You know what I just now noticed? In the intro part when he says: "to them, I'm Oliver Queen." is the clip of him hugging Thea after he told her. I greatly approve of and support this editing choice.
Damn! The arrow didn't even hit Felicity. That's mean on the part of the editors. I had hope, damn it!
This Shado twin storyline is a weak attempt at writing. Shame on the writers! Shame!
"I am the biggest idiot in the world for breaking up with you." And she's back, ladies and gentlemen! The poorly written in-a-relationship-with-Roy!Thea is back! Now on a character/relationship note, this line right here is a prime example of why I think Roy is emotional abusive towards Thea somehow. She just absolved him of all responsibility for their breakup and he is partially responsible. God, I'm really starting to hate the writers of this show.
"Why don't we? Roy?" I'm sorry I'm calling utter bullshit on that. Seriously, writers? Thea would NEVER run away while the threat of the League hangs over them and she definitely would not just abandon Oliver while he was in such danger. Nope. No. *shakes head*
At least Thea's look when Roy brought up Oliver was contrite, like she felt bad that he'd slipped her mind for a minute. Leave it to Willa to rectify the damage of the poor character writing as much as possible. I love Willa so much.
"You're here, so I'm great." Normally, I hate the Raylicity interactions, but okay, that line was kind of cute.
"And do you feel betrayed by that decision?" What are you, Oliver, a therapist? Also, the way he's standing in this scene with his hands behind his back like that, it makes him look powerful...and sexy, not gonna lie.
Using Sara against Nyssa was quick thinking...but also kind of mean in a way.
Why? Why is Thea not yet part of Team Arrow? She should be! He knows she can fight! Grr!
That building jump was amazing!
Nyssa protected Laurel again! I'm starting to ship it legit now.
Another "thank god you're not dead" reunion between Oliver and Thea. Yay!
"What are you talking about?" I love how Thea was the first one to fend off Oliver's apology...in a way that told him he was an idiot for apologizing in the first place. "What don't I know?" Thea's determination to be in the know is admirable. What I don't get is why Oliver didn't tell her in the first place.
"Tommy." Aw, Oliver used Tommy's name as his fake name!
Well, now Quentin knows. Damn. This gonna be bad. "Oliver, the Arrow, either way same guy." Yup. Bad. Damn.
The police bust through the door and what does Thea do first? Tell Oliver to run. Even though the police are also still after Roy too. At least her priorities are straight in high pressure situations.
Now the city knows. Shit. This just went from bad to worse.
"I don't even have a regular plan." That's funny, but okay, all of Team Arrow shows up yet where is Thea? This a scene that she needs to be in. Her brother's being hunted! Where the hell else do the writers think she'd be? Honestly!
"Also, he's frozen Thea's assets." Well, at least Lance knows that Thea is his main support...even if the writers behind the whole thing seem to hate her character for some dumb ass reason.
Ow! Ray just I love you and Felicity didn't say it back. Ow!
Oliver turned himself in. What a self sacrificing, heart-of-gold-having, moron!
Yet again, Team Arrow relies around Oliver in jail and yet again, no Thea! WHY THE FUCK NOT?
Oliver in handcuffs. Kind of sexy. Also, his speech to them? Perfect.
"You have no idea what it's like to live like this. Looking for any kind of answer." She's right; he doesn't, but Thea would. Thea lived like that for five years.
Lance just hit Oliver! Not cool! Not cool!
"Wouldn't it haven better if you just died there?" NO! No, it would not! That's so mean!
Oliver is not a villain!
Also, part of me thinks maybe Thea put the idea to be the Arrow in Roy's mind.
