TV commentary:
Arrow- Finally! So we find out Digg has been getting his drug supply from Ricardo Diaz, who also happens to be the new bad guy, the Dragon. Digg balances the team trying to take him down with grabbing as much of that supply as he can, but the Dragon burns it all.
Which, does Richard know Diggle is the Arrow, and did that to spite him? Because if Digg knows the Dragon knows who he is, that bears mentioning. At the very least, he had come clean to his wife earlier in the ep. And after telling Lyla he seriously considered rushing into the flames to get some of that drugs, he realizes he has a problem, and apologizes to her. Then he resolves to tell the team.
Well, sans Olicity, since they're busy playing house after he got back. But the team is very forgiving. Rene is all, sure, he did get hurt that one time since Digg hesitated because of his tremor, but if they're going by times he hurt him vs times he saved him, Digg is still way ahead.
Curtis is offended... that he didn't come to him. He rightfully pointed out that he helped Felicity freaking walk again, so why not come to him to fix this problem?!
John then apologizes to Dinah for lying to her, and they promise to keep no more secrets. And then Dinah totally fingers the box Vigilante gave her, so she's the one keeping secrets now.
As for the whole Slade thing, Ollie tells Slade the way to get to Joe is to show he's back to being a good man now that he's off the Mirakuru. Unfortunately, Joe totally saw him kill that guy when they were kids, and he ended up actually idolizing the Mirakuru-infected Deathstroke, not this weak goody goody he is now.
He does drop the fact that he has another son Grant, whom his mom hid from him, which I guess we saw was evil and fighting Digg Jr in 2046 on LoT?
Supernatural- Finally here too. Dean comes around to being decent to Jack. Prolly because he's in a good mood now that Cas is back. Unfortunately, during the case of the week, Jack accidentally kills an innocent when he blasts at the bad guy.
He's feeling ultra guilty, and the guys tell him stuff like that happens, but he won't have it, he thinks he's the monster they're afraid he might be. Maybe a good thing to say would be the very fact that he's agonizing over this means he's not a monster.
Gotham- And so it continues. Penguin continues to wonder if he can trust Sofia, settling on cannot when he figures she's the one who got Jim promoted. But then she's back on his good side when she does try to eat the people pie (which is kinda karma for Penguin, since he served his stepsiblings to his stepmom) so Pyg won't hurt the little mute kid.
But then she's back to being on his bad side when the kid tells him he saw her and Jim kissing.
Orville- She is indeed lucky! Because the stuff she did does sound like a huge breach of protocol. Like using her code to lock out their override codes. I would think the Doctor should've been more suspicious about the short term memory loss drug thing. Like I'm sure there could totally be a security reason for it, but I would think normally that would be accompanied by other suspicious activity.
Like if they had just visited a base, or got a high priority call. Not just randomly, and especially after it was clear she was totally traumatized by the dead crew member.
