Wow! Just Wow! Just so frickin' wow! This episode was bitchin'! Nuff said, let's get on with the spoilers!

In the synopsis it was teased that Curtis will have some problems with his boyfrien, or whatever he is, and he did, only it wasn't very interesting. I mean, fortunately, it didn't take a big part of the episode, but it was pretty boring. But the whole thing with the cops hiding from Diaz and everything being corrupt, I like that, I think Rickardo Diaz, even though he stepped up as the villain pretty late, has been getting an interesting storyline. He is a threatening villain and I am interested to see where this goes. I am not sure about evil Laurel making out with him and stuff. I guess it doesn't bother me too much, but I am not sure how that "relationship" will turn out. I just don't know exactly how I am feeling about this, just like Diggle this episode. Oooh, segue!

The main and the best plot this episode was the fight between Diggle and Oliver. That was really good. It was actually amazing. Before, I thought that Diggle wanting the Green Arrow title was stupid and didn't make sense, but it turns out - so does Diggle...and Oliver...and Lyla. The fact that they acknowledged that was great. And then they gave a really good explaination for it. I thought that Oliver and John are just gonna fight for who gets to be the Green Arrow or something, but they actually had a really interesting reason to argue and a really emotional scene that ended up with a fight, that, unfortunately, was stopped by Felicity. A lot of shots were fired. It was so emotional. Honestly, Diggle is right, Oliver hasn't been that good of a leader lately. I mean, his entire team fell apart, for god sake! But I still support my boy Ollie. I think he is trying to do good for the city and is still a good Green Arrow. When Diggle said that Oliver leaves a trail of dead bodies behind him and mentioned William's mother, I was like "Ooh, shots fired!". But then, when Oliver said: "At least my trail of bodies doesn't include my own brother...", than I was like "SHOTS FIRED!!!" That was a great scene, but just in general, their agrument was amazing, it was personal and I can sorta stand behind both of them. It was way better that OGA VS NTA.

Just wanted to mention some other stuff real quick. The scene where they destroyed the Vertigo Lab was pretty badass. It was cool seeing Oliver fire the DA and the police captain, but at the end, when they said on TV that he was the Green Arrow, now that was just stupid. I don't see why this "The mayor is the Green Arrow" storyline hasn't ended yet. They can't keep juggling around with it for the entire season. Or they can, but they shouldn't. And a little note on next episode: I am exited to see why Oliver is wearing his Season 4 costume, as shown by Stephen Amel on his Instagram, and his Seasons 1-3 costume, as show in the trailer. Stephen said it is not flashbacks, and it doesn't look like it is. I am excited to finaly get an episode that is centered around Oliver.
