He discovers that Cisco is not, at this point a metahuman and inquires as to whether he's experiencing "breach psychosis", which could clarify the dreams he's been getting. Cisco and Kamilla choose to go to the wrongdoing scene, where Earth-19's Collector operators are exploring.

Cisco and Kamilla are advised to return home however decline to surrender. Cisco designs a bit of innovation that can give the area of the homicide weapon by activating recollections of her. Cisco sits in the machine, and he and Breacher clasp hands as they have a dream of Gypsy's passing. They at that point make sense of the killer - Cisco. Breacher goes up against Cisco, who proposes that he unintentionally dedicated the homicide under breach psychosis. Breacher comprehends that Cisco wasn't in his correct brain when he submitted the homicide yet at the same time allows him an hour to get his issues all together and turn himself in.

Kamilla contends that Cisco is reluctant to settle on any choices for himself and that he needs to confide in his own instinct. Cisco at that point understands that somebody inadvertently coded his innovation to trigger breach psychosis in him.

Reverberation admits to it, and uncovers that he has practical experience in manufacturing and hacking characters across various universes. He at that point confesses to slaughtering Gypsy, and both of them start to battle. Reverberation gets the high ground and endeavors to slaughter Cisco, however Cisco hacked the weapon to trigger a power field around him. The Collectors at that point show up and capture Echo.

Breacher apologizes for questioning Cisco, and welcomes him and Kamilla to Gypsy's commemoration. He at that point breaks home, and Cisco at long last discloses to Kamilla that he adores her.

Barry and Iris get back, and Cisco uncovers that he disposed of the BARI. Barry and Iris apologize to Cisco for what befell Gypsy, and he contends that Gypsy trained him to be the individual he should have been.

Ramsey contends that he's controlled his forces and outfit the capacity of eternality, yet Caitlin turns him down. She contends that Ramsey simply needs to have confidence in himself, however he grasps Caitlin by her neck and lifts her off her feet. Refusing to listen to her, Ramsey drops her and leaves.

Trivia

• The episode's title is a reference to the 2005 film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang which in-turn was partially adapted from the novel Bodies Are Where You Find Them.
• This is the third episode in the series in which Grant Gustin (Barry Allen) doesn't have a lead role, the first two being "Cause and XS" and "Godspeed", who focused on Nora West-Allen.
• Cisco's middle name is revealed to be Baracus, a reference to the character B.A. Baracus from the television series The A-Team.
  • Ralph also says "I love it when a plan comes together", John "Hannibal" Smith's catchphrase from the series.
• This episode introduces Cisco's Earth-19 doppelgänger 'Echo'.
• Ralph calls Norvock "snake-shack", referencing his former meta-power as well as the American restaurant chain Shake Shack.
• According to Josh, Breach Psychosis' symptoms are quite similar to being drunk.
• Cisco mentions Wreck-It Ralph.
• Despite being credited, Danielle Nicolet (Cecile Horton) does not appear in this episode.
• Josh admits to seeing Cisco as a son, which is similar to what Thawne said before killing him in a now erased timeline in "Out of Time".
• Cisco mentions how it's the second time that Josh has appeared in his bedroom, the first time being in the season 4 episode, "Elongated Journey Into Night".
• According to Josh, all of Cisco's other living doppelgängers are meek "pencil pushers" without Earth-1 Cisco's courage. Either he doesn't know about Reverb, or ignores that version of Cisco due to Reverb being dead.
  • All the Ciscos so far have sound-related aliases.
• Echo's monologue with Cisco mirrors the one Reverb gave in "Welcome to Earth-2".
  • Just like Reverb, Echo looks down Cisco for not using his abilities selfishly.
  • Unlike either of them, Echo is not a meta. He mentions needing to "boot up" his ride out of Earth-1.
• Early in the episode, Ralph uses the word, "fathwoom", making this the first episode to do so. "Fathwoom" is a term used on set to describe the moment Barry runs in or out of a room. This is similar to the term "zoop", which was later used in the show for the first time in "Central City Strong".

Goofs

• When Cisco tells Breacher "If we want this to work, we have to make physical contact." Breacher holds Cisco's hand with a glove. Though this may not be a goof, but rather simple contact between vibers is all that's necessary
