JP Chipera : Working late, Dr. Tannhauser?
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Or working early, depending how you see it.
JP Chipera : Well, I stopped by to say good night. So I guess I'll say good morning.
-
Caitlin Snow : The right choice? What the hell are you talking about? You lied to me for twenty years and told me my father was dead. How the hell is that the right choice?
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Your father is trapped inside an ice monster, Caitlin. What was I supposed to do? Split custody with him on the weekends?
Caitlin Snow : I don't know. You could try telling me the truth. But why tell your daughter anything?
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Funny, I don't recall you telling me that you let the monster out of the prison.
Caitlin Snow : Because you never told me he was *in* a prison! And now all these years that I could've been working on a cure for dad are gone! We may never get him back.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Well, at least you have someone to blame. Moms are always here for that.
-
Caitlin Snow : Those were all the clues that I used to find dad. Including some files that I may have stolen from your file room.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Aww, Caitlin and Thomas's infamous Periodic Table. Nerdonium. You know, he stole that one from me.
Caitlin Snow : Really? I thought he came up with that while he was fixing the kitchen sink.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : No, I thought of that. Come to think of it, I also fixed the kitchen sink.
-
Caitlin Snow : Hey, mom, that was pretty clever what you did. Figuring out Icicle's plan.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Well, I recall you helped with that, too.
Caitlin Snow : It's amazing what we can do when we're not trying to rip each other's heads off.
-
Caitlin Snow : Where are we?
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : In another decommissioned Tannhauser site. This site is a little more off-the-grid than usual. It's where we kept out most classified projects.
Caitlin Snow : Great. I guess we are Icicle's next project. We need to get out of here.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Well, there's a circuit panel over here. I think we can hack it and open the door.
Caitlin Snow : Neither one of us knows about electrical engineering. Our best bet is to break me out of these meta-cuffs and let Killer Frost do the rest.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Don't be foolish. You'll never break those.
Caitlin Snow : Well, it's no more foolish than you electrocuting yourself, but if you want to, knock yourself out.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Caitlin Snow : [angered groan] How did we get here? I mean, you're my mother and I'm your daughter. But it never felt like that. You've always been cold, distant. You never wanted to be a part of my life. Not then and certainly not now. Why? I mean, what did I ever do to get treated like this?
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : What?
Caitlin Snow : Why did you leave me?
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : You left me first. You went to school across the country to get away from me. You took a job in Central City instead of working in the same zip code as my lab. Caitlin, you were married to a man I never even met. I got the hint, but don't you dare mistake things. I didn't leave first.

Dr. Carla Tannhauser : [witnessing Icicle break into her lab] Thomas?
-
Caitlin Snow : I think we can track the nano-cryoparticles inside the atomizer. We just have to re-program an oscilating inversion scanner. Do you mind running to the downstairs storage area and grabbing it?
Barry Allen : Mm-hmm.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Wait. You should use a modified field array. There's one in the upstairs archives.
Caitlin Snow : No, no, actually the inversion scanner would work best. Thank you.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : No, no. Not since we upgraded our field arrays last year. You know, you would know that if you visited more, not just when you needed something.
Caitlin Snow : Apparently only when I need the wrong thing. The inversion scanner.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : The field array.
Barry Allen : [aware of the awkwardness] I'll get both. Might take my time.
Joe West : You need help?
Barry Allen : No.
-
Caitlin Snow : I'm okay. I took a beating but Killer Frost's ice healing kicked in. I'm going to be fine thanks to Dad.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Well, how-how it this possible?
Thomas Snow : Well, I saw Icicle about to kill Caitlin, and I found the strength to break through.
Caitlin Snow : Just like Killer Frost, Dad saved me.
Thomas Snow : Well, you saved me too, Caitlin. I mean, thanks to you, I think I may have finally banished this monster.
[Cicada comes into the room and blasts The Flash from behind]
Cicada II : That's good. That just leaves one more monster for me to kill.
-
Caitlin Snow : What are we doing here? What do you want with us?
Icicle : I want what you could be.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : [he advances on Caitlin] Stop it!
Icicle : Just a small blood sample.
[he draws some blood, then turns to leave]
Icicle : See you soon, Snow Pack.
-
Caitlin Snow : What?
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Snow Pack. That was your father's nickname for our family.
Caitlin Snow : I remember, and why is that scaring you?
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : He said he wanted what we could be, and then he took a sample of your blood.
Caitlin Snow : Theoretically, he could use the cryo-atomizer to recreate the process that created Killer Frost. So if he did that to you...
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : I would gain an ice persona.
Caitlin Snow : And now with a sample of my blood...
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : He can create a serum that will permanently suppress our human sides.
Caitlin Snow : He wants an ice family, and he's willing to erase us to get it.
-
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : What's it like having another person in your head?
Caitlin Snow : Pretty crazy. I mean, when she first showed up, I couldn't wait to get rid of her. But when she disappeared, I tried even harder to get her back.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : What finally brought her back?
Caitlin Snow : Family. She protected us.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Well, I'm glad you had someone there for you.
-
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : [standing protectively in front of Caitlin] Stay away from her.
Icicle : I'll come back for her later. First, we have some catching up to do.
-
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Thomas, are you in there? Thomas, please.
Icicle : [turning on a machine] Now it's time to meet your better half.
-
Caitlin Snow : So, this endothermic litmus test would've created a stoichiometric reaction. If there was any residual meta DNA in your system, it...
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : Would've turned white. I know.
Caitlin Snow : And it's still green, so you're clean. You're not a meta.
-
Caitlin Snow : Mom? Um... do you want to maybe go get a drink? You can tell me more about elements you invented. Now or whenever.
Dr. Carla Tannhauser : No, actually, now would be perfect.
