"Thing we're gonna do to get Killer Frost to appear, get that massive spike in your adrenaline production that we need, is, Ramon is gonna use his vibes to shake you up on the cellular level, and let's see if we can't get your old friend Killer Frost to come out to play." Harry explained as he attached something to Caitlin.

"Are you sure this is gonna work?" Iris questioned

Well, I mean, like any hypothesis, you have to test it to get an answer. It's what we've all done since the fourth grade, known as the..." Harry paused.

"Scientific method?"

"Right you are, Allen! Of course. Ah, here he is. Okay, good. So get in position." Harry motioned to Cisco as Cisco whispered something to Caitlin.

"Ramon, you set?" Cisco nodded. "Snow, you ready?"

"I'm ready."

"Three, two, one, and..." Harry counted down. Cisco shot a blast at her, but nothing happened.

"nothing. All right. Ramon, more power." Harry instructed. "Set? Three, two, one..." The same thing happened again.

"All right, this isn't working. You know what, Ramon? Full power."

"Wait, hold on, hold on. What do you mean, full power? We don't want to blast Caitlin across the speed lab." Barry complained.

"We are not hurting her." Anna said sternly.

"Well, you need to get a spike in her adrenaline."

"Harry, she could get injured." Iris added.

"God, this is... Look, this is gonna work, okay? Nothing has changed. All right? Snow's DNA tests, they confirm it. Her meta-DNA was not spliced by Noah's powers." Harry said.

"You mean Melting Point's powers."

"Right, that's what I said. Melting Point's powers."

"No, you didn't."

"I did say that."

"But, Harry, there's no dark matter in her system anyway. We're just trying to spike her heart rate." Barry noted.

"What do you mean, there's no dark matter?"

"Harry, you knew that. We all did." Iris noted.

"We did? We did. No, I know. I just, I think I just, you know, forget. I forgot."

"You forgot?"

"Harry, are you okay?" Caitlin questioned.

Harry sighed as Cisco spoke up. "No. He's not."





"Harry, you're..." Caitlin started as they stared at a screen in the speed lab.

"Losing my intelligence? Yes. The injection of dark matter from the Thinking Cap apparently overwhelmed my synapses. Instead of making my brain faster, it's... slowing it down."

"Why didn't you tell us this sooner?" Barry asked.

"How long until..." Iris trailed off.

"No way of knowing. I mean, there are days I can think clearly and other days... I... I can't."

"The good news is, um, from what I can see, the regression seems to be reversible." Cisco noted.

"Okay, great. I'll start working on it full-time." Caitlin suggested.

"No, you won't. I did this to myself, and I-I thought "Oh, you know what? "Use that Thinking Cap, and then I can outthink Devoe and then stop DeVoe." I was wrong. Now here we are." Harry explained.
