I didn't expect the future story would be great but seeing this episode I was blown away in how good the writing was, making us understand and care for Mia and Felicity. The episode also featured some of the best fight sequences of the season since the prison, showing brutal fight moves and giving everyone a light to shine whilst letting Mia get the spotlight and her moves are incredible. James Bamford directed the episode and he has quite a reputation of stunt work and it showed, I want him to direct more episodes as he is talented in directing and stunt work and choreography.
Katherine McNamara plays Mia Queen in such a great way, mysterious and bad ass and at the end of things showing off that she's a good actress. I hope we get to see her more in season 8 and possibly a future spin off, really liking the character development and the overall character. In the episode we get to see a cameo from one of my favorite Arrow characters, Nyssa al Ghul. The role she has in the episode is small but perfect, training Mia in martial arts and archery, making her father proud.
