Cisco wasn't on the scene, busy at the frost lab. There were a couple of mentions to bringing Cisco in, Barry said it was best to leave him where he was. I guess Carlos wanted some time off? I further wonder whether he may be the casualty of this season cause (it seems) as though they're running out of use for him - especially if he takes the cure. He'll just be another tech guy.Why didn't they breach the meta humans away instead of trying to transport them by helicopter? Wouldn't that be quicker and safer?
The plot wouldn't like that. And why can't Killer Frost freeze and shatter Cicada's hands so that he can't hold the dagger?
They are getting more obvious leaving people out of the show for whatever reason.Well they let Cicada escape … again. I'm having a hard time believing that Barry [would have] killed all of a sudden, and to think if he was going mach three on Cicada, then Cicada simply wouldn't have suddenly got up from that. Very poor writing.

I think it's about morale, and the long view. In a battle between metas -- even though some of them are good -- where the regular people and the legitimate authorities are irrelevant at best, then eventually the authorities will gather enough momentum and power to permanently stop them all, like in the Argus dystopian future on Legends.Why didn't they breach the meta humans away instead of trying to transport them by helicopter?

I think @Dark Raven meant more why didn't they use Cisco to get these metas out of the city (via breaching) rather than having to rely on the police department and helicopter.I think it's about morale, and the long view.

I know Cisco was off at the Frost Lab, but Barry had that breaching device to get Peekaboo out of where she was quickly and escape from Cicada. Both of them went through at the same time. We've also seen it can take several people at once, and Kara uses it frequently to hop universes. So why didn't Team Flash use that instead of relying on a helicopter?
At least they shouldn't have shown the breaching device earlier on so that we could forget about it. But since they did show it, it does beg the question why they didn't just use that? That way they wouldn't even have to rely on Cisco and he could carry on his research.
It's a good point but I think the police were providing the metas with their witness protection stuff and taking them somewhere safe. It's a good enough reason for me
They could've breached the metas to the safe house. The police were just providing safe haven and witness protection. They don't necessarily have to provide transport. These transport cars always get hijacked anyway.
I wasn't expecting a helicopter. I assumed they were taking a motorcade since Cecile asked for some road blocks.
I laughed at Barry telling Killer Frost to switch back to Caitlin since they needed her only for her to just say Nora needed to get to a hospital.
Cicada made me laugh too with his "I smell someone's fart" face.
Iris better have that same energy for her apology to Sherloque when all is revealed.
