Thats right.Adrian Chase is one sneaky, Prometheus-ian son of a gun.
Im sorry, but does Oliver not know a single other lawyer he could call?
And can the city attorney evendothat?

Man, Star Citys bar association rules must be the size of a matchbook.
We all sense this is going to end badly, right?
Speaking of ending badly, Oliver orders Thea to make things right with Susan.
Susan, who lied to Thea and manipulated her for a hit piece on her brother, the mayor.
Susan, whos been sleeping with the source shes investigating.
As if thats not enough, Oliver next guilts Felicity into helping him because Susans not returning his calls.
Oliver says hes busy with, you know, being impeached, so Felicity reluctantly agrees to help.
A press scrum greets Oliver as he enters City Hall for the impeachment hearing.
Susans there covering it for her new blog.
She talks to Oliver long enough to blame him for trashing her credibility.
Man, shes dark, but shes pragmatic, and Im here for it.
Then Vigilante fires on Olivers limo, flipping it.
Are you prescribing me a girlfriend?
That, or just a friend, she replies.
Guys, help me out here.
Has this show ever once explained why Oliver cares for Susan so much?
Why is Oliver so doggedly sticking with this?
And my suspicious are swiftly confirmed, but not in the way that I expected.
While I was hoping for an improbable Tommy Merlyn-as-Prometheus reveal, Adrian Chase will do nicely.
He says her superpower is empathy, big, reflective, pure empathy.
John cliches that when you fight fire with fire, you risk being burned.
As is Thea, even though Oliver begs her not to be cruel to Kullens.
Plus, alls fair in politics.
Why are you doing this, baby?
But hey, how handy is it to have a team member back on the police force?
(Also, who holds press conferences outside at night?
Let the media come inside!
Oliver asks, Is the team outside?
Dinah responds in the affirmative, and Oliver says, Then itll be fine.
Its a lovely moment of trust in an otherwise infuriating episode.
These are not quiet weapons!
The truth is that the Green Arrow has gone rogue, Oliver says.
Green Arrow is not a hero.
He is whats keeping Star City from being the best it can be.
His crappy excuse just made Olivers second job so much harder to do, and for what?
Yeah, in the end, the council members agree not to impeach Oliver, but dang.
How much political clout will he and Adrian really have at this point?
The realpolitik of this all makes zero sense.
NEXT: Dont worry, guys.
Oliver and Susan make up.
Sweet galloping zebras, I amdonewith this character and this story line.
I … need to lie down a second.
Possibly with some vodka.
c’mon dont ask me to stay, she begs Oliver.
But I am broken, okay?
I need you to let me go.
She wants to take a stab at fix herself, and Oliver reluctantly accepts her resignation.
Dont leave us again, Thea!
But when Curtis gets to the restaurant, Paul slaps him with divorce paperwork.
Oh, Im sure this wont end badly.
Finally, Susans walking to her car when Adrian approaches her about an exclusive.
Prometheus music plays as he describes the story as life or death.
Yeah, I dont know anymore, guys.
