MacKenzie's POV

"It's Saturday." I repeat to my foster mother. "The social worker said I can spend the day with Iris. Don't you remember?"

He actually didn't, but how about we keep that to ourselves, yeah?

"Fine." My foster mom sighs, rubbing her forehead. "I could use a break from all the headaches you give me."

"Rude." I mutter as I grab my bag and leave the house

"Be back by 6!" She yells after me

"Yea, yea." I mumble. "To STAR Labs."

Iris had just briefed us on what was going on

"Wolfe is trafficking meta-humans?" Joe asks

"Of course." I say, putting my bag on the ground

"Is everybody crooked in this town?" Joe asks

"Ah, he always did look smug in those Italian wool suits." Cisco says

Iris puts an arm around me

"Oh, my God, he's literally wolf in sheep's clothing." Cisco says

"It's kind of the perfect partnership, I mean, Amunet deals in metas, and Wolfe has a prison full of them." Caitlin says

"And him being the Warden, he can make some inmates disappear without raising any eyebrows." Joe says. He looks to Iris. "I'm gonna go talk to Singh."

"And say what?" Iris asks. "Your pregnant girlfriend with gestational psychic powers told you?"

"Yeah, Joe, Singh's just gonna think that you're a father desperate to get his son out of prison." Cecile says

"Well, if we don't figure out something before midnight, that's exactly what I'm gonna say." Joe says. "Hey, where's Harry? He can help."

"He went to Earth Two, he's checking in on Jesse, so..." Cisco trails off

"Great." Joe says

"Okay, well, we're out of legal options, and Cisco can't breach Barry out of the meta-wing, so, how do we stop this?" Iris asks

"Hey, guys, got your alert, sorry I'm late." Ralph says, walking in with his hands in his jacket pockets

"It's okay, Ralph." Caitlin says

"No, it's not okay." Ralph says. "I ran into this old business partner of mine. This guy... He's just a big, fat creep. He's always sticking his nose in my business. And he's so shady. He's got these beady eyes and this crooked smile."

As Ralph describes the man, his body slowly changes to look like who he is describing

"Just a real two-faced rat from head to toe." Ralph finishes

"Freaky." Cecile says

"Holy shoes." I say, my jaw wide open

"What?" Ralph asks in an accent. "He's a two-faced rat, he is. What's wrong with my voice? Do you hear that?"

"Um..." Cisco trails off before putting the security camera feed of the cortex on the screens

"That's him right there." Ralph says, freaking out. "That's him, do you see him? That's him. That's him, that's him, that's him, Right there, there he there That's me, that's me. What is happening?"

"You somehow willed your body to shape shift into Earl's appearance." Caitlin says. "Seems like your cells can do a lot more than just elongate."

"Ugh, brilliant." Ralph groans. "How do you undo it? Undo this?"
