Quotes 

• Barry Allen : Hey, look, I'm sorry about, um... how I was acting earlier. I just... seeing Nora looking so much like him

  [Thawne] 

  Barry Allen : ...

  Joe West : I get it, Barr. That guy's always gonna be in your head. Mine, too. And you were right. Nora broke the law, and there should be repercussions for that. But whenever you guys step out of bounds, I always have to remind myself... the detective side says "There's the law", but the father side says "There's also what's right". And I'm always gonna choose to be your father first.

• Barry Allen : I was ready to give up on her. You know, I mean, if I'm ready to do that, it makes me feel like... even after everything we've been through, I'm not a good parent. You know, I mean, maybe I never will be.

  Joe West : [laughing]  Come on, Barry. You know that's not true. You're going to be an amazing father.

  Barry Allen : I wanted her to leave. The second that she got here, I did, I... I've held back from her. It... it still doesn't feel right when she calls me "dad".

  Joe West : Well, you didn't call me "dad" 'till... i-it was here, in this room, right after you got your powers. But you know why that was. You already had a dad; Henry. And when the whole world thought that that man was a criminal, Barr, you... you thought he was perfect.

  Barry Allen : Do you think Iris is right? Nora's plan, Thawne's plan, could be a good thing?

  Joe West : I don't trust that man. I never have and I never will. But I do... trust my granddaughter. And if we're gonna bring Nora home, Barr... you're gonna have to trust her, too.

• Nora West-Allen : Holy shrap.

  Brie Larvan : How the hell is this even possible?

  Iris West-Allen : We bypassed security while you were busy with General Cloud. And then you walked us worker bees right inside.

  Joe West : You're outnumbered, ladies. Drop your weapons.

• [Rag Doll climbs out of a garbage can] 

  Joe West : What the hell is that?

  Iris West-Allen : You don't want to know.

• Iris West-Allen : So, what we know is that Nora put together a team to break into here, McCulloch Technologies, a weapons manufacturer.

  Cecile Horton : But not just any weapons. The city has contracted these guys to clean up the shrapnel from the S.T.A.R. Labs satellite.

  Joe West : Let me guess: none of that crap ended up in the dump. They used it to make meta-tech like Spencer Young's phone.

  Iris West-Allen : My source says that McCulloch is debuting a new line of products tonight.

  Joe West : That's a perfect cover-up for a break-in. We have any theory on Nora's motive?

  Iris West-Allen : Actually, Cicada's dagger dampens the abilities of meta-humans nearby, but it wouldn't have any effect on meta-tech. So maybe Nora wants to catch Cicada?

  Barry Allen : Or do something worse.

  Iris West-Allen : Barry, there's no way.

  Barry Allen : This is exactly what I was afraid of, Iris. Thawne's been manipulating her. Now she's acting like him, talking like him.

  Iris West-Allen : That doesn't mean that she's capable of killing Cicada.

  Barry Allen : She's working with Rogues. She kidnapped Cisco and Sherloque. We don't know what she's capable of.

  Joe West : So what do you want to do, Barr?

  Barry Allen : We bring her in. We... we use Cisco's force fields, Ray's nanites. We're... we're bringing her in, before she steps anywhere near that building.

• Iris West-Allen : I just talked to one of the architects here, and G. Simone & Associates used to do all of this high-profile design work; casinos, banks, military bases. But apparently, last year, they had been working with an anonymous client.

  Joe West : So because our thief covered his tracks, we have no idea who that client might be.

  Barry Allen : Hey, look at this. Look at these hard drives. Fried from the inside, like in a massive power surge.

  Joe West : A server like this would have a surge protector, right?

  Barry Allen : A typical metal-oxide varistor protects against a thousand joules.

  Iris West-Allen : How many joules does a lightning bolt have?

  Barry Allen : A billion.

  Joe West : What, you think this was Nora?

  Barry Allen : No, this couldn't have been. I mean, our scanners would've picked her up.

• Cisco Ramon : I just picked up a frak-ton of background particle radiation.

  Barry Allen : Particles? Tachyons?

  Cisco Ramon : Negative tachyons.

  Joe West : That's a thing?

  Barry Allen : I mean, negative tachyons can't generate lightning, right?

  Cisco Ramon : Unless negative tachyons don't just offset positive ones like we thought. Maybe they actually siphon positive tachyons.

  Joe West : Stealing speed from the Speed Force like a parasite?

  Barry Allen : That's what Thawne taught her how to do. She's using negative tachyons to run and avoid our scanners.

  Iris West-Allen : Yeah, but why would Nora be trying to avoid us?

  Joe West : I don't know, but if she's stealing blueprints, this ain't gonna be her last stop.
