MacKenzie's POV

"We are back in business." Cisco says in the cortex

"And by business, he means the better-than-Sally the satellite business." Ralph says

"And what does that mean?" Nora asks

"That means we're getting closer to identifying the ever-elusive Cicada." Sherloque says in a weird accent

"It's Cicada, Sherloque." Cisco corrects. "Once I hacked DeVoe's satellites--"

"You hacked?" I ask from my spot next to Caitlin

"Yes, I hacked, your hands are broken." Cisco says and I fake a shock gasp. "Whatever. Once the satellite was hacked, all I had to do was just use an impact extrapolation algorithm to predict where the shrapnel would've fallen after Barry and Nora pulled a Johnny Cage on Sally the satellite. May God rest her soul."

"So now we got 46 locations where 46 pieces of shrapnel landed." Ralph says

"And once of these locations is where Cicada will have been injured." Sherloque says

"Except we don't know which one." Iris says

"Or maybe we do." Cisco says. "You see, after my hands got sliced by Cicada's dagger, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, here measured the dark matter in my system."

"And its levels of concentration were higher than any I'd ever seen before." Caitlin says

"Insanely high, and the only part of the satellite that would have dark matter levels that high..." Cisco starts

"Is the core, which is where Cicada's dagger came from." Iris says

"So we find the location of the core and we'll know where Cicada was that night." Barry says

"You know, FEMA set up sites to help people after the Enlightenment." Caitlin says. "If Cicada was injured, maybe he received medical treatment at one of them."

"That's a great idea." Barry says. "I mean, we could check with FEMA to see if any fathers matching Cicada's description reported any injuries near the crash site."

"So, we split up." Sherloque says

"Okay, great. I'm good at tracking things down." Iris says. "So I will try and find the satellite core."

"I will come with you and everybody else look for the names." Sherloque says

"Um, do you mind if I actually come with you too?" Nora asks. "It's just that I saw you jump off a building last week and that was awesome. So I thought maybe I'd come with you while you did some detective work."

"Oh, I think that two people is going to be more than enough for what we need--" Sherloque tries

"What he's trying to say is that we would love to have you come with us." Iris says

"Okay." Sherloque says

Nora walks out with Sherloque and Iris

"All right, well, why don't I talk to FEMA and see if I can get some names." Ralph says

"Hey, I know Joe's been itching to get out of the house, and it might help to have an actual badge." Barry says

"Nobody does case snacks like Joe West." Ralph says. "I'll swing by on the way."

"All right, cool." Barry says

It's just the four of us left

"So, Snow Patrol, what's going on?" Cisco asks Caitlin
