Summary:
On the island, Fyers’ men, who are working for someone greater, plan to destroy a commercial airliner – an event that would in turn stabilize China’s economy. In front of Oliver, Shado, and Slade, Fyers forces Yao Fei to record a statement saying he takes responsibility for the missile. Fyers then shoots Yao Fei.
The Dark Archer murders numerous researchers at Unidac. Detectives Lance and Hilton realize it was the copycat and he has a connection to Merlyn Global. Thea and Roy overhear this and continue searching for the Hood. When Moira doesn’t give Oliver the truth about who took Walter, Diggle, disguised as the Hood, tranqs them and holds them captive. Moira reveals that Malcolm wants to level the Glades with a device that can cause an earthquake.
Felicity discovers the connection between Merlyn and the copycat, so Oliver devises a plan to break into Merlyn Global. After swinging through the elevator shaft, Oliver meets with Tommy, while Felicity, dressed as a Big Belly Burger employee, copies computer files and uploads a Trojan, which the police’s tech department traces back to her. Back in the lobby, Oliver threatens Roy to keep Thea away from the Hood for both their safety. Thea gives Roy an ultimatum: either give up finding the hood or lose her. She walks out on him.
Oliver tells Laurel he hopes he didn’t wait too long to get her back. From the street, Tommy sees Oliver and Laurel together. After his night with Laurel, the Hood fights with Malcolm, who says nothing can stop his plan. Malcolm knocks the Hood down and uncovers his identity. Diggle goes after the device, but it’s missing.
Quotes:
Felicity: Are you okay?
Oliver: My mom and my best friend’s dad are involved in a conspiracy that may have dire consequences for the city, and I’m pretty sure they murdered my father. I’m not planning on using the word “okay” again any time soon.
Diggle: We have to find out what this “undertaking” is.
Oliver: I got to ask her.
Felicity: Woah. No. The last time the vigilante paid your mom a visit, you got shot and I got to play doctor with you. Oh, my brain thinks of the worst way to say things.
Laurel: After you disappeared with Sarah, I was sorry I ever knew you. But now, things have happened that I never thought would. You coming home. My parents being in the same room. And you. What if I’m finally starting to see you for who you really are?
Oliver: No, Laurel.
Laurel: Maybe Tommy was right. Maybe he and I weren’t meant to be. Maybe I’m finally ready to admit that I still have feelings for you too.
Oliver: Nothing’s changed. My life hasn’t changed. I haven’t changed.
Thea: Where did you even get that camera? Come to think of it, where did you get this car?
Roy: I borrowed it, illegally.
Felicity: As I keep proving, people keep secrets, computers don’t.
Oliver: Felicity, are you hacking into the Merlyn Global mainframe?
Felicity: Hacking is such an ugly word. No. I’m, yeah, totally hacking into the Merlyn Global mainframe.
Quentin: Hey, you never did tell me what had you and Merlyn on the outs.
Laurel: No, I didn’t.
Quentin: You don’t have to tell me.
Laurel: Oliver. I know. I know. Say it. You think I’m crazy. I mean, Oliver, he cheated on me, he broke my heart, he led Sarah to her death, and you would probably rather drink acid than see me with him again. Dad, I am sure you’re disappointed in me.
Quentin: Since Queen’s been back, he’s different. I’ll deny ever having said that.
Oliver: Anything?
Felicity: Just for the record, I will pump my fist in the air and scream, “Yes,” if I get in.
Diggle: You know you can just say, “This isn’t working.”
Felicity: This isn’t working.
Oliver: Mr. Andrews got his lunch.
Felicity: One belly buster with benzodiazepine. Hold the mayo.
Tommy: I saw your name in my schedule. I thought it must be a typo. Why so serious? Did someone decide that they didn’t want you putting an arrow in them today?
Oliver: I thought it was past time we talked.
Tommy: About what? Me leaving the club. You being a serial killer. We’re not lacking for topics.
