So it looks like Caitlin and Killer Frost are going to stay separate, for now at least.  

And what is this new force they're up against.     These folks cannot catch a break.

[Pia]

Looks like someone didn't forget about all of Killer Frost's criminal past after all. Too bad for her that it looks like she isn't off the hook yet.

Totally forgot that the Speed Force took the form of Nora, so I was confused why everyone seemed so chill over that reveal.

I do wonder what is going to come out of Cecile's powers and possibly amplifying them.

And this new force they are up against, I wonder where it will go from here?

If this's correct in DC Comics Psych was a criminal from the European nation called Zandia which super villains could go to receive diplomatic immunity from whatever crimes they committed.

His real name was Bashir a person connected to a cosmic force known as Sage Force which allowed him to move things with his mind see people's pasts and communicate telepathically with them.

He could also create illusions, control people's minds, and project psionic attacks which would explain how the Flash's version has him reading everyone's fears and turning it against them like Barbas from Charmed did.

Caitlin and Frosty could become two different individuals.    Be interesting to see where they take this.

Good eye. I thought that was familiar from the comics.

That will be interesting to see and fun.

Thank god for Goggle giving information when you need it.

What's Goggle

Danielle took the dual role and ran with it, IMO.

So, first caught up this week.

Totally forgotten yesterday. Nice episode with all facing their fears. This guy, Psych, was good and he could also take down the Speedforce. Impressive! Yeah, I remember that she took the form of Barry's mother before. Anyway, Caitlyn and Frosty will still be separated. And with that cop from Gotham, going after Frosty, I see another headache coming.

The second episode I'll try to watch either tomorrow or Friday.

[Tim]

You're catching up.  The new season starts in a few weeks.
