Oliver was about to go about in tracking Scott Morgan (another name on his father’s list). Morgan cuts the power of those who can’t pay their bills without considering the consequences as long as he gets rich.

 

Oliver reveals that the name of the hooded Archer, Yao Fei who taught everything that he now knows while being in island. Oliver and Diggle were sparring when a robbery on the news caught Diggle’s attention.

 

 A cop was shot during the robbery and Diggle argued that Oliver should be involved in capturing the robbers. Oliver was reluctant and was focus on the people on his list. Later Diggle tricked Oliver that Morgan was on the hospital but instead it was Stan Washington, the cop who got shot. Oliver was forced to take care of the medical bills. Oliver was angry not because of the hospital bills but it was because Diggle tricked him. Oliver then agreed to hunt the Royal Flush gang.

 

The robbers are part of a family headed by Derek Reston. Oliver later found out that Derek was an employee of Queen Consolidated and lost his job when Robert Queen closed the Queen Steel Factory and outsourced the work to China in 2007.

 

Oliver talked to Derek to convince him to stop before it was too late. But Derek decided to honor his Kyle’s (Derek’s eldest son) wishes and do one more job. But everything went wrong and Derek was shot by the security guard.

 

Also in this episode, Tommy offers to help Laurel set up a fundraiser to help CNRI legal office afloat. At first Laurel did not want his help but Tommy was persistent in proving that he is guy worth dating Laurel .

 

Warren Christie (plays Cameron Hicks in Alphas) guest stars as Carter Bowen, a neurosurgeon who went to high school with Oliver, Tommy and Laurel. Carter was always being compared to Oliver by Moira when he was younger. The Bowen’s are coming to visit Moira and has asked Oliver to be present. Oliver was late for lunch and had to leave immediately causing her mother to ask him why he ever bother to come back. L

 

Laurel had to dance with him to make him help their cause in keeping CNRI afloat.  During the

Thea shows jealously when she found out that Tommy plans to date Laurel . Tommy points out that Thea is like a little sister to her which Thea did not take well.

 

Thea is starting to irritate me somehow. You know in some of the show there is this teenager who thinks she knows what good for her but ends up getting to trouble. She reminds me of Jenny Humphrey from that Gossip Girl Show. I understand that she had to go through hell when she lost Oliver and Robert but grow up already. Although it adds drama to the show I think it is too much sometimes. I hope they don’t plan for Tommy and Thea to date and somehow push Tommy to the Dark side because we all know that Merlyn is Green arrow’s arch enemy. Or maybe the Laurel-Oliver-Tommy will get more complicated which would make Tommy go over the edge. Another theory is that Tommy’s parent or parents are on his list. Well I am just speculating here but who knows.
