.

It was a beautiful eulogy.

More than anything we did to honor Frost, you helped us heal today.

Thanks for putting us back together.

I didn't make it easy on you guys.

So, thanks for telling me what I needed to hear anyway.

-[devices beeping] -[Joe] Ooh.

That Blockbuster jerk's back.

I'll have Kramer call CCPD.

No way. This guy's ours.

Plus, we all wanted a rematch, right?

And this time, we're ready.

Barry?

Tell Kramer to warm a holding cell.

Let's go get this guy.

[whooshes]

I will tell the troops to prepare an early headline.

Hey.

[door opens, closes]

Do you have somewhere to be too?

Nope.

Because I'd love to hear some more stories about Frost.

-I'd like that too. -I'm going to make us some coffee.

Perfect.

[dialing]

Hey. We need to talk.

[whistling]

Hey.

Hey, you know it's rude to keep your guests waiting?

I got a bar I'm supposed to be getting thrown out of right now.

Sorry. I thought I had time for one more supply run before you got here.

Is that a genome sequencer?

-Yes. -And did you steal it?

I borrowed it.

Whatever, Caitlin. Game recognizes game.

Look, you called, I'm here.

What do you want?

Your help.

Oh.

Did you forget to pay your electricity bill?

[thuds, groans]

[suspenseful music playing]

Okay. That's not too creepy or anything.

Caitlin, what is it that you want?

I'm going to bring Frost back.

And you're gonna help me.

[exhales sharply]

[staff member] So, what do you think?

[clicks tongue]

I think we just found tomorrow's front page.

[gasps] Crushed it!

Uh… I mean, thank you.

I will interface with publishing and get this out the door ASAP. [chuckles]

It's okay. Own it.

This is a great article. You should be proud.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I still have a ton of work to do.

It's gonna be a late night.

Sure. [chuckles softly]

By the way, it's really good to have you back from Coast City.

CCC Media was not the same without you.

You guys had Allegra.

I hear she did great filling in.

From who? [laughs]

I'm, uh… I'm gonna leave now.

[chuckles nervously]

But, hey, about the Flash's latest takedown,

I know he worked with Frost,

but there have been reports of him working with other people too.

Only no one knows who they are.

Shouldn't we investigate them?

Hmm, um…

I will think about it.

[groans, clicks tongue]

I forgot my… phone.

Iris?

[suspenseful music playing]

Hmm.

[crackling]
