Arrow Recap: Drugs Are Bad, Mkay?

Back on the island (what is this, Lost?) Oliver spots the lifeboat which has his father’s body in it, and he shoos some seagulls away.  Those bitches will eat anything.  He picks the body up and walks away.

Back at sexy young woman DA office with Laurel and her minions..oh oops, the blonde girl is the dead man’s daughter.  DD bursts in with cops and tells the three girls that they will be under protection during the trial.  For some reason, Laurel fights this.  Which only feeds my obsession with her kicking ass and becoming Black Canary. 

From what little I know of The Green Arrow in DC Comics, Laurel is actually the second Black Canary, and her mother was the first!  Maybe we have to wait until she discovers the truth about her mother and takes up her mantle.   I’m sure they want to stretch this shit into at least five seasons somehow.

Anywho, Laurel says protective custody didn’t work when she discovered boys, so it won’t work now.

“Nothing comes between me and cock.”

Somers is at his office (?) at the docks and greats a bitch in a white wig, whom we learn is a Triad member who smuggles drugs.  In the flashback to the murder of the man earlier, we saw a flash of white hair, so this must be the culprit.  And it’s Kelly Hu from X-2: X-Men United! 

Apparently she stole Storm’s wig from the first X-Men movie

If this bitch sprouts adamantium talons from her fingertips, I will die of extreme fanboygasm. 

Try not to be jealous of my mad MS Paint skillz.

Yuriko suggests killing the dead man’s daughter, but Somers poopoos on that idea, saying it would only make Laurel hungrier for Somers’ ass.  So she has the brilliant idea of killing Laurel.  Uh oh!  Sidebar.  Her character is a minor DC character named China White.  That also happens to be a name for high-grade heroin.  And the name of a song from an old Foxy Brown song that I can actually still remember the words to.

Shh!  Nobody tell Lil’ Kim!

Surprise!  Oliver is shirtless watching the news.

It’s been far too long.

Thea happens upon Ollie and is totes concerned about the myriad of scars on his sculpted frame.  She asks what happened to him on the island, but he shuts the shit down and doesn’t want to talk about it.  She pouts that he never wants to talk to her about anything except to judge her.  He puts her off by saying that he needs to get better at talking about what happened but that he needs to get better first.  Was he stuck on gangrape island or something?
