reversed your treatments.

No.
It's not your fault, Deon.

I asked you to do it.

There... there was no other way

Yeah, but these anomalies

I mean, who knows what's next?

Well, we have to find a cure.

And we will.

Right now,
we gotta get you stabilized.

I'm sorry,
but you gotta stay put.

Well, I mean, there are
worse places to hang out.

How long do I have to stay?

Well, considering the universe

is like a zillion
light years large,

I'd say staying put
is a relative thing

when it comes
to Earthly movements,

so I'm thinking that
if you confine your movements

to Coast City for a while,
it should lessen the risk.

Or at least I hope so.

Good, because there's still

someone here that needs my help.

What if she has another episode?

Well, I'm gonna have

No, thanks.

keeping everyone safe in
Central City is the priority.

Joe, Cecile,
have you guys found anything?

Uh, well,

besides all suffering
recent personal losses, no.

None of our fire victims
had anything in common.

Yeah, Bar, I triple checked
the victims' files.

Stan Mullen, Donna Winters,

that yoga instructor,
Parker DeStefano.

At first, we thought
all these freaky flames

were feeding on people who
recently mourned,

like Mullens...
- But then it attacked me.

And my dad died
when I was a kid.

Which doesn't
follow the pattern.

Maybe it's looking for people
who don't face their grief.

No, I don't think so.

DeStefano had completed
grief counseling

after her fiancé died,

and she was already
seeing somebody new.

Well, I've assigned
Vanya and Aariz

to dig into the backgrounds
of our victims

for secondary similarities, so.

You sound just like Iris.

No wonder she put you in charge.

Speaking of similarities,

Kramer pulled files for every
suspicious fire-related crime

accelerator exploded,

♪

Frost, it's been a while
since we've caught up.

What's wrong?

It's about
Team Flash's new case.

This one's a little creepy.

Over the last few weeks,
three bodies have turned up,

all of them burnt to a crisp.

So this is an arson case?

Mm, more like a ghost story.

The fires that did the damage
were black,

and so cold that they burned
the victims like frostbite,

only a thousand times
more lethal.

And you need my help

to figure out
what's causing this phenomenon?

Not exactly.

The flames are alive,
and they're attacking people.

And I think
they're coming after me.

My God.
Of course.

I'll do whatever I can
to help keep you safe.

Actually, I need you
to do just the opposite.

I want you to help me catch
this thing using me as bait.

♪

You wanna use yourself as bait

to capture the black fire?

I know how it sounds,
but hear us out.

If this homicidal stuff
is after me now,

why not use it to our advantage?

But Carla, you can't actually
be considering this?

I wasn't at first.

And then Frost laid out
the facts in the case.

How it's killing
innocent people,

and now it's
coming after her too,

with flames that generate
a cold so intense, it burns?

That last item is almost
an exact description

of how cold fusion works.

But why is the fire
attracted to Frost?

I believe it's because
her meta-abilities

are cryo-kinetic,
just like our cold fusion fire.

So you think it's hunting her
for fuel to recharge itself?

Correct.

So the key to catching it

is to wait until it comes after
her again and then trap it.

Frost, we're not
using you as bait.

[sighs]

Look, this is
a perfectly good plan

that could save lives.

Why won't you at least
let us try?

Because this feels
like a last resort.

Besides, there's still so much
we don't know about this fire.

I mean, even if we tried this,

we still
have no way to capture it.

Cold fusion is still
a fusion reaction,

one that occurs
at a low molecular temperature.

If we could build some kind of
fusion containment housing...

Then all we'd need to do
is recalibrate the unit

to absorb and amplify
Frost's cryo-kinetic signature.

Yes. Then as long as Frost
is in proximity,

the unit can amplify
her cryo-kinetic signature

and attract the fire,

allowing us to capture
and imprison it.

Of course,
building a unit like that

could take weeks or longer,
but...

Well, not that I'm saying
we should do this at all,

but we kind of already have
what you're describing.

We do?

The Fusion Sphere
from the A.S.F.

It can already handle
the entire output

of the Artificial Speed Force.

If Dr. Tannhauser and I
recalibrate it

for a cryo-kinetic signature,
we'd be in business.

Great.
Then it's settled.

Chester, you and Mom
work on the nerd stuff.

Allegra, you and I will...

Wait around

Barry, whatever this thing is,

it's coming after me
no matter what,

we have a plan to fight back.

Barry, it's your call.

Ditto that.

'Cause if I know Iris...

She's gonna try

Okay, what next?

Chester, activate
the Cold Fusion Sphere.

[computer chiming]

[sphere thrumming]

Now remember,
the sphere will amplify

your cryo-kinetic signature,
drawing the fire near.

But you need
to stay in the gurney

until the fire
is pulled into that sphere

and we've trapped it.

Okay, so now we just wait around

for some sentient fire
to come get its dinner?

That could take forever.
- Not if Carla's right.

The sphere will amplify

Frost's cryo-signature
exponentially,

like an animal's scent getting
broadcast to a larger area

to entice a predator
and draw them in.

Making Frost honey on a flytrap.

Once it senses her, it'll pounce

If this spooky thing is looking
for fuel instead of just grief,

this is the place to find it.

Also, your bedside manner

We had a chance to stop it,

No, that was before

a judgment call, Frost,

Look, don't worry.

We will stop that thing.

That's what we do.
- Yeah.

Your mom sounds
like she's a fighter.

She is.

She's gonna make a great meta.

Just one thing, though.
We're back to square one.

Joe, Cecile, have you found
anything that can help us

in Captain Kramer's files?

I wish.

We're almost through them all,
and still nothing.

[soft dramatic music]

So we failed?

No, we didn't fail.

Thanks to Frost, now we know

the Cold Fusion Sphere
can contain that thing.

- And that's a win.
- Barry's right.

That means we can try again
to capture it.

And this time, it'll work.

If we could create
a strong enough signal,

the sphere could work

without someone's cryo-kinetic
RNA in close proximity.

Good, so no bait.

Yeah, which shall keep
Frost and Carla safe.

And then we can catch
the fire again.

Take the fight to it this time.
