All the build-up was a letdown, especially as a Killer Frost fanatic.

The one thing I love about The CW shows is that, for the most part, you really can't trust parents.

The disappearance of Killer Frost has been one of the less compelling running storylines this season, so it stands to reason that an episode focused on that plot strand would end up being a lethargic lull.

I can't grade this too highly as there wasn't much I liked, I'm sorry Caitlin, you deserve better.

Much needed development for Caitlin/Killer Frost. But it would have served the story if the side plots for the episode were placed elsewhere throughout the season.

A rough episode for The Flash. It was basically a snoozer paying off one of the season's most underwhelming subplots.
