Arrow Recap: Pleasantly Surprised

 Looks fine to me!

 After a little reunion with his mother, Ollie heads home.  Walter Steele, a friend of his father’s from the company, is there to greet them.  I think he might have stepped in for Ollie’s father and started knocking boots with the mother.  He also has a somewhat evil vibe.  Ollie’s little sister gives him a hug, and she’s portrayed by that slut Kaitlin Cooper from The OC.

 “I fucked all your friends while you were gone.”

Then we meet Laurel Lance, played by Katie Cassidy!  I love this bitch.  She’s been in a lot of trash, but her stint in as Ruby on Supernatural years ago cemented my devotion.  I also cheated and found out that her character is the Black Canary!  So she’ll be getting to do some super heroics of her own.  Hopefully also while wearing a tight bodysuit and delivering many a high kick.

 “Yes I AM a lawyer.”

She and her pretty friend chat about how they’re lawyers and they have some big class action lawsuit.  I’m guessing she’s going to take matters into her own hands and dish out some old school vigilanteism.  She stares at newspaper clippings of some bad guy named Adam Hunt for a few hot seconds before she overhears that Queenie is alive.

Uh oh, it turns out her sister Sarah was on that boat and also died, so she turns that shit off but quick. 

Then Queenie is shirtless for no good reason, so this show is really shaping up to be good.  One of the creators is Greg Berlanti of Smallville fame, and for some reason I know that he’s gay, so I’m hoping he’ll keep the gratuitous manmeat present.

I’m getting the Blanche Devereaux-style vapors over here.

At least they didn’t get his pretty face.

Ollie narrates that everything is different now, and we’re treated to a flashback of theboat before the accident happened.  We learn that he was fucking Ruby’s sister and that his dad warned him that it wouldn’t finish well “for either of them or for you.”  It would seem he was boning both sisters?  His friend Tommy Merlyn comes over for dinner, and more cheating reveals that his character is a super villain who also uses a bow and arrow!  Uh oh, now they’re on some Lex Luthor shit.

“Am I going to have to spank you?”

Tommy fills Ollie in on what he missed, mostly citing boring sports crap.  Ollie’s sister asks him what it was like on the island, and the only response is “cold.”  Jesus, you were on an island, not kidnapped by a serial rapist.  He says he wants to stop by the office tomorrow, and his mother and Steele are a little surprised and Steele tries to dismiss the idea.  I’m sure he’s taken over Ollie’s father’s company and is running it in a new, more evil direction.
