The group looked at Wally passed out in his pipeline cage from security video. "Wally wasn't himself. He was possessed. Alchemy was calling for him," Iris explained.

"I knew I shouldn't have left," Joe said.

"It's okay, Joe, nothing happened," Barry said.

"He's not okay, Barry. This thing's coming after him, and...and there ain't a damn thing we can do?" Joe asked.

"Well, we stopped Shade. And now we can focus on Alchemy, okay?" Kara said.

"Unless he sends another meta to Central City to attack. Then we're in trouble," Iris said.

"You think Shade was a distraction?" Kara asked her.

"I agree with Iris; I think the attack on Wally and the attack by Shade happened at essentially the same time. So that's not a coincidence," HR said.

"If that's true, that means Alchemy's gonna sending another one of his metas soon," Kara said.

"We don't know that," Barry said.

"Barry, we found six husks. So besides Shade, Magenta, and Clariss, there's still three unaccounted for," Kara said.

"Okay, well, if more come, then we'll stop them. But Alchemy can't get Wally if he stays in the cell," Barry said.

"Barry, we can't just let Wally suffer in there. And besides, burying our head in the sand is not gonna make Alchemy go away," Kara said as Cisco glanced over at Caitlin.

"Ignoring the problem does not get rid of it. You're gonna have to face it. Don't we?" Cisco said, eyeing Caitlin, making everyone confused.

"What?" Kara asked.

"Nothing," Caitlin said.

"Come on, Caitlin," Cisco said.

"Not right now, Cisco," Caitlin said.

"I...just...I can't just keep this in. You have to tell them," Cisco said.

"Tell them what?" HR asked and Caitlin took off the cuffs.

"I have powers," Caitlin said.

"What? What kind of powers?" Iris asked, but then ice particles twinkled off of her hands.

"The cold kind," She said before she put the cuffs back on and looked at Cisco. "Happy now?"

"So, what, we're just gonna keep secrets from each other?" Cisco asked.

"Yeah, well, this wasn't your secret to tell, was it, Cisco?" Caitlin said.

"I did that because I care about you," Cisco said.

"If you cared about me, then you would have let me tell them all when I was ready. Because this is happening to me, not you. I'm the one turning evil. I'm the one who's gonna have to leave soon," Caitlin said before she stormed out and everyone looked at Cisco confused.

"I vibed the two of us fighting each other in the future. She was Killer Frost. I'll go talk to her," Cisco said.

"I got it," Barry said before he walked after Caitlin.

Caitlin was messing with the cuffs when Barry walked up behind her. "How long have you known?" He asked and she looked back behind her, as Barry walked up, sitting across from her.
