Derrick tried to beat her away, but is unable to and Caitlin fires a number of ice blasts before finally covering Derrick in ice, giving him frostbite and killing him. Caitlin then realises she has a new mission in life, to kill unfaithful men.

Barry is called to investigate the body, and realises something odd is happening. He works with Richard and theories some kind of ice gun due to the power behind the blast which hit him.
