Arrow Season 1 Episode 5: Damaged

Don’t read if you haven’t watch the episode

 

Oliver was arrested Detective Lance and was charged with murder. For his defence, he asked or rather Moira asked Sarah to be Oliver’s lawyer. Reluctant at first, Sarah agrees and offers the judge to put a tracking device on Oliver and have him on house arrest. Oliver throws a party to give him an Alibi while he sets his plan in motion. He then calls Diggle and revealed that it was his plan to get caught by the cameras all along. He asked Diggle to wear the hood to stop a German Arms dealer named Leo Mueller from selling high grade weapons to street gangs.

 

To convince Detective Lance, Oliver offers to have a polygraph test which Sarah advised against. The test stress Oliver more than he expected and started remembering being tortured in the island by Deathstroke when he was captured by unknown armed men looking for the hooded archer.

 

 

While the Party was ongoing, Diggle was tracking down the Mueller and stopped the deal while making sure that there are witnesses. An assassin was tasked to kill Oliver since he is suspected to be the hooded vigilante. Detective Lance was just on time to stop the assassin. All charges were dropped after. Oliver then paid Mueller a visit and stopped the deal from going through permanently.

 

Moira then meets with a member of organization were people on Oliver’s list are part of. Moira told him that she was not happy with the assassination attempt and threatens to revealed their identity if they would harm her family.

 

During all of this Walter asked Josiah Hudson, head of security of Queen Consolidated, to take the Queen’s Gambit (the yacht that shipwrecked five years ago) to a safer location. Later on Hudson was died mysteriously with a car accident. Walter confronted Moira and when she told him to stop digging deeper, Walter took a business trip to Melbourne Australia and left the house indefinitely.

 

This is another great episode. The fight scene between the hooded archer and Deathstroke was fantastic. The flashback on island tells us more of how Oliver got the scars and how much he has to go though to survive in the island. I am curious if Deathstroke is dead. Remember in the Pilot, Deathstoke’s mask on the shore while an arrow is holding it up. I can’t wait to see more flashback
