Synopsis
When Icicle returns to enact the next phase of his devious plan, Caitlin and her mother, Dr. Carla Tannhauser, must resolve their long-combative relationship to defeat the icy monster.

Trivia
- This episode title refers to the Snow family, whom Icicle planned to convert into ice personas permanently.
- This is the fourth episode of this season not to feature Carlos Valdes (Cisco Ramon).
- The way Nora arrives in 2019 after exiting the Negative Speed Force is very similar to how Reverse-Flash returned in "Potential Energy".
- The manner in which Thomas dies by sacrificing himself to save his daughter from Cicada is similar to how Quentin Lance died protecting his daughter Laurel, from Ricardo Diaz on Arrow.
- Near the end the way Future Grace is watching over her unconscious younger self, is similar to the ending of "Failure is an Orphan", when she watches over her unconscious uncle Orlin.
- Thawne talking about his Negative Speed Force to Nora echoes how he spoke of the Speed Force during "Fast Enough" but negatively.
