"Killer Frost" is the seventh episode of the third season of The CW television series The Flash. The episode was written by Andrew Kreisberg and Brooke Roberts, with a story by Judalina Neira and directed by Kevin Smith. It was first broadcast on November 22, 2016 on The CW. The show is itself an spin-off of the show Arrow, where many characters in the series were introduced during the second season. The episode revolves around Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) slowly losing control of her Killer Frost persona after using her powers to save Barry from Savitar. In an attempt to get rid of her powers, Killer Frost kidnaps Julian to help her find Savitar and is forced to battle both Barry and Cisco.
The episode received generally positive reviews, with critics praising Panabaker's performance and the team dynamic.
Continuing from the previous episode, Savitar has Barry (Grant Gustin) in his grasp and decides to run with him across the city, battering him in the process to demonstrate his superiority. In an attempt to save Barry, Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) teleport to his location where Caitlin uses her powers to freeze Savitar, causing him to flee.
As a side effect of overusing her powers, the Killer Frost persona takes over Caitlin. Going to the CCPD headquarters, she lies to Joe (Jesse L. Martin) that Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) has gotten out of the cocoon. Once alone, she violently interrogates one of Alchemy's followers, then abducts Julian (Tom Felton) and coerces him to find other acolytes, in order to find Alchemy and have him remove her powers.
Barry and Cisco track her down and imprison her, and after knocking Julian out, Barry attempts to reason with Caitlin. In her anger she tells him that everything that's gone wrong with everyone's lives is his fault because he created "Flashpoint" and reveals to the team who were watching them through the warehouse's security cameras that Dante's death is because of Barry reversing time. The police arrive and are about to shoot Caitlin when Barry speeds her out of harm's way. Once they're both hidden, Caitlin creates an icicle and stabs Barry in the leg, ensuring that it will take him a couple of hours to heal. Eventually, Barry and Cisco find Caitlin and lock her inside the pipeline after she attacks them.
