In this episode of Arrow , everyone discover out that they are their very limited someone ’s 2d choice . The people who take this well have a relationship at the ending of the episode . Needless to say , there is only one couple left standing .
Did you have a good protagonist in course school ? Did they find a unlike acquaintance in middle school ? Did you squall into your pillow and write whole journal entrance and/or song lyrics about the painful sensation and unfairness of it all ? Then you ’ll relate this episode of Arrow , style “ Home Invasion . ” If all you want is creative deaths , including death - by - handshake and last - by - poker , you are also in luck .
And many of us feel lucky when the instalment set about of with a shirtless Dig , hitting spar pads that Ollie is holding up . “ Just heard that you were see Slade after in this episode , ” he grit out as he hits them . “ I want you to remember this . And this ! ” The only way to end up that routine is for him to fall back in a chairman , pull a rope , and douse himself with water , Flashdance - way , so it ’s a chip disappointing when it cut off with Felicity saying she tracked down Deadshot by hacking a federal database . She vex that she ’ll be send to Guantanamo , and when Ollie evidence her that blonde do n’t go there , enunciate , “ I dye it , really . ” Then calculate at him worriedly , and say “ I keep your secret . ” I am up in the melodic line about Felicity in general , but I have to admit she gets the in force lines of every instalment . But on to Dig ’s inevitable dashing hopes .
First he finds out that Lyla , his friend at the administration agency ARGUS ( an anagram that will never be explained on the show because the S remain firm for Super - human race ) likes justice more than him . She angrily tell excavate that although he have them the information to do Deadshot up for a false “ job interview , ” she ’ll arrest him if he gets anywhere near the operation . He , in turn , care retaliation more than her — and of path shows up . He just happens to show up alone because not only does Ollie not show up — as he ’d promise — he does n’t even call . have ’s all say it — diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick . ( And not the Grayson kind . ) After a humiliating , painful , and nearly fatal encounter with Deadshot , Dig walk out on Ollie . As he go he furiously allege that it ’s clear that , when caught between two choices , Ollie “ will always choose Laurel . ”
This week he ’s choosing Laurel because she ’s the object of a hit man played by J. August Richards , Angel ’s Charles Gunn . Ollie ditched Dig in ordering to force the cat who hire Gunn to confess , and call off the hit . Sadly , Gunn started out by killing two potential witnesser in front of their kid , and wants to finish the task because the Thomas Kid has construe his side . He kill his former employer with a pressure - level handshake that is so cool that , and I will admit this right now , if I could do it , I would . All the time . I would be an absolute goliath . I would depopulate whole region like this . If you ’ve ever wondered what has stood in the direction of the death of you and everyone you ’ve ever love , know now that it is the fundamental impossibleness of that move .
The kid is staying with Laurel because she ’s a busy attorney and does n’t have to time to go discover bullets to throw herself in front of . She want the heater to come to her , so she all - but wrassles the kid off from a uproariously unbiassed societal worker . ( The lady ’s line when Laurel declare oneself to keep the underaged witness to a slaying at her house ? “ Well , have it your agency . ” ) When the bullets do find Laurel , and the Hood saves her , she , Tommy , and the kid require to find a safe sign . They go to the Queens ’ , at Tommy ’s prompting , because Tommy both wants her safe and wants to test her commitment without letting her know about it . The kid is staying with Laurel for the wrong reason , while she is staying with Ollie for the ill-timed understanding , and Tommy detain with them both for the incorrect reasons . It ’s a Russian draw close doll of disfunction that comes to a oral sex with Laurel and Ollie cuddling in a hallway outside a traumatized tike ’s bedroom while Tommy spies on them .
( Tommy , just to drive the knife home , has been specially tolerant to Laurel the intact episode . He even has some advice for the kid , telling him that , when Tommy ’s own mommy exit , he would visualize her every time he close his eye , so she stayed with him . He tell apart the kid to close his middle and the kid smile and says , “ I can see them . ” Laurel is touched . The rest of us search on in horror because Tommy just unmade Batman . I guess Bane gets Gotham City in this universe . )
The fight with Gunn is multiple levels of good , with both Ollie and Gunn falling down stairwells and through coffee tabular array . It ends with a poker - stab through the heart , which convinces me to never try the handshake kill with anyone who has a act open fireplace , but otherwise leaves me undeterred . The main injured party of the fight , though , is Laurel and Tommy ’s relationship . Although Ollie swears he ’ll never expose his secret to Laurel , Tommy says he ca n’t be with Laurel knowing that if she really knew everything she ’d always take Ollie . Three second gear after the kid take the air out the doorway , Tommy does , too , tell Laurel that he once thought he wanted her , but now he realizes he does n’t . Damn . That ’s insensate , Tommy . To dump anything any hard than that , you ’d have to hire an industrial service .
Even the side characters feel the sting of being second good . Shado , in an attempt set up a saving plan for Yao Fei , continues her Karate Kid education of Ollie . This clip she uses techniques that would have gotten Mr. Miyagi thrown in prison . There ’s a circle of pectus - fondling and yearning looks , and it all culminates in a kiss … that Ollie breaks off because he ’s still in sexual love with Laurel . ( Slade watches the coquetry and crank because he realizes Shado like Ollie more . ) Then Yao Fei record up with an lying in wait and let everyone know that he considers them all second best , because his first priority will always be plot of land twists .
Meanwhile , Roy has been compulsively adjudicate to find the Hood . Thea , annoyed when a theft of a police radio bring Roy in custody again , tries to peach to him . Roy breaks it to her that she ’s second in his affections , waxing poetic over how he “ owe the Hood everything , ” and knows that they are supposed to be connected in some way . Unlike everyone else in the episode , Thea seems hunky-dory with being a rung on the ladder lower than a murderer with loose-fitting eye - shadow , and says that she will help Roy regain the Hood . And so , at the end of the instalment , the punk and the bratwurst have the only healthy kinship leave in Starling City . salutary destiny to you , people . Between the two of you , you ’ll make a great Speedy .
