Laurel must deal with the repercussions of taking Sara to Nanda Parbat. Meanwhile, Oliver asks Captain Lance for a favor and while he’s not surprised at the response, he is surprised at what he finds out next.

Arrow is all over the place in this episode which really gets the ball rolling for what will likely be the conflict for the rest of the season.

With a new Green Arrow persona, and the city falling apart, Oliver has decided he wants to be a bit more altruistic and hands on, and is going to run for Mayor. It’s an interesting plot twist and where it goes can be really entertaining. The Green Arrow I know is a left leaning social justice warrior, so hopefully this is steps towards that.

The rest of the episode has to deal with corrupted cops. It’s a nice change from the super powered individuals and really nails down how corrupt and broken the city is. I’d have supported playing out that plotline a lot longer, as it could have been interesting to string out who’s good and who’s corrupt and keep us wondering.

As a whole though, the first three episodes were a slow beginning, this is where I think the season really begins.

Overall rating: 7.75
