geebsTV commentary:
Arrow- Wow, that was shockingly quick! I thought they would drag out the whole Felicity's not knowing her father is the Calculator thing, but turns out he had discovered she was Overwatch and purposely sought her out. He feels closer to his daughter now, knowing they're both "hacktivists" and "vigilantes". Yes, he claims what he's doing is the same is what she and her team do!
Her mom tells her she can trust him, and indeed, she takes him for a tour of Palmer tech, and after she finds a device he left behind that would sniff all the nearby data out. Later, she asks her dad why he left, and he claims it was because the cops were after him and he didn't want to put Felicity and Donna through a life on the run. She thinks that's bullshit, that he's telling her that because that's what he think she wants to hear, and so she has Detective Lance arrest him.
In the main plot of the ep, Team Arrow tries to resolve the conflict between Nyssa and Malcolm as bloodlessly as possible (which they're not really successful at, since plenty of innocents get killed when Nyssa and Malcolm's followers fight it out in the streets of Starling City). Laurel and Ollie talk to Nyssa and Malcolm, respectively, trying to get Nyssa to give Thea the cure if Malcolm gives up leadership to her.
Malcolm refuses, claiming he's protecting the world by keeping a dangerous group like the League of Assassins under his hands. So there's no choice but for Nyssa and Malcolm to duel. But then Ollie claims Nyssa's place in the duel as he husband. (Which, Nyssa wanted him to fight Malcolm initially because she didn't think she could beat him, which is total BS that Ollie is supposed to be a better fighter than her) He defeats Malcolm, but doesn't kill him like Nyssa would have. Instead, he cuts off his hand, taking the ring and giving it to Nyssa.
But, to prove she's not the threat Malcolm claims her to be, she disbands the league and destroys Ra's ring. Heh, though is it really wise to just let a bunch of trained assassins loose to do whatever the hell they want? I'm sure some of them wanted to leave the life, but surely there are a bunch of psychopaths amongst them who now no longer have a leash holding them back. In any case, for all Malcolm's talk, he's pretty pissed that the League is gone, and with it, his power.
In fact, he's so pissed, the little bitch tells Damien about Ollie's son. What a dick!
