Quotes 

• Mirror Master : Why are you here?

  Frost : You know, for funsies.

• Cisco Ramon : What were you thinking? I saw you. You had the time to run her out of the way, and you just stood there like you wanted her to get hit.

  Barry Allen : There was a 0.0002% chance of the Tachyon Enhancer getting damaged in that scenario. I couldn't risk that. I also knew I could reverse any ill effects Frost received from Eva's blast.

  Cisco Ramon : These aren't ill effects! This was a light wound, like the kind that almost killed her, and we just got her back!

  Frost : Cisco, it's okay. I'm fine, and now we have a chance to save our friends. I'd take a hit for that any day.

  Cisco Ramon : [to Barry]  You got lucky with that cocktail.

• Frost : So, superspeed thinking, huh? What's that like?

  Barry Allen : Sometimes it's like a barrage of images flying at me. Others, it's like a scene playing out in my head.

  Cisco Ramon : So what does your speed brain say our next move is?

  Barry Allen : You saw Iris' message. "Eva is watching." She would no doubt see our attempt to open a portal to the Mirrorverse and stop us. I need to find a solution.

  [to Frost] 

  Frost : You should recuperate for 14.2 minutes, then help Cisco gather our McCulloch intel so I can cross-reference it with our Eva data. I need to aggregate.

• Cisco Ramon : Whoa, what are you doing with that footage?

  Barry Allen : Exposing the truth.

  Frost : I don't think that's such a good idea.

• Cisco Ramon : What do you mean we have to choose?

  Barry Allen : Simply put, the longer the person is in the Mirrorverse, the more dark matter photons are required to pull them out. Kamilla and Singh have been trapped for less time. Therefore, they can be retrieved together. With Iris, it would take everything we have to retrieve her.

  Allegra Garcia : Well, there's gotta be another way.

  Frost : Barry, what's your speed brain tell you?

  Barry Allen : We have to choose. Kamilla and Singh or Iris. It is the only way.

  Frost : How the hell are we supposed to do that?

  Allegra Garcia : I guess we vote?

  Frost : On this?

  Allegra Garcia : I don't know, dude. Do you know another way to be fair?

  Frost : [sardonic laugh]  This is beyond screwed up. But if this is the only way... who thinks we should save Iris?

  [Barry raises his hand] 

  Frost : And Kamilla and Singh?

  [she, Cisco, and Allegra, reluctantly, raise their hands] 

  Allegra Garcia : Sorry, Barry. Gotta go with the numbers.

• The Flash : [after Frost injects herself with Velocity-X]  Your defeat is inevitable. The Velocity-X in your system is nearly depleted. Your time as a speedster is coming to an end.

  Frost : Maybe. But I'm not only a speedster.

• Cisco Ramon : Why did you do that?

  Barry Allen : Eva would sense us opening a portal. Now she is too distracted to notice.

  Cisco Ramon : And there couldn't be another way to distract her...

  Barry Allen : There were 141 ways. This was the most efficient.

  Frost : Uh, I'm not sure emotionally wrecking an already-whacked-out villain was "efficient."

  Barry Allen : Historically speaking, when our enemies are upset, which is exactly what I accomplished, they make mistakes. We need to prep the portal machine while Eva is on her heels and then retrieve our targets.

  Cisco Ramon : You mean our friends.

  Barry Allen : One and the same.

  Frost : Cisco?

  Cisco Ramon : I know. Something's seriously wrong with Barry.

• Cisco Ramon : Whatever Eva hit Frost with, it's light-based. Her healing's trying to compensate, but it's not enough. I can't fix this without Caitlin.

  [Barry speeds around the room] 

  Cisco Ramon : What is that?

  Barry Allen : A cure.

  Cisco Ramon : Has it been tested?

  Barry Allen : I ran 2,731 tests in my head. We're good.

  Cisco Ramon : Barry, that is not a...

  [Barry injects Frost] 

  Cisco Ramon : What are you doing?

  Frost : [waking up with a gasp]  What happened?

  Barry Allen : You took the brunt of Eva's laser blast to help us. I just returned the favor with a cryogenically-fortified paracetamol cocktail...

  Frost : That fortified my cellular walls. Yep, that'll do it.

  Cisco Ramon : Of course, you wouldn't have had to take the brunt of the blast if Barry hadn't let you get hit in the first place.

• Frost : [watching Eva on TV]  Why are we watching this?

  Barry Allen : At the stash house, Eva referred to herself as a phantom. It reminded me of Carver's dying words when Eva killed him; that she wasn't his wife. I've analyzed behavioral patterns, body language, even graphological handwriting. That... is not Eva McCulloch.

  Cisco Ramon : What? What do you mean? She's sitting right there, talking to Rachel Maddow 2.0.

  Barry Allen : I slept in the same bed with a mirror duplicate of Iris without knowing the difference. You did the same with Kamilla.

  Frost : So you think this is a mirror Eva?

  Barry Allen : McCulloch's security database will show us.

  Cisco Ramon : Yeah, good luck. I tried hacking them a week ago.

  [seeing Barry get in] 

  Cisco Ramon : What? How... McCulloch's black box servers run a hybrid theorem-proving system with model checking.

  [quietly to Frost] 

  Cisco Ramon : His mind is getting faster.

  Barry Allen : Yes, it is.

  Frost : [watching the security video]  Did she just die?

• Mirror Master : That doesn't belong to you. Then again, it never belonged to my husband, either. It was my reflective chip technology that was twisted to create that weapon, so it's mine to wield or destroy. Now step aside.

  Cisco Ramon : [out of sight with Barry]  You were right. Eva's here, and she's amped.

  Mirror Master : How do you like your phantom now, Joseph?

  Cisco Ramon : Not the day for us to be short-staffed.

  The Flash : Actually, we're good; I called in a little bit of extra muscle.

  Frost : [hitting Eva with an ice blast]  'Sup?

• Cisco Ramon : The babble protocols aren't just force fields and tech. It's us.

  Frost : Sorry for the tough love.

  Allegra Garcia : But we need the real you back.

  Cisco Ramon : Don't worry. We're gonna shut off the Artificial Speed Force and get your head straight.

  The Flash : You lost this fight before it even began.

• Frost : Don't make us do this, Barry.

  The Flash : [activating his cowl]  Iris would agree with me.

  Cisco Ramon : No. She wouldn't.

  [he fires the speed-dampening gun at the Artificial Speed Force; Barry speeds after the bolt and takes the impact] 

  Cisco Ramon : You've just been hit with Velocity-Zero charge. It temporarily dampens your speed. You're not the only one who can predict reactions.
