[soft dramatic music]

Deon, what's happening to me?

The temporal mutations
I've been tracking?

It turns out every one
of them leads to you.

I know I've been treating
your time sickness

like it's a virus that's
giving you symptoms.

The gaps in time...



And now I've been noticing that things

are there one minute and
they're gone the next.

There's something about you

that's causing time
to fracture around you.

Iris, this isn't a virus that you have.

Whatever this time sickness is...

It's coming from me.



[dramatic music]



What is it?



What's wrong?



How do you feel right now?

Well, I mean, that's what's so weird.

I feel fine.

And this is all because

of what happened in the other timeline?

Yeah.

I should've never
reversed your treatments.

No. It's not your fault, Deon.

I asked you to do it.

And it was the right thing to do.

There... there was no other way

to prove Barry's innocence

and to save my dad's life.

Yeah, but these anomalies
you're experiencing?

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 to do something

a little more radical
this time to patch you up.

Look, I won't lie to you guys.

This is gonna hurt.

[suspenseful music]



Ah!

[gasping]

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Iris, if you have any blackouts
or anything weird happens,

you let me know ASAP.



Okay, I'm gonna go grab a
few of my things from home.

I'll be back in a few seconds.

No, no, Barry, you can't.

I mean, remember what you
said about that black fire.

There are people that
are still in danger.

- You have to stop it.
- But I can't just leave you here alone.

I'm not. I mean, Sue will be back soon.

And besides, I mean,
I have work to do too.

Your whole world is falling apart

and you're still worried
about helping other people.



Okay, just call me if you need anything.

I will.

Okay.

[whooshing]

[dramatic music]



What the hell?



- Is Iris okay?
- Yeah.

I mean, you know, as well as she can be.

Well, Barry, are you
sure you don't wanna...

I mean, Team Flash
can hold down the fort

if you need to be with her.

No, thanks. Iris is right.

I mean, as long as she's stable,

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 att*cked me.

And my dad d*ed 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 d*ed,

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

since the particle accelerator exploded,

so me and Cecile have
to go through all of it.

And there's a ton. So you ready, babe?

Mm. Later.

[soft dramatic music]



[chiming and buzzing]

[dramatic music]

What's an SR Alert?

Someone just entered the Med Lab.

Well, is Caitlin back

from her wine country tour with Marcus?

No, not yet. Stay here.



Hey.

Any idea where Caity keeps the bandages?

It seems more like a top shelf
kind of thing, if you ask me.

What... what happened to your arm?

Oh, a freaking fire
att*cked me at the apartment.

And before you ask,

no, I don't know why it didn't k*ll me.

- Were you...
- Grieving? Nope.

I was perfectly happy
working on a new piece.

Could be the best thing I've ever done.

But that does not explain

why our sentient Smokey
Joe would att*ck me.

And only leave me with this.

- Ow.
- Frost, come here.

Let me help.

Ah.

You make a good Caity substitute.

Maybe it's like Joe says.

There's gotta be something more.

It's after something we're missing.

Something I have?

I don't know.

But, I mean, this fire att*cked you

and me here at S.T.A.R. Labs

and then follows you home
less than hours later?

That... you know, it
can't be a coincidence.



So if we can figure out

why the flames think
I'd be a tasty snack...

Maybe that could tell us how to stop it.

Frost, if it's okay,

I'd like to search your
apartment top to bottom,

see if there's any clues as to
why the fire's targeting you.

- Go for it.
- Okay.



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 b*rned
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 k*lling 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 for you to get k*lled?

Barry, whatever this thing is,

it's coming after me no matter what,

so I'm not gonna sit around

and do nothing when we
have a plan to fight back.

Barry, it's your call.

Ditto that.

I'm sorry, but I can't support this.

I know we don't have
another plan right now,

but putting you in harm's way?

Look, there's gotta be another option.

[dramatic music]



I still think this could work.

Get started. I'll be back.



[sighs]



Look, I'm not gonna change my mind.

Okay, fine. But just hear me out.

Before this,

you were telling us about
Iris and her condition.

How she wants to help Tinya,

but Deon told her to stay put.

Do you really think that's
what she's doing right now?

'Cause if I know Iris...

She's gonna try and
help Tinya find her mom.

Instead of sitting in a hotel,

doing nothing and helping no one.

But she's not endangering
herself, either.

But she is doing what
this whole team does best:

helping people, despite what
it could mean for themselves.

[soft dramatic music]

Sound familiar?

Look, my mom is the world's
top specialist in cold fusion

and she thinks this will work.

Chester agrees.

So why won't you give me the
chance to make a difference

that you're giving Iris?



Okay.

[dramatic music]

But if anything goes wrong...

You'll pull the plug. Got it.



Yes!



I've finished fine-tuning the sphere

to amplify Frost's
cryo-kinetic signature.

Now, make sure to calibrate
the containment housing...

To compensate for the possibility

of a reconfiguration flip
at the subatomic level.

Already done.

Really?

Well, when this is over,

there's a job waiting for
you at Tannhauser Labs.

[whispering] Spoiler: I pay better.

For real? [chuckles]

[soft dramatic music]

I mean... I mean, nah.

No, I actually kinda like it here.

Suit yourself.

We're ready. Frost?



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

and then we got it.

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

this is the place to find it.

Frost... [sighs]

About what you're doing,

I don't know if I'd have
the strength to do the same.

I mean, I'm...

I'm just saying you're very brave.

Thanks.

Although right now,

kinda feel like the stupid
person in the horror movie

who runs into the house
instead of running away from it.

[dramatic music]

Uh, folks, our
intelligent ignition source

just popped back up on the grid
and it's heading here, fast.

[electricity crackling]

Somebody turned up the heat.

It's here.



It's working.



Why'd it stop?

Something's not right.

[suspenseful music]

What are you waiting
for? Come and get me!



It knows what we're planning.



Frost!



[suspenseful music]



Thank goodness you're all right.



We're lucky your boss is a superhero.

- Is she gonna be okay?
- I'm fine.

I thought you were on vacation.

I was, and then Allegra called

and said you were using yourself as bait

to summon an uncontrollable
fire to S.T.A.R. Labs?

What the hell were you thinking?

That we could end this
and save folks' lives?

Also, your bedside manner is terrible.

Frost, she's right.
We're worried about you.

Barry says you antagonized the flames.

Was that part of your plan too?

I mean, it didn't take the bait.

What else was I supposed to do?

Okay, what happened out there

after the Babadook Blaze went postal?

Once we got you back to the Med Lab,

I did a grid search of the entire city.

There's no sign of it.

We need to get back out there.

What we need to do is find

another way to stop this thing.

Frost, we know how
dangerous this thing is.

I mean, it's k*lled three
people already that we know of.

It came after me. Again. We can do this.

I hear the Cold Fusion
Sphere didn't even work.

More precisely,

we never had a chance
to see if it would work.

The fire hesitated, so it
didn't get close enough.

If only there was a way

to make Frost more
attractive to the flames.

Sounds like something
Chester can help us with.

I'll have him meet us in the Speed lab.

Sit down.



Can I have the room, please?

You, stay.



I don't understand.

You said over the phone

that you could give me
the information in person.

I'm sorry, Mrs. West-Allen.

- You said you'd fix this.
- And I will.

Look, I've worked
stories like this before

and I've never had a problem.

I know, but after your call,

I checked the files in question.

Turns out there's a
no-contact rule in play.

Wait, you mean someone doesn't want me

to find my own birth mother?

Uh, who? I wanna know right now!

Okay. Tinya, hi.

Why don't you just give us a few minutes

so that we can work things out?

All right, she's my mom. All right?

I have a right to know the truth!

[soft buzzing]



Okay.



Look, is there anyone we could talk to

about overriding a no-contact order?

No one.

I mean, I'd need approval
from our Board of Directors

for something like that.

Oh, is that all? I got this.

[quirky music]

Hi, Uncle Leroy.

Yes, it's Sue.

Yeah, I'm in town for the day.

Oh, yeah, I am so glad that you asked.

I just need a little favor

from the R.A.A. chairman of the board.

Yes, it's a no-contact
order. It's really important.

I'm trying to help an orphan.

I know, just like you. [chuckles]

It's for you.



Yes, sir?

Of course.

No problem.

Thank you.

Yeah? Okay.

Just a sec.

[soft dramatic music]



Sorry about that.

Oh, no. No. No problem.

You were just doing your job.

Thanks.

Thank you.



[sighs] I need a break.

[gasps]

[dramatic music]



Okay, ready for the next step?

How about I go pull up the car?

[mouths words]

What's wrong?

I thought this is what you wanted.

[soft music]

Um, what if my mom
doesn't want to meet me?



She will.

Iris, she gave up on me
the moment I was born.

So what if nothing's changed?



Tinya, look, when I was your age,

my mom wasn't in my life either,

and there was so much trauma around it.

All the lies I had been told,

the feelings of abandonment,
how much it hurt.

And it got so bad that when
I finally had the chance

to reconcile with my mom, I
almost lost the opportunity.



And then someone made me realize

that reconnecting with my
mom, no matter how or why,

was a gift.



And let me tell you,

I am really glad that
I listened to them,

because I barely got to heal
my relationship with my mother

before she passed.



Oh. Um...

Hey, I'm really sorry.
I didn't know that...

No, no, it's okay.

I'm just saying that
I almost made a mistake

that I would have regretted
for the rest of my life.

How did you do it? I mean,
where did you even start?

I told her I was scared.
I told her I was angry.

And also, that I...

loved her even though I didn't know why.



And Tinya, whatever you do,
everything is gonna be okay,

'cause you're not gonna do it alone.

I won't let you.



Come on.



Frost, why do you keep doing this?

You need to stop putting your
personal safety in danger for nothing.

Like when you stabbed
yourself just to get

Chillblaine arrested that first time.

That turned out okay. This will too.

You don't know that. Damn it, Frost.

It's like you don't
even care about yourself.

I'm trying to help people.

Right, okay, but at some point,

you need to realize that you
could also get yourself k*lled.

And then you need to think,

"Hmm, maybe I shouldn't do this.

Or, "Hmm, maybe I should
come up with a different plan,

one that doesn't get me k*lled."

And you. Mom, seriously.

How could you go along with this?

Frost's powers presented an opportunity

to take this thing off the streets,

and that's where our
focus has been ever since.

You put her life at risk.
You realize that, right?

Because she asked me to.

- And that makes it okay?
- Hey!

Hey, we made a decision today
to try to protect people.

I would think that you
would be fine with that.

What I am not fine with

is losing Frost forever,

which is what could have happened today.

You used your child
as bait for a monster.

Well, that's not how I see it.

No, you don't, because you're

looking at Frost as a science experiment

instead of as your daughter.

[soft tense music]

Frost, please listen to me.

You need to learn to
value your own life.



Carla, you still think
that fusion globe will work?

Yes, if we can find a way

to make sure it gets closer next time.

Great. I'll have Chester
start working on it.

Frost, wait. I...



Our plan will work.



You better hope it does.

Because right now,
you have two daughters.

But if something happens to Frost

because of something
you helped her with,

you'll have none.



[soft dramatic music]



Bar, I ran into Carla Tannhauser.

She told me about her plan
to stop these devil flames.

Mm-hmm.

And your objection.

Yeah.

You wanna tell me your side?

Because I'm pretty sure
I'm not the only one

that wants to get these
damn things off the street.

Look, I know why she's doing this,

and she's not wrong.

If there's something
out there hurting people,

then we need to do
everything we can to stop it.

Right. So what's the problem?

She's found a way to use Frost's powers

to lure the black fire here

by boosting Frost's powers to trap it.

And that's a bad plan because...

It's too dangerous.

I mean, Frost has
already been hurt once.

If we try this again, something
even worse could happen.



That's not all you're
concerned about, is it?

I mean, my gut told
me this was a bad idea.

I should have listened to it.

And now you're worried about

not being able to stop it

because these things were set in motion?

I'm... I'm team leader.

Having a plan that keeps
everybody safe is my job.

Only today, I don't know how.

And now our only solution

is putting a team
member's life in jeopardy.

Mm.

Are you talking about Frost or Iris?



Mm-hmm.

I'm worried about her too.

But you were the one who also
left your wife in Coast City

asking the same question
you're asking about Frost.

Is it safe for her to continue
her mission or pull the plug?

Look, I'm not the boss here,

so I can't make the decision for you.

But I can tell you this.

Sometimes, the hardest
part about being a leader

is letting go

and trusting the ones you've trained

to make the call themselves.

And then you be there for
them in a blink of an eye.




Took you long enough. Jeez.

Where's Chester? We
got a lot of work to do.

He's not coming.

Frost, I talked to Caitlin.

Oh, let me guess.

She changed your mind. So what?

Now you're here to give
me some sort of mom talk?

- Seriously?
- Yes, I am.

Because I am your mom,

and it's time I start acting like it.

Frost, I think it's wonderful

that you have such a strong
instinct to protect people.

But from what Caitlin
shared and what I saw

with my own eyes today, I...
I think your sister's right.

You need to stop being so reckless.

You don't get it. This is Team Flash.

Protecting people? Kinda
in the job description.

No, youdon't get it.

You can't help anyone if you're dead.

[groans] I swear sometimes
you remind me of your father.

Oh, a murderous psychopath? Gee, thanks.

No, not Icicle. Thomas.

Your father would do whatever it took

to protect his family too,

including creating you to save Caitlin.

But he took it too far,
and it cost him a future

with the people who loved him the most,

and I don't wanna see
you go down that road.

Neither do I.

Look, you people think I
have some sort of death wish

or something, but it's not that.

I was literally born
to be Caity's bodyguard.

Asking me not to jump
in the line of fire,

it's like asking the sky
not to be freaking blue.

[scoffs]

Frost, you're more than a bodyguard.

You're an incredible young woman

and a vital part of Team Flash.

And of the Snow family too.

Because you're my daughter.



And as your mother, it's
my job to protect you,

which is why I'm telling you

there's a time for protecting others

and there's a time for
protecting yourself.

And now is the time to do the latter.



I... I should have seen it
before and I hope you do now.



Yeah, I do.



[sighs]

But what about the Phantom Flicker?

I still think your plan would work.

We just need to keep you safe,

so the way to do that is
to trap the fire quickly.

I think if we add a secondary
cryo-kinetic signature,

it would make the meal more appetizing.

- Like frosting on a cake?
- Mm.

But I'm unique. No one
has cryo powers like me.



I do.



After your fa... after Icicle

put me in his cryo-chamber,

Caitlin and I did a test

for any residual meta-genome
signatures in my body.

Yeah, I remember. It came back negative.

Mm. It was wrong.

According to my research,

my exposure in Icicle's chamber
activated a latent cryo-gene.

I don't have ice powers yet,

but I have the potential for them.

[scoffs softly]

Frost, if we combine

your cryo-kinetic signature with mine...

It would be impossible
for it to resist us.

Yes, and there'll be less risk

because the fire won't hesitate

and we'll be able to trap it quickly.

[sighs]

What do you say?

I'm in.

There's just one more person
we need to get on board.

Not anymore.

I'm still not thrilled with
how dangerous this plan is,

but Mom's right.

If the two of you work together,

the fire won't hesitate,
and then we can trap it.

And that will keep everyone safe.



[alarm blaring]

Guys, the black fire's back.

It just landed downtown.

Yeah, so whatever you guys are gonna do,

it's now or never.

Okay.

Let's take this thing
out once and for all.

How long have you known?

That I have my own
cryo-kinetic signature?

For a while now.

Turns out it runs in the family.

Can't believe you didn't tell us

there's two ice queens
in the Snow family.

And if you ever need to learn more about

how to control your
powers, we're here for you.

Thanks. It means a lot.

- Now, let's get to work.
- Yes.

[dramatic music]

Okay, we're ready.

And Mom, just so you know,

the tests I ran confirm your findings.

Your latent genome plus Frost's
meta-signature should amplify

the sphere's cryo-kinetic
output exponentially.

Giving our bonfire from hell
an offer it can't refuse.

And then some.

Listen, Barry,

I know you've never been
on board with this plan.

So if anything goes wrong...

I know, you'll pull the plug.

I trust you. All of you. Don't worry.

If it comes to that,

I'll still be ready to get us
all out of here in a second.



Do you do this kind
of thing all the time?

- Do what?
- Be a hero.

What can I say? It's a living.

Yeah, they just don't tell
you how intense it can be.

You're gonna do great.

And remember, what you're
doing will save lives.

I know.

And after this, we can get dinner.

[chuckles] Okay, but
only if you let me buy.

- Absolutely.
- Okay.



Okay, your vitals look good.



Activating the sphere.



[sphere thrumming]

Okay, focus on your powers.

Like this.



Oh, I feel strange.

That means you're doing it right.

Okay.



Caitlin, how are they doing?

Their bio signatures are in sync.

Okay, well the containment
system's active.

Chester?

Oh, great Otis Boykin.

It just changed direction.

And heading straight for us.

Contact in five,

four,

three,

two,

one.



[dramatic music]



It's working.



[computer chiming]

[panting]



[yelps]



[snarling]



[alarms beeping]

The sphere's losing its integrity.

It's trying to break
free. We have to abort!

No, no, I can do this.

- [bestial snarling]
- [gasps]

Barry, we can't do this.

She's going into cardiac arrest.

Carla, we have to let it go!

No, it's worth it to sacrifice me.



- What happened?
- It's gone again.

And we still have no idea why.

[soft dramatic music]



- Did we get it?
- No.

And that's okay.



[ominous music]



So you just let that hellfire go?

It's on me. I made the call.

And it was the right thing to do.

You put Carla and your own safety first.

- And you saved Mom's life.
- But Joe's right.

We had a chance to
stop it, and we didn't.

No, that was before I knew you made

a judgment call, Frost, and a good one.

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.



I'm telling you, I'm okay. Really.

- Caity says you need to rest.
- Fine, I'll stay the night.

But then I promise I'll be out
of your hair in the morning.

It's really no problem.

Also, I'm sorry I yelled at you two.

Don't be. I needed to hear it.

Both of us did.

Thank you for keeping us safe.

Like you always do. [chuckles]

Good thing too, 'cause
I couldn't lose you.

Either one of you.

[phone buzzing]

Oh, sh**t, it's Marcus.

He has no idea what happened today.

What happened to going all in?

Yeah, I really do need
to tell him everything,

just not tonight.

Hey, no, I'm fine.

Just crazy day at work. How are you?

[door closes]

[sighs]

So about that dinner we
were supposed to have,

how about we make it
brunch in the morning?

[chuckles] Absolutely.

And Frost, I...

I need to apologize too.

I should have told you
about my condition sooner.

I just...

I guess I was just worried about

what it could mean for me.



Maybe if we talked more,

you would have felt more
comfortable sharing it with me.



[sighs] Yeah.

It's okay. Something to work on.

Yeah.



[sighs]

I've missed so much of your life,

and that's my fault.



There's so much about
you that I don't know,

and so much that I want to know.

- Really?
- Yes, of course.

It's like I said before.
You're my daughter.



And I love you, Frost.

- You do?
- [chuckles]

More than you could ever know.



You're okay.

Can I help you?



Are you Renee Wazzo?

Who's asking?



Your daughter.



[sighs softly]



All the adoption websites
warn you about days like this.

That's not what...

I mean, it's just...

I guess I knew this
might happen eventually.

Maybe even wanted it.



Yeah, me too.



Look, I'm sure you
have so many questions.

Just one, actually.



Um...

why didn't you want me?



I always wanted you, Tinya.

I want you to know that.

The truth is I wanted to be
your mom more than anything,

but I was so young.

I was and confused, and
my parents were furious.

They convinced me that the
best thing for both of us

was to sign that clause,
then give you away.



They were wrong.



I swear to you, I've never
regretted anything more

than letting you go.



The only way I could get through

this crap life of mine that came after

was the hope that you
were living a good life.



A better life without me.



Well, I'm not.

I needed you.



I needed my mother.



Tinya, I...

- [gasps]
- [shrill notes]

- Iris?
- [groaning]

Whoa. What is wrong with her?

I don't know.

- Are you okay?
- [grunts]

[ominous music]



What the hell?



Mom?

Mom?

Mom!

[gasps]

What did you do to my mom?



[electricity crackles]

[soft ominous music]

Frost?



Frost, that isn't funny.



[whooshing]

[snarling]



Cait, Cait, Cait...
the world's different now.

There is no normal life for us.

Oh, my God.

Cait, the world's different now.

Look, I thought we could get away,

start a normal life together,

but there is no normal life for us.

[dramatic music]

Ronnie?

[snarling]
