Arrow Recap: Drugs Are Bad, Mkay?

“Girl, you crazy.”

In the Arrow workshop, Oliver suits up and voiceovers that he gave Somers the chance to do the right thing, but since going after Laurel, it is as they say, on. 

At the docks, Somers is packing up all his shit and talking about how the Triad is now going to erase all evidence of the smuggling after the botched hit on Laurel, including him. 

“Have you seen my lucky cufflinks?”

He orders that his boat be ready to leave that very night.  Arrow makes his presence known which lights a fire under Somers’ ass. 

Back at Laurel’s her father the Dicktective tells her that she’s going to recuse herself from the case tomorrow.  She is of course not having any of that shit.  He thinks she’s being reckless, but she sees it as making the city safer just like him.  DD gets called away to the docks.

Arrow is engaged in an all out fight against an army of goons at the docks, and he’s owning them.  If this were Halo, he’d have teabagged about 10 corpses by now.  He catches up to Somers and traps him against a crate. 

Those archery classes at the YMCA on the mysterious island really paid off.

Arrow gets Somers to admit that the Triad killed the man, acting on his orders.  China shows up and tells Arrow to move away from Somers in Chinese.  Sorry, I’m just not good enough to peg the dialect.  The two proceed to spar, and I really question her weapon choice of 5-inch blades.

High kick alert!  My favorite time.

I just realized that one of the factors adding to my excitement of the fighting scenes is the excellent soundtrack.  It’s dark and panicky and makes me so nervous!

The popo show up, and both Arrow and CW book it.  DD pulls a gun on Arrow and tells him to freeze.  He orders the bow to be put down, but Arrow throws a knife his way and expelliarmuses DD’s gun and disappears.  DD notices that what Robin Hoodie threw was some sort of dart with a blinkind light, so he hits a button on it.  It’s a recording Arrow took of Somers’ confession!  Arrow loves a versatile tool.

At the opening of the deceased Queen’s Applied Science Center, Tommy runs into Laurel and throws her a little shade.

“Hello, Laurel.  You look like a whore as usual.”

She says that Oliver invited her last night, and based on Tommy’s reaction asks if it’s surprise or jealousy.  I’d say it’s jealousy, but not the way you’re thinking, honey.  Oliver interrupts and shows up on the arms of two skankety bitches.  He makes a scene because he’s decided everyone needs to see him as he wants them to.  An incapable asshole.
