Arrow Season 1 Episode 8: Vendetta


Don’t read if you haven’t seen the episode
 
Helena Bertinelli continues her quest for vengeance as she targets the head of the Triad but Oliver was there to stop her. Reluctant at first, Helena agreed to let Oliver teach her how to bring down his father without any unnecessary killing. Diggle doesn’t approve Oliver’s partnership with Helena as he had told Oliver that she can’t be trusted. Oliver goes through with his plan hoping that Helena would turn a new leaf. He thought her how to conceal her identity and tried to teach her how to use an arrow. But instead he gave her a crossbow.
 
Tommy Merlyn is still unemployed and Laurel suggested that he ask Oliver for a job with the new night club that Oliver is planning to start. Tommy and Laurel met Helena and Oliver on a restaurant. Helena suggested that Tommy and Laurel join them in the table since the two are still waiting for their table. Things started to go weird as Helena learned that Oliver used to date Laurel who is now dating his best friend. Helena stormed out of the restaurant and the two had a fall out. Tommy and Laurel also had a fight since Laurel unintentionally embarrassed him by asking Oliver for the Job before Tommy was able to talk to him.
 
Helena then targeted the Triad and managed to kill the head but before leaving he told one of the survivors that Frank Bertinelli was responsible for the hit. The Triad retaliated and China White led her men to Bertinelli residence and killed most of the men guarding it. With all the commotion, Frank opened his safe and took the laptop that holds evidence of the crime that he and his former associate, Nick Salvati, committed.  As he was trying to escape Helana shot him with an arrow and revealed that she was responsible for the killing of his associates and ruining of his company. She was about to kill him when Oliver shot an arrow that threw the crossbow a few feet away. She then started to fight Oliver when Frank got the crossbow and shot Helena . Oliver then knocked Frank asleep and rescued Helena before the cops arrest her.
 
Back in his hideout, Helena was still angry that Oliver tried to stop her from killing her father. She was not satisfied with him just being arrested. She believes that she will get justice on when his father is dead. Tommy then asked Oliver for the job and told him that he was cut off from his trust fund. Oliver immediately agreed to hire him.
 
The episode is not bad. Although I think that Helena ’s jealously over Laurel being the cause for their breakup and her refusal to take a more righteous path is quite lame. But then again she is already unstable as it is. As Oliver has mentioned that she has already gone over the edge. We all learn that the first name of Tommy’s father is Malcolm.
 
I just don’t get one thing though. In the previous episodes Oliver seems to be pulling away from Tommy but in this episode it seems that they like friends again. I don’t know if it is just me but he is always cold when talking to Tommy in the previous episode. Did anyone notice it?
 
When China White got shot with an arrow, does that mean she is dead since there were no indications after the attack in the Bertinelli residence that she is alive? If she is already dead then that sucks! I hope she isn’t. She was great opponent for the Green Arrow. I guess this is goodbye to the Huntress for now. We all have to wait if she returns again in future episodes.

Arrow Season 1 Episode 7: Muse of Fire

Don’t read if you have not seen the episode
 
Moira was taking to Paul Caponi, an associate of mob boss Frank Bertinelli, when Oliver arrived to picked her up for lunch. Moments later an unknown gunman shot Caponi and killed him. Oliver tried to catch the shooter but was unsuccessful.
Later Oliver discovered that Caponi is connected to Frank Bertinelli. He decided to talk meet with Frank to find out more about the shooter. Frank later introduced her daughter Helena and asked them to have dinner together to discuss further their business arrangement.
 
Later Oliver and Helena found out that they have more in common that they realized. They have the same darkness within them. Oliver had to take a phone call for Deagle and Helena was left inside the Russo Restaurant. Later Frank’s men are terrorizing Mr. Russo and asking for his payment for Frank’s protection.
 

Caponi’s shooter appeared in the scene and later Oliver has donned the head and helped the shooter in clearing out the bad guys. Oliver broke the helmet of the shooter and he learns that Helena is the person that he is looking for all along.
 
Further in the episode Frank’s right hand Nick Salvati, kidnapped Helena and Oliver. Nick confessed that her Father ordered killing Helena ’s fiancée, Michael Staton, and Nick was the one who killed him. Angered by what she learned, Helena broke out of her bondage and killed Nick. Oliver was able to get free and help Helena . After killing Nick, Helena told Oliver the same line that he used in the pilot episode: No one can know my secret.
 


Back in Helena ’s apartment, Oliver was waiting in the living room. Helena told him that it the vigilante comes and go as he pleases. Helena realized that Oliver was the hooded vigilante when she saw him fight. Before the episode was finishes they ended up kissing.
 
Also in the episode, the well dressed man visited Moira in her home. In the scene it revealed that Moira and the well dressed man are more than colleagues in the secret organization but are close friends. On the Tommy front, his credit card was rejected while paying for the dinner that he and Laurel were having. He later confronted his father about it. His father has cut off Tommy’s inheritance. It is revealed that the well dressed man is Tommy’s father. Also in the episode Walter returns home to Moira.
 
 
In this episode, Arrow has introduced another Comic character. Helena Bertinelli is also known as the huntress. But in the comics, the huntress hails from Gotham City and not Starling City . In some of the DC stories, Helena donned the Batgirl costume for while during Batman’s absence. Eventually batman made her give up the outfit as he is about to assign it to another person, Cassandra Cain. She is described as violent and ruthless and her willingness to kill has made her an outcast among her colleagues. I don’t know if that is a good move since comic fan would definitely react differently about it. Let’s see if it pays off.
 
When they revealed that the well dressed man is Tommy’s father I somehow have an Idea how they will break the Oliver-Tommy friendship up. My theory is that eventually Oliver would go after Tommy’s father as he is a member of the organization. He might end up killing him or would do something that would anger Tommy. Tommy would find out and would seek his revenge. Well that’s just my theory. It’s better that the Love triangle angle. But it also explains why Oliver is keeping his distance from Tommy. Maybe he was preparing himself for the time that he will go after his best friend’s father. It is a relief to know the identity of Tommy’s father. It is way better than calling him the well dressed man. The fight scenes are great in this episode. The appearance of China White simply means we will see her again which is great by the way. I want to see her fight the huntress. What are your thoughts?
