Not going into details but one hell of a WTF :eek: at the end . :confused: A lot to be explained when Arrow returns ..

Ugh so I had to DVR ARrow and I'm sitting here trying to watch it but apparently either my DVR is dumb or the station had issues because I can hear musical background but you cannot hear anybody speaking. WTF? I'm gonna have to go see if I can't watch elsewhere.

If you are in the US try Hulu or CW app or web page to see the ep .
Wasn't sure about Laurel , unless in Legends of tomorrow , they mess up the timeline . I do think it a way to mess with oliver mentally .. Some projection of what he wants , or after him killing Falicity boyfriend , his mind wants to have Laurel back .

Last week ep was the best in a very long time

I'm just saying that someone should call S.T.A.R. Labs and see if anyone is missing from their metahuman containment facility. :P You know, like someone from Earth 2, with some pretty powerful vocal chords?

A very intense episode that I really enjoyed.

I just freakign loved the use of Flashbacks this week. I love them throwing in a 4 years ago instead of five and flashing back to Season one and then intertwining them so well with the present. It was awesome. :nod:

So much happened in this episode. I guess anger and rage is blind because its the only way i can make since of Evelyn betraying the team because Oliver used to be a murder and deciding to work with a murder to kill Oliver. Collateral damage be damned even though you know she's also angry over her parents who were Collateral damage.

I loved the awkward as hell Oliver/Susan and Felicity/Billy scene. Why? Im not really sure other then it made me laugh and it felt so Felicity like to me. :lol:

So we learnt that Prometheus is whats is face son. Or at least thats what the team is assuming based on so photograph Billy found. Even though its mere speculation at this point and we can't be sure if its true or even if we know the son in the present day.

Prometheus sets Oliver up to kill Billy. That was heartbreaking and i loved the scene back in the arrow cave when he come back to tell Felicity and the team. :bawl:

We finally learn Curtis husband isn't has dumb as we expected. He just thought Curtis was having an affair. Now he knows the truth and isn't happy he's been lied to. The ultimatum was a little harsh but i imagine this is something that has been festering with Paul.

I dont think Lyla set dig up. I think it was a recording of her voice but seeing has they weren't at the safe house maybe they were used. I dont know. We will have to see what happens with Dig.

Big big shocker at the end. Im not sure if its E2 Black Siren or a hallucination.

It could be black siren masquerading as Laurel and working with Prometheus. He has been study Oliver for years and the team for a while. He'd know where the base was and would be able to coach Siren to act like Laurel. Maybe he first got rid of Lance because he suspected Lance would be the one to know? Or maybe he was worried of Sirens reaction to her dad. Who knows?

Also possible a hallucination. Remember back in S1 or S2 when Oliver was hallucination Shado because he ingested something? They last scene with Susan they did linger not hat Russian Vodka bottle a bit before she gave him that drink. We knows she's playing him a bit so maybe she dosed him?

or the least likely mayne its Flash related and its savjtar reaching out to Oliver trying to get him to come open the box so Laurel and him can be together a la Julian and Cisco. ;)

I think that ending moment with Laurel was the most shocked I've been in awhile

Love it!!! Laurel is the best damn present Arrow could ask for :nod:

Is Dig in trouble?

Yes. He got that phone call from Lyla saying something was wrong with JJ. He goes to the safe house and he's met wth what looks like a strike force.

This episode left me :thud: and :eek:

I'm sad about Malone. He was a good boy and I was starting to like him.

And Laurel! I hope Oliver is not dreaming and she's alive for real

Yeah I think the ending when Laurel showed up was the most shocked I've been about anything with a tv show in a really long time. I'm dying to know what's it's going to be all about.

I'm really not too upset about Malone. To me, He was just someone standing in the way of Oliver and Felicity getting back together.

Right! We didn't have any hints on this... I lost all my hope with seeing her coming back, and the last thing I would have imagined was that last scene!

I really prefer Oliver and Felicity not to be together for a long time. I think their relationship needs to be re-explored before they go with it again. That was one of the reasons of why I really liked that Felicity had a boyfriend. Sad to see that he had to die!
