This begs the question: what sinister plans did Icicle have before he was trapped that prompted Caitlin's parents to seal him away in the first place? And what will he do now that he is free, albeit still physically limited by his illness?

While Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon helped Caitlin with tracking down her father's whereabouts, the rest of Team Flash searched forР’В a lead on the identity of the metahuman serial killer Cicada. There was also evidence that Thomas Snow had faked his death and gone into hiding, while leaving clues behind that only Caitlin would be able to understand.
