Synopsis[]

Plot[]


This section is a stub. You can help expand this section by adding some information.

Oliver, Diggle, and Felicity secretly track Prometheus, who starts slaughtering apparently arbitrary regular people with tossing stars. A news report on the killings causes strain in the city and enrages the volunteers, since they were not educated. Felicity takes one of the stars from Billy to look at it. An example between the casualties identifies with Oliver's rundown from when he originally began as the Hood. This further maddens the enlisted people, Evelyn a large portion of all, as they didn't think about Oliver's "slaughter list" from when he at first returned. Felicity utilizes the example to foresee future casualties and the group separates. Evelyn experiences Prometheus and connects with him, figuring out how to cut his arm before being overwhelmed. Oliver at that point shows up, yet Prometheus get away. In the interim, Thea finds that Quentin never quit drinking. Evelyn accommodates with Oliver, and Felicity discloses to Billy that she works with the Green Arrow, which interests him. She later reveals to Oliver that proof she has found proposes that Prometheus could be a SCPD official; Quentin is demonstrated waking from a liquor incited lay down with a cut over his arm and a tossing star in his ownership. In flashbacks, during a Bratva activity, Oliver is stole by Kovar's men and taken to him.

Trivia[]

  • When Prometheus leaves the message "so it begins" for the Green Arrow, Felicity suggests that he is a Babylon 5 fan, referencing a phrase frequently said by Kosh.
  • Anatoly Knyazev shows himself to be another one of Oliver's mentors in different skills, teaching him to make bombs and work with electronics.
  • This episode marks the first major appearance of The List since Season 1.
  • In a flashback where Anatoly is teaching Oliver how to build a bomb, Oliver's bomb blows up, and Anatoly chuckles, stating that on his first attempt, he almost blew off his fingers. In the comics, Anatoly, known as KGBeast, has a mechanical hand replacing one that he cut off during an early battle with Batman.

Goofs[]

  • Oliver is shown firing arrows to the back wall, where there are 10 tennis balls already skewered into it. Oliver clearly fires another two into the wall, yet at the end of the scene when the wall is shown, there are still only 10 tennis balls.
