Having resolved the mystery of Caitlin’s father and the origins of Killer Frost, this episode felt like a bit of a fresh start for the character.

I’ve come to dread any Caitlin-centric storylines over the past couple years, as the series never seems to know how to handle her and her frosty alter ego anymore. I was also pleasantly surprised to see just how much I enjoyed the Caitlin/Cisco subplot this week. That appears to be exactly what’s happening. We’ve seen Thawne as the antagonist enough times on both this show and Legends that there really needs to be a change in direction if he’s going to play a major role in the Arrowverse again. The ticking clock angle adds an added sense of urgency to his desire for redemption.
This is clearly a post-Crisis on Earth-X Thawne, one who’s feeling the weight of his many crimes and finally remembering why he looked up to Flash in the first place. And though the Thawne scenes only bookended this episode, the idea that we may be looking at the redemption of Eobard Thawne is a big selling point right now. After so many episodes of Barry showing Nora the ropes, it was only fair that she got the chance to succeed on her own for a change. Plus, the simple fact that she got to take point while her father was holed up reading trashy romance novels helped. Seeing her learn to find faith in others and accept that change is possible helped bring the episode to a strong finish. We don’t know what exactly she and Thawne have been up to this entire time, but it’s clear she put a lot of faith in a man she’s coming to realize she doesn't know at all. This week’s storyline mainly succeeded when it came to exploring Nora’s current emotional struggle. Clearly the gates have swung open when it comes to Gotham City references post-Elseworlds. Though granted, it was fun seeing two villains hijack a technologically advanced WayneTech car. If we never have to sit through another armored car robbery in an Arrowverse show, it’ll be too soon.
The ability to control engines is a weirdly specific, even unremarkable power, and one that led to some fairly bland car chase scenes. It didn’t necessarily help that new villain Silver Ghost (Gabrielle Walsh) didn’t stand out much in terms of either personality or abilities.
