Ralph managed to get Caitlin down and untie her from the chair. Unlike her, they weren't limited by an inhibitor.

"Thank you, but how are we supposed to get out of this?" Questioned Caitlin.

"I have only one idea," responded Barry.

"They're trapped," Iris exclaimed. She tapped buttons on the console.

"Who is that?" Cisco points to the man in the video feed.

"No idea, we have to get them out of there." Iris rushed out of the room and returned with two ray guns. She tried to hand Cisco one but he backed up.

"We can't just attack, they're in a force field- safe from whatever weapons that man has. Stay here." Cisco vibed within the force field, confusing the mystery man. The group knew exactly who it was and jumped through. Everyone got out unharmed, now they just had to get Caitlin's inhibitor off.

An argument began, Barry on the opposite side of the group. They stood on opposite sides of the Medbay, though Ralph, Iris, and Cisco stood quietly behind Caitlin.

"It isn't hurting her, and this way Killer Frost won't be an issue anymore," explained Barry.

"Frost  isn't an issue! She's a person, Barry, when are you going to understand that?!" Caitlin shouted. The others slowly left the room, this wasn't about them.

"You're defending her now? You despised Killer Frost, looking for any way to get rid of your alter ego."

"Yeah well people change... I changed." She looked at him with hurt tears in her eyes and said disgustedly, "But it's obvious you've stayed the same." Caitlin walked out, leaving Barry alone for once.

She met Cisco in his lab. Iris and Ralph had left for the second time this night, their phones nearby. They didn't have to speak to know what her final decision was. He had already begun setting up to remove the collar around his bestfriends' neck. 

Caitlin moved her curly brown hair to one side, allowing access to the inhibitor. Cisco took small pliers and pulled at the metal paneling. It tore off easily, revealing the intricate wiring beneath. 

"What's wrong?" She asked, noticing how he didn't continue.

"I've never seen tech like this," he explained, frustrated. Cisco pried every panel off, the inhibitor formed a snake around Caitlin's neck, tightening every minute.
