Quotes 

• Dr. Tanya Lamden : I can't love Shay. He's my dead husband's doppelganger from Earth-2. How crazy would I have to be to fall in love with him?

  Sherloque Wells : No crazier than marrying the same woman from five different Earths... I know. I'm very good at marrying people, but not so great at staying married. Along the way, though, on these countless Earths and countless doppergangers, I learned there is one thing that makes all of us unique. And it that is what you fell in love with, well then, perhaps a face doesn't matter that much.

• Lyla Michaels : Normally, we don't bring it outside help, but we got wind that the top icthyologist in the country was doing research on cases just like King Shark's. Actually, I think you may know her.

  Cisco Ramon : Dr. Lamden? You're working for A.R.G.U.S. now?

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Couldn't say no, and please, call me Tanya.

  Caitlin Snow : What about Nautilus Laboratories?

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Director Michaels offered me the opportunity to work with another Shay Lamden, one afflicted with the same dark matter anomaly as my late husband, only this Shay system was causing his neural pathways to regress. I'm teaching him how to communicate effectively.

  Barry Allen : Are you saying his mind is becoming more shark-like?

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : It was, but not anymore. I stopped the regression of King Shark's mind using a cerebral interface that stimulates his neural outputs. I call it a telepathic crown.

  Cisco Ramon : Kind of like the M.A.D. 2.0 we built. That's brilliant.

• Dr. Tanya Lamden : My husband, the Shay Lamden of Earth-1, was a wonderful man. Now I have the chance to help another Earth's Shay Lamden, by giving him back his human mind. And since Shay's current state requires him to be in the water more, these earbuds allow me to hear him under water and vice versa.

  Lyla Michaels : The telepathic crown allows Tanya to get through to King Shark and curb his violent behavior.

  Nora West-Allen : Can we use the crown to talk to him?

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Yes, but why?

  Barry Allen : We think we can make him human again.

  Caitlin Snow : It's taken a lot of work, but we think we figured out a way to transform dark matter-infused cells back to their non-meta state.

  Cisco Ramon : Now all we need to do is test it, so we came looking for a volunteer.

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : That could really work?

  Barry Allen : So, can we ask him?

• Dr. Tanya Lamden : Shay, a team from S.T.A.R. Labs is here. They have something you may want; a meta-cure for your condition. Trust me, their preliminary analysis on reversing meta-gene transfigurations proves there is a strong chance it could work, especially in icthyological prospects.

  [amused laugh] 

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : No, I'm not just showing off. It's their research.

  [to the others] 

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Shay has a wonderful sense of humor.

  Cisco Ramon : So, are we supposed to call him King Shark or Shay?

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Yes, I'm still here. Uh-huh. I agree. Okay.

  King Shark : [jumping out of the water]  You believe this cure could help?

  Barry Allen : Yeah.

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Where do we begin?

• Cisco Ramon : So, if I wanna boost the crown's powers, we got to get it to talk to MAD 2.0.

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : What about a lagorithmic code?

  Cisco Ramon : [looking at Sherloque]  Exactly. You see, this is why we need more scientists on the team.

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Shay tells me that all the time.

  Cisco Ramon : Well, the guy knows what he's talking about.
