3/10
Predictable and a Little Insulting

Warning: Spoilers
Alright I'm just going to go through the good and then the bad.

The Lian Yu parts of the episode were well done as they tend to be.

Other than that the only real light of the episode was with Laurel and the DA position. That could of be something that works out great.

And now I'll get to were the episode let the viewers down.

The Andy part of the story was underwhelming. It was obvious he was on Dark's side and the feud that ensued between Oliver and Diggle was poor writing.

And to top that off the "death" of Laurel Lance is a cheap shot to get tears going. The last thing Laurel says to Oliver before the camera cuts from the scene is that she wouldn't take the DA job because she couldn't stop being Black Canary. And then she asks Oliver for a favor.

It's obvious that she want Oliver to fake her death because her identity is compromised from being brought into the hospital in costume. She's going to be fine next episode and Oliver is going to apologize and say he had to make it seem real.

For the most part this episode was not up to par for the viewers.

The show still has potential but they need to step it up for the remaining episodes.
