Quotes 

• Barry Allen : Oh, Lyla, this is, um... my daughter, Nora.

  Lyla Michaels : Your daughter?

  Barry Allen : Yeah.

  Nora West-Allen : I'm from...

  Lyla Michaels : The future, I'm guessing.

  Nora West-Allen : Weird, right?

  Lyla Michaels : No weirder than waking up one day to find out that your son used to be your daughter.

• Lyla Michaels : Normally, we don't bring it outside help, but we got wind that the top icthyologist in the country was doing research on cases just like King Shark's. Actually, I think you may know her.

  Cisco Ramon : Dr. Lamden? You're working for A.R.G.U.S. now?

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Couldn't say no, and please, call me Tanya.

  Caitlin Snow : What about Nautilus Laboratories?

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Director Michaels offered me the opportunity to work with another Shay Lamden, one afflicted with the same dark matter anomaly as my late husband, only this Shay system was causing his neural pathways to regress. I'm teaching him how to communicate effectively.

  Barry Allen : Are you saying his mind is becoming more shark-like?

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : It was, but not anymore. I stopped the regression of King Shark's mind using a cerebral interface that stimulates his neural outputs. I call it a telepathic crown.

  Cisco Ramon : Kind of like the M.A.D. 2.0 we built. That's brilliant.

• Dr. Tanya Lamden : My husband, the Shay Lamden of Earth-1, was a wonderful man. Now I have the chance to help another Earth's Shay Lamden, by giving him back his human mind. And since Shay's current state requires him to be in the water more, these earbuds allow me to hear him under water and vice versa.

  Lyla Michaels : The telepathic crown allows Tanya to get through to King Shark and curb his violent behavior.

  Nora West-Allen : Can we use the crown to talk to him?

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : Yes, but why?

  Barry Allen : We think we can make him human again.

  Caitlin Snow : It's taken a lot of work, but we think we figured out a way to transform dark matter-infused cells back to their non-meta state.

  Cisco Ramon : Now all we need to do is test it, so we came looking for a volunteer.

  Dr. Tanya Lamden : That could really work?

  Barry Allen : So, can we ask him?

• Lyla Michaels : So, why King Shark?

  Caitlin Snow : Dark matter levels vary from meta-human to meta-human, but Shay Lamden's case is the most extreme we've seen, so we think if we could reverse the effects of a high level mutation like his...

  Lyla Michaels : You can help all meta-humans.

  Cisco Ramon : Look, we know King Shark has limited speech, but we're wondering could we try and talk to him? If we're gonna do this, we're gonna need his permission.

  Lyla Michaels : Well, you're in luck, Cisco. Lately, he's been quite talkative.
