I've never been so disappointed as I was to find out only Samantha died and every except for Quentin, Thea and Dig (my favorite characters) are perfectly fine. The Arrowverse writers never do well with cliffhangers. They didn't do anything major with the Legends breaking time or with Flashpoint either. Everything's just fixed within an episode.

I felt like Juliana, Katie and Paul really carried this episode last night with their acting. The Canaries prove to be one of the best parts and Quentin's reaction to Laurel keeps hitting me right in the feels. And it was nice to see the Arrow writers not underpower Black Siren considering she consistently kicked Team Arrow's butts and kept getting away.
