- Quotes
John Diggle: You want to tell me what's going on now?
Oliver Queen: Ra's predicted this. He said the city would turn against me and I would die alone. And when we come back, and the first thing that happens is Lance shutting me out, and... I see Felicity with Palmer. It's like he looked into my future.
John Diggle: Sounds to me Ra's is playing with your head. Question is, why are you letting him?
Oliver Queen: He wants me to take his place in the League of Assassins. That's why he let us go. As a sign of good faith.
John Diggle: Is there even a world where he can imagine you saying yes?
Oliver Queen: He said I can do more as the new Ra's than I can ever do as Oliver Queen or the Arrow. That I would have unlimited resources. That I could make a difference, not just a dent.
John Diggle: You're not really considering this. Just because Captain Lance is angry and Felicity is momentarily unavailable.
Oliver Queen: It's more than that. I just... John, tell my honestly... What have we accomplished?
John Diggle: [sighs] Oliver...
Oliver Queen: All the people that we put away, John, they got out. The city is no better off. The Arrow is not... is not making a difference. And if I just can't be me... and the Arrow isn't enough...
John Diggle: Oliver...
Oliver Queen: Then maybe I should be Ra's al Ghul.

Everything else is done really well. The acting is solid and the characters so far are still believable as in the previous two seasons. The story is very emotional and it raises the stakes for Oliver to make his choice to either become Ra's Al Ghul or not. The pacing is fine for the most part and there are some good moments particularly with Team Arrow, the conversation of Thea and Malcolm Merlyn, the conversation of Ra's and Oliver as he explains why he needs a replacement to make the pool of water's healing effects work, and the chemistry between Oliver and Felicity. It also delivers on it's action and the music is top-notch!
Overall, The Offer is nearly a perfect episode, but everything else makes up for and it sets up nicely to what would happen in the next episode! Recommended!
