MacKenzie's POV
We all meet again in the cortex
"Cisco's cerebral scan is clear." Caitlin says, her and Cisco no longer Grodd brained. "Mine is as well. We are both back to normal."
"No more strings on us." Cisco groans, holding his head
"Killer Frost says she's sorry for that ice blast." Caitlin says. "That was Grodd, too. Now she's ready for some payback."
"Yeah, me too." Cisco says. "Do we have a on our Simian Svengali?"
"Data and company are working on it, but Grodd's psychic abilities are helping him conceal his location, so he could be anywhere by now." Nora says
I study the map on the screen
"I thought every square inch of A.R.G.U.S. was supposed to be power dampened hours a day." Barry says to Lyla
"It is." Lyla says
"Then how does an 800-pound gorilla escape?" Barry scoffs
"Let me show you." Lyla says, pulling up a video. "I went through our security footage. This is from the night of May 22nd, 2018."
"That's the night..." Cisco starts
"Of the Enlightenment." Nora finishes
The video shows the power going out
"DeVoe's dark matter wave took down all tech in the surrounding areas. Luckily, our generators kicked in." Lyla says
"But not for a second." Barry says
"One second." Lyla says. "That's all Grodd needed to psychically implant instructions in a guard. Instructions to secretly shut down the power dampeners in his cell, and find out any other information he needed to know."
"So that's why King Shark flipped out?" Caitlin asks. "Because Grodd was trying to mind control him? Likely as a distraction."
"Grodd's only ever controlled human minds before." Nora says
"He must have had a hard time controlling King Shark because of the animal part of his brain." Caitlin says
"So King Shark was trying to resist Grodd's iron will?" Cisco says. "Respect."
"If Grodd's had his powers for a year, why wait until now to escape?" Barry asks
"It's probably no coincidence that the first thing he did was steal the telepathic crown." Lyla says
"Tanya did say she's been working on the crown for a while." Caitlin says. "Grodd probably knew this was his perfect opportunity."
"And it was thanks to our tech." Cisco says
"All right, well, now that Grodd has the crown, what's gonna happen when he uses it?" Barry asks
"It'll amplify his mental abilities a thousand-fold." Caitlin says. "Instead of just being able to mind control a few people at a time..."
"He'll be able to control the whole city." Barry says.

An alarm goes off
"What's happening?" Lyla asks
"Our fuzzy friend is crawling up the Broome Belfry." Cisco says. "What is it with him and that tower?"
"Cause it's at the exact epicenter of the city." Nora says
"Making it the perfect place to broadcast from." I say
