She tosses him out.
Then he attends the SCPD ceremony where he swears in Dinah, whos looking spiffy in her uniform.
Afterward, Thea asks Oliver whats up with him and Susan.
(Shes got Olivers assistant spying for her, the smart cookie.)
He spills about Susans questions, and Thea (rightly) freaks out.
Her password is 1-2-3-4, and she has a file here named Oliver Queen info because shessuperoriginal.
This is my favorite Felicity.
And since its from an outside source, she can get it again if they delete it.
No worries, though; Theas got a plan.
But the women dont even flinch.
This is when half a dozen ACU troops burst in with flash-bangs.
But theyre not there to apprehend the women; theyre after the Green Arrow for Billys murder.
Thankfully, good ol GA has a sparking trick arrow that lets him escape.
The original MEs report mentioned no such thing, which smells like a cover-up to Pike.
This isnt enough for Pike, who vows to continue the investigation.
And honestly, good for him.
Only in the bizarro-land that is Star City is Pike the bad guy.
But of course, she cant go public with it because nobody will believe her now.
You just blew up her life!
Who does that to a person?
And now we come to the roundelay of blame.
Quentin blames himself for Liza embracing her bad side again.
Oliver blames himself for killing Billy.
OMG, we get it,Arrow!
Everybodys a sin eater on this show!
Areyouthe Green Arrow, Mayor Queen, given your similar age, build, height, and stubbled jaw?
Alas, this doesnt happen.
Dinah demurs that shes not quite ready yet to fill Laurels shows.
Its a mask, Felicity cajoles.
(Rene doesnt care for this: Disturbing souls at rest?
This is how you get haunted.)
Thats when Pike strolls up and appears to shoot her in the back.
They arrest all the thugs but leave Team Arrow alone.
OMG, Pike can see your perfect stubble in your tiny mask, dude.
Seriously, youre basically a serial killer whos at the taunting-police-with-letters-and-begging-to-be-caught stage.
Oliver, baby, do youwantto be unmasked?
Is this whats happening here?
Do you need a Snickers?
So filling, dont you know.
Then he sizes up Dinah, who tells him, Im not ready to take your daughters place.
But Quentin corrects her: Laurel wanted someone to carry on in her place.
He gives his paternal blessing, which is sweet and sad and lovely.
Next, Oliver finds Thea, who apologizes again.
He tells her she made a choice likely the same choice their mother wouldve made.
(This is not a compliment.)
Then he says hes less worried about Susan and more worried about his little sister.
She protected your identity.
Dial back the judgey face, son.
Finally, Adrian storms into Olivers office to say theres a problem.
This isnt a problem.
This might be the end of my administration, Oliver murmurs.
Overall, this was a frustratingArrowepisode.
It just feels a bit like a wasted opportunity, alas.
