I enjoyed this episode tremendously. Granted, the funeral scene was not done as strongly as it should have been. My guess is that the writers did not want to spend excessive time on the funeral. Seeing Oliver in a state of depression reminded me of Bruce Wayne in the beginning of The Dark Knight Rises. When Oliver regained consciousness in the Arrowcave and saw Dinah, I felt shocked for a fraction of a second before composing myself. She already knew who he was, thanks to Slade. Being introduced to the Arrowcave only affirmed that information. I will not foretell if her working with Team Arrow is good or bad. Better to just wait for whatever the writers have in store for the audience.

"Streets of Fire," which continues the story, ought to be exciting for a number of reasons. The primary reason is that Merlyn returns. Among many fans, I have been awaiting his return. I wonder how he responds to Moira's murder. Given the circumstances, it is likely he will end up assisting Team Arrow against Deathstroke and his augmented army. For that episode, the trailer shows Dinah using Oliver's bow. I want to know where and when she learned archery because nobody just takes up a bow and arrow and demonstrates skill in the art without formal training. Summer Glau will also be in the episode as Isabel Rochev/Ravager. Admittedly, I have been eager to see her in action again ever since "Deathstroke."

The final episode, "Unthinkable," features the return of Nyssa al Ghul and the League of Assassins. She must have been the old friend Sara planned to see. If is the case in which Sara requests assistance from the League, Team Arrow will have its army then. However, I have no doubt the price for their assistance is a costly one. Perhaps they will play a bigger role in Season 3.

Overall, this 3-part season finale has started out well. These last two episodes should prove quite entertaining.
