This episode was fast and furious as hell but I ended up really enjoying it.

I think the worst part was probably having to shoe-horn William into the plot for no good reason. I already forgot but did we not get a reaction from Felicity and co. to William missing?

Black Siren was just on.point. tonight! She brought some grade A. snark and bitchiness and it was giving me life! Everything about her was just greatness. If they do ever redeem her, don't have her lose this snark. KC gives great attitude and sarcasm. At Sirens core, I think she really does hate herself and is very afraid of dying which is why she does and sides with anyone of power. I hated that she and Cayden turned on each other so quickly since I think they could've been fleshed out more as a team but its Arrow, they don't like to do that kind of stuff. I love that she just doesnt like to waste time so Cayen wants a killer? I'm your killer! Her collar goes off? blasts everyone and just calmly walks away. I really would love it for her to meet Darhk because I feel like she is pissed that Laurel got herself killed but also pissed that this guy killed her doppelganger off.

Dinah was RUTHLESS tonight. She was truly out for blood and anyone who stood in her way was just collateral damage. If I didnt know any better, Id think that she was headed down the dark road as well!

One of the better episodes so far this season
Finally we got to see a bit of interaction within Team Cayden

Nope, Aaron, there was no reaction. he ws just gone

Katie really did an amazing job in this epsiode.. I love how she thinks she doesn't wnat to change, but seeing her hesitate and protecting Quentin and having that picture.. you can see that she's struggling.. Being good is not naive like she said.. it's the harder way to go and that's what I think she wants to avoid.. not because she couldn't do it.. but because once she did go that way and still lost everything.. kinda like our Laurel did, but they both went a different way from there.. one taking the good and harder way and one the easy way in becoming a villain

Also I loooooove that Quentin hasn't given up on her at all also all of TA.. tbh I would never have expected anybody else than Quentin or Ollie to defend her..

I gave up Arrow forever ago but here I am coming back for her scenes. I want an episode that's dedicated to her origin story. That way I could watch the full 42 minutes without skipping 92%

She's killing it. I love her scenes with Quentin. Her Canary cry is amazing.

The scene with her and (I wanna say) Cayden, was great. She was all, "Well, well, well" then bam with the Canary cry.

Badass.

Yeah I've been waiting for that episode of her story since the beginning of the season..
Aaand they kinda promised us one like that Vince and Dinah had theirs, Cayden had his.. it's time Laurel get hers

SuitUp

Fingers crossed they deliver. It would be one hell of an episode.

I mean I already LOVE Earth-2 from what they did on The Flash.

kostilicious

and you've seen her scenes on Arrow too right?

they had promised us BS on The Flash last season too, but the didn't deliver
