Quotes 

• Joe West : What's wrong?

  Cecile Horton : I just keep thinking. I'm not doing everything I can to help the city as the district attorney. The justice system doesn't always work for metas... which is why I want to become a defense attorney for meta-humans.

  [Joe has a surprised look] 

  Cecile Horton : I know. I know you can tell me that I'm crazy, and we were not on the same page about Allegra today...

  Joe West : No, no, no, that's not crazy. That's incredible.

  Cecile Horton : Really?

  Joe West : Babe, you know how many people you could help in this city?

  Cecile Horton : Yeah. And I know where I want to start.

• Cecile Horton : I don't understand. I thought Allegra controlled radio waves.

  Iris West-Allen : So did we, but she fired a heat blast right at Ralph.

  Cisco Ramon : It wasn't just heat, it was ultraviolet radiation.

  Killer Frost : He got a sunburn.

  Ralph Dibny : [taking off his mask]  Yeah. From hell.

• Cecile Horton : This is insane. All of the evidence says that she's guilty, but... my powers are telling me that she's not just innocent, she knows who the real killer is. I just need her to trust me.

  Joe West : All you need to do right now is slow down.

  Cecile Horton : What I need to do is find evidence to exonerate her before the trial, and I am running out of time.

  Joe West : Well, that's because you're trying to do the public defender's work and not your own. You do realize how much trouble you can get in, right? You let Allegra out of jail for an inexplicable reason, and now there's another murder.

  Cecile Horton : But my powers are telling me...

  Joe West : Two people are dead, Cecile.

• Cecile Horton : You know this kid. You know her rap sheet. It's petty crimes, robberies. It's not double homicide. That doesn't even add up.

  Joe West : I haven't known this *woman* in a long time, and the evidence adds up. We need to recognize that, unlike facts, feelings can be falliable.

  Cecile Horton : Except when it's your gut.

  Joe West : I've never said that.

  Cecile Horton : You didn't have to. That is a scared kid, with no one to stand up for her. The public defender's office is overworked and underpaid. Joe, I'm the only one who can prove her innocence.

  Joe West : Your job is to prosecute the cases that we bring to you, using the evidence. I mean, it's like you... it's like you don't even wanna be the D.A.

  Cecile Horton : Are you telling me I have to choose between using my powers and doing my job?

  Joe West : That is not what I just said.

  Cecile Horton : No. It's what you're feeling.
