Quotes 

• Cisco Ramon : The satellite scans say there are no traces off Thawne's negative tachyons to be found in any organic matter on the planet. As for Nash, Cecile confirmed that she didn't feel any of Thawne's energy inside.

  Barry Allen : According to three-dimensional imaging, Nash's brainwaves are Thawne-free.

  Cisco Ramon : I guess this means S.T.A.R. Labs has successfully completed its very first exorcism.

  Barry Allen : Thawne's gone. For now.

  Cisco Ramon : Right. Thawne's tachyons might've dissipated, but they weren't destroyed.

  Barry Allen : Which means he's not dead. Just formless.

  Cisco Ramon : He's probably out there looking for another body right now, like a red-eyed, pissed-off Voldemort.

• Sunshine : Come out, come out, wherever you are.

  [windows shutter around the lab rendering her powers useless] 

  Sunshine : No.

  Barry Allen : Yep. You're helio-kinetic. So without the sunlight, you're just an ordinary thief. Limits suck, don't they?

• Caitlin Frost : So, at first glance, Nash's brainwaves seem totally normal. No anomalies or inconsistencies. But when I looked at them in 3D, it appears that there are multiple brainwaves intricately tangled together.

  Barry Allen : When the Multiverse collapsed in Crisis all of the Wellses must have channeled into the only surviving doppelganger.

  Cisco Ramon : Multiple psyches camped out in Nash's brain. It's like Tyler Durden times a thousand.

  Harrison 'Nash' Wells : Tyler Durden. Great reference. "First rule of fight club is..."

  Cisco Ramon : Kay, can we not talk about "Fight Club"?

  Harrison 'Nash' Wells : Yeah, that's it.

• Caitlin Frost : So how many Wells are we talking about here? How many universes were there in the multiverse?

  Harrison 'Nash' Wells : What?

  Barry Allen : Okay, what, no, this doesn't make any sense. I mean, Thawne wasn't even a real Wells. He killed Harrison Wells, took over his body, and fooled us for months.

  Harrison 'Nash' Wells : This is a psychopath we're talking about that is trying to take over my body! Let's get him out before he resurfaces! Come on!

  Caitlin Frost : I mean, there's no medical procedure or device that could separate brainwaves.

  Harrison 'Nash' Wells : Not on this stupid Earth there's not, but hello, Multiversal traveler, anyone? Right? I have a neuro-splicer here in my bag. Can you-can you get it please? Will work just fine. Actually help me out stop an invasion of psychic starfish on Earth 26.

• Harrison 'Nash' Wells : It was my fault. She only did what I taught her to do. It was my fault. It was my fault.

  Barry Allen : Nash has taken control of his pain.

  Eobard Thawne : No.

  Barry Allen : You can't feed off of him anymore.

  Eobard Thawne : No.

  Barry Allen : It's over, Thawne.

• Eobard Thawne : [taunting Barry about Nora]  All you did was stifle her abilities. You were an awful father to her.

  Barry Allen : I miss my daughter every day. But I'm done letting that give you power over me.

• Barry Allen : Sunshine re-opened Frost's wound from Dr. Light's photon bullet. Her ice healing's working overtime. This is my fault. If I had just listened to Caitlin and stayed behind.

  Joe West : Hey, you had a glitch in your speed back there, didn't you?

  Barry Allen : I used Velocity-X to boost my powers, but my body rejected it. Caitlin warned me it could happen.

  Joe West : Look, I know you don't like taking a back seat, but until you can manage your powers, Barry...

  Barry Allen : I know. I have to be more careful.

• Barry Allen : Do we know anything about Sunshine?

  Joe West : Only that she can disappear in sunlight and melt steel.

  Iris West-Allen : [entering]  Her name is Millie Rawlins. Kamilla took a photo before we got out of Mercury Labs. We ran it through S.T.A.R. Labs' facial recognition and got a hit at the Department of Defense's database.

  Joe West : Ex-military, special ops.

  Iris West-Allen : She, uh, was transferred to the covert division after the particle accelerator explosion left her with the meta ability to bend sunlight. Her call sign was Sunshine.

• Barry Allen : You think that Nash and I are limited by our emotions. But you're wrong. They give us our strength, and we can use them to overcome anything. Including you. That's your greatest flaw, Thawne. Metas are the ones with limits. Not people. Not me. And not Nash.

• Cecile Horton : Is that Allegra?

  Cisco Ramon : No, it's a doppelganger. Maybe that's why Nash hung around so much. Allegra reminds him of someone he knew.

  Cecile Horton : [connecting the dots]  Reminds him... reminds him! Everything that he's been feeling, all of his emotions, they remind me of how I feel when I think about Joanie or Jenna. It's... it's almost parental. But it's not just that, it's mixed with the feeling that I had in '95 when my mom passed away. Grief. Oh, my god, Cisco. I think that Nash is caught up in-in... in a loop, and it's made out of remorse and sadness.

  Cisco Ramon : Negativity.

  Cecile Horton : I think that Allegra's doppelganger died.

  Cisco Ramon : What could be more painful than the loss of a child? Cecile, if you're right, then Thawne is holding Nash in the memory of her death.

  Barry Allen : [entering]  That's why Nash has to be the one to expel Thawne. We're gonna help him.

  Cisco Ramon : The M.A.D. 2.0.

  Barry Allen : We used it to get inside the Thinker's mind. This time we're going inside Nash's, and together, we'll force Thawne out from the inside.

• Barry Allen : Shouldn't that thing be at CCPD in evidence lockup?

  Joe West : Well, if Carver's trying to get this, we can't risk his mole gaining access. I put in a call to A.R.G.U.S. Until they have it in their custody, I'm not letting it out of my sight.

  Iris West-Allen : Well, we... we could keep it here at S.T.A.R. Labs for the time being.

  Barry Allen : If Sunshine is as ruthless as Dr. Light and Ultraviolet, then she's coming after that Refractor again, and if she shows up at S.T.A.R Labs, the Flash isn't gonna be able to do anything to stop her. Let A.R.G.U.S. take it.

  Iris West-Allen : [watching him leave]  Barry's right about Sunshine. What if she strikes during the transfer to A.R.G.U.S.?

  Joe West : Let me worry about that. Go see after your husband.

• Barry Allen : Caitlin, I... I need to apologize. I didn't follow your advice, and... and you got hurt because of me. I'm sorry.

  Caitlin Frost : It's okay, Barry. I'm on the mend. Feeling better already.

  Barry Allen : So, we're okay?

  Caitlin Frost : Always.

• Caitlin Frost : Guys, are we sure creating an artificial Speed Force is the way to go? I mean, anyone who came in contact with Thawne's Speed Force got hurt.

  Barry Allen : Ours will be different.

  Cisco Ramon : Yeah, but we still don't even know where to start.

  Barry Allen : Actually, I do. Every time Thawne tried to hurt me using Nora's memory, really what he did was reminded me how much I loved her. Made me realize that she's the answer.

  Caitlin Frost : [he shows them a leather-bound book]  Nora's journal?

  Barry Allen : Thawne taught Nora how to build a Speed Force. Now she can teach us.

• Harrison 'Nash' Wells : Team Flash! It's your pal, Nash. Let me out!

  Caitlin Frost : Guys, are we sure that's Nash?

  Cisco Ramon : Or Thawne playing possum?

  Barry Allen : Let's find out.

• Cisco Ramon : I've officially hacked every quantum kinematic database on the planet. You know what I found out about artificial Speed Forces? Thawne built one, and that's it. And I doubt he's gonna tell us, seeing as how he's Linda Blaired our pal Nash and, you know, he kinda wants to murder the hell out of us.

  Barry Allen : If Thawne can figure it out, then so can we.

• Caitlin Frost : It's a meta robbery at Mercury Labs.

  Barry Allen : Okay, I'll meet you there.

  Caitlin Frost : No, Frost and I can handle this. You need to stay here and conserve your speed. Doctor's orders.

  Barry Allen : But, Caitlin, I...

  Caitlin Frost : [her eyes ice over]  Doctor's orders.

• Barry Allen : You want Nash, you're going to have to go through me.

  Eobard Thawne : Aren't you a glutton for punishment. Always there to bear witness to the death of someone you're trying to desperately save.

• Eobard Thawne : Oh, look at us, Flash. Two peas in a pod. Just two speedsters frustrated by the limits of their speed.

  Barry Allen : I'm nothing like you.

  Eobard Thawne : No, I'm the one who's gonna get his speed back. When I do, when I gain control of this body, when I reconnect to my Speed Force, you... you're gonna be too weak to stop me, aren't you? Just like you were powerless to save your daughter. I miss my Little Runner.

  Barry Allen : Nora was never yours.

  [vibrating his hand] 

  Eobard Thawne : Do it. Do it. I wonder, how much speed will you have left after I'm gone?

• Caitlin Frost : You can't be here, Barry.

  Barry Allen : Why not?

  Caitlin Frost : Because your Speed Gauge registered a massive loss of speed, which means not only does using your powers affect it, but so does your anger.

  Barry Allen : Caitlin, I'll be fine, all right? A-A-And if I need more speed, I'll use a booster like Velocity-X.

  Caitlin Frost : Oh, great, so you're just gonna start taking speed steroids now? Barry, every test we've run says that physiologically, you have changed drastically, so we have no idea what Velocity-X would do to you. It could hurt you, it could hurt others.

  Barry Allen : Other people are already hurt. I mean, we-we have no idea what Thawne is doing to Nash right now.

  Caitlin Frost : And he could do even more damage to you if he gets under your skin again. Look, I know this is hard for you, but you need to leave. You can't trust yourself around him.

  Barry Allen : What you mean is you can't trust me around him.

• Barry Allen : I checked the footage. Thawne only went to the Starchives, nowhere else. How's Nash?

  Caitlin Frost : Better, now that you're not trying to kill him. Were you really gonna do it?

  Barry Allen : I don't know.

• Barry Allen : If Thawne gets his powers back, I won't be able to stop him. Just like I can't stop Sunshine.

  Iris West-Allen : Well, maybe the Flash can't stop them, but... Barry Allen can. I mean, so what the Flash can't run as fast as he used to? Barry Allen was taking down villains long before the Flash came along. Barry, you are just as much of a hero as the Flash. That's why the city gave you the medal of honor. I mean, are you really gonna let CCPD handle Sunshine by themselves?

  Barry Allen : I don't see how I can help them without my speed.

  Iris West-Allen : Barry, it's like you're stuck on this idea that the Flash is supposed to be limitless, but metas are the ones that have limits. I mean, think about it. Where would the Ringmaster be without his rings? Or Cicada without that dagger? Even Reverse-Flash and Sunshine, they... they have their limits. You just have to figure out what they are.

  Barry Allen : [getting an idea]  You're right. Sunshine does have limits. I have to find Joe.

• Caitlin Frost : The Speed Force may be gone, but there's still a residual amount of speed left in your DNA.

  Cisco Ramon : And until we figure out how much, we need to manage your speed output.

  Barry Allen : How do we do that?

  Cisco Ramon : [handing him what looks like a watch]  I call it the Speed Gauge.

  Caitlin Frost : It will measure the intensity of the velocity you're using by color. So, right now, it's black. That's neutral; means you're not using any speed at all. If you're using a minimal amount, that's green. The yellow is next, then orange, and obviously red is the maximum amount. At this point, I don't recommend operating beyond green. And we're not just talking about running, okay? Uh, uh... speed thinking...

  Cisco Ramon : Speed healing.

  Caitlin Frost : Flashtime. All of these things could deplete your meta abilities. You have to be careful.

  Barry Allen : Guys, it's not that simple. I-I'm supposed to keep the city safe.

• Barry Allen : You sure you're okay, Chief?

  Chief David Singh : Yeah, I got a hard head. Just ask my husband.
