Arrow: Seeing Red (2014)
Been 9 years, still one of the best episodes
The variety and complexity of the character of Moira is presented to perfection--a calculating women full of secrets, an ambitious candidate trying to right her wrong about the Glades, and also a loving parent who takes care of his children through her whole life.
The flashback scenes always match fluently in the Arrow, while in this episode, the story of Moira standing by Oliver years ago echoes exquisitely to the main story--she died protecting her children.
"You possess true courage", even Slade was impressed and then took back his gun for seconds.
"I know...Except I could not be more proud", probably most touching encouragement Oliver heard since his crusade.
The murder of Moira no doubt pave the way for a more intense finale between Oliver and Slade. Similarly, the fact that Oliver never give up on Roy also foreshadows his important role in finale. Where does Sara go? Is Thea going to find out about Merlin? Since Sebastian will become the mayor, how and when will Oliver find out he's the one behind the skull? Oliver started the episode by the rule of not killing, will he forgive Slade, his mother's killer, in the end? All that add to more suspense.
