......Oh shit......you're right.
Once Laurel learns her dad was arrested for conspiring with [Green] Arrow, Oliver is done for.
There's that, too.
Starling City got through the Quake, Slade is the aftershock.
The What!? face on Laurel was perfect too.
Deathstroke better not die in the season finale, we need 'dat swagger.

Also, I fucking LOVE that Slade has an evil Shado ghost whispering in his ear.
See, a smart person would confront Ollie with a hidden recorder. Tell him you know he's the Arrow, record his reaction and confession, and walk away. All you gotta do then is bring the recorder to the police and bam! Chesthair is out!
But since this is Laurel, all that isn't going to happen.
The showrunners don't fuck around, that's what.

Yeah that's like the best thing about this show. Pacing is A1
I have a gut feeling he knows, but is just watching Oliver's back.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's revealed to Laurel next episode.
So would this mean Lance might be okay. Since he was right in the end, even if he was working with the Arrow. He actually got the kidnapper in the station and the other guy let him go. That makes the police force look extremely bad. They're really going about this whole thing wrong I feel. They should use his connection and in turn use the Arrow to clean up some of the more risky situation instead of risking their own men. If he dies oh well. Especially if he's capturing so many criminals they need to expand the prison!!!

Forgot about her. She got her own truth. Funny though, more people know then don't know at this point. Somebody should tell Oliver the meaning of "secret identity".

So he's doing marginally better than Clark was on Smallville.

Give Laurel dat Emmy tho
I know, right? They exactly how long to hold onto something before dropping it right into the characters' laps.

I think on of my favorite scenes in this episode was imaginary Shado talking for Slade. It kind of gave us an inside look at how crazy the miracle drug/island made him. So awesome.

I pretty much love every single thing that happened in this episode.
-Slade being Slade
-Shado literally becoming a "shadow"
-Roy leaving Team Arrow (Don't come back.)
-Thea finding out about Merlyn
-Oliver & Moira reconciling
-Isabel revealing her true nature, and becoming part of the sexy villain brigade
-Diggle, Felicity & Sara surviving
-Officer Lance no longer being an officer
-Laurel finally being clued in
A+

I have thought that for a long time but I thought they would have revealed it by now if they were going that route.
I'm of the opinion Chesthair knows who the Arrow is. He is/was a detective. I'm sure he has already connected the dots. Almost everything that has happened on the show, happened after Oliver returned. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't he know Sara is the Black Canary? If he does, he definitely knows Arrow and Oliver are one and the same.
Sara revealed herself to her dad before she officially returned, so yes.
And the result is beautiful to watch unfold. It's a goddamn roller coaster.
wow, what an episode. next two weeks are going to be brutal.
it's great, the viewer immediately sympathizes with Slade and it justifies all his ridiculous behavior. this show is so good.

After the preview and seeing Roy in it, I'm assuming
He's going to go get the Mirakuru out of his body by visiting Star Labs in central city..

plus he knows that felicity was working for the vigilante, and shes always around olive.
Recover? Shhhheeeeiiiiit. I hit rewind on my DVR so fast. Rewatching this shit.
I don't even think he was stupid beyond signing over the company (and even then, he had no reason to suspect Isabel). He was just getting outplayed at every turn.
He had every reason to suspect Isabel. He was warned about her by his mother early on. She was always hostile toward him to the point he had to calling a favor from Walter just to make sure he kept control of the company. Her name was in the book as well. What he did was the stupidest thing to date and he should have known Slade would screw with this family to pull his attention away from things.

I am interested in seeing how Isabel and Slade are connected, as I'm sure there's more to it than meets the eye.

I was just thinking about how great a villain he is and what they're going to do for season 4/5 and
thought it'd be interesting if they somehow got the mirakuru out of him and he goes into hiding. Comes back as a member of the League of Assassins, but much like Brother Blood is this season, isn't the real big bad, Ra's is.

It completely depends on how they want to do Arsenal since the Show-runners have said that's the route he's going. I don't see Roy using guns and stuff and being a League of Assassins member.
This ignores that the two had formed a amicable relationship over time (up to and including sex!) and most of her hostility toward now was based in him being a shit CEO. A fact even Ollie wouldn't deny. Plus, he knew he could trust her to have the company's best interest at heart. Her being in the book was probably the most damning evidence, but Ollie hasn't given a damn about the book in months and under duress, probably didn't even think about it if he even remembered she was in the book at all.
It was a bad call, but considering the circumstances, I can't call it him being stupid.

Meant Slade. Was just noting how
we're thinking about purging the miracurururururu from someone.

Nah roy was right in a lot of ways , Oliver was just not thinking this ep .
What use were police suppose to be , why did he not ask any question , Thea finding out stuff should been in his mind as soon as she get kidnap .
