Sebastian visits his mother at the mental institution and have a mother/son conversation, but learns that Laurel came to visit her. Sebastian tells his mother that he forgives her and leaves the room. Just as Maya lays her head down, Sebastian reappears, but this time he has the skull mask on and kills her.
The episode starts with The Arrow interrogating a man, asking him if he knows who the man in the skull mask is, but after Felicity conducts a polygraph test, The Arrow learns that the man knows nothing about Brother Blood.
 
Sebastian visits his mother at the mental institution and have a mother/son conversation, but learns that Laurel came to visit her. Sebastian tells his mother that he forgives her and leaves the room. Just as Maya lay her head down, Sebastian reappears, but this time he has the skull mask on and kills Maya. We see Laurel in at her desk ready to drink some pills when she is interrupted by someone, telling her that there is a call waiting for her from the mental institute. After Laurel learns of Maya's death, she becomes more sure that Sebastian Blood is not at all what he seems, and suspects he might have killed her. Adam dismisses her pleas to investigate Sebastian as there is no evidence to investigate the Alderman. Laurel has no other option but to turn to her father to call The Arrow for help. The Arrow and Laurel meet on a rooftop (but you can sure as hell feel the tension between them) and Laurel discusses her theories with The Arrow. He's at first reluctant to believe her, as he has publicly supported the man she is accusing of heinous crimes.
