Arrow Recap: Pleasantly Surprised

GA quickly dispatches those punk bitch bodyguards and gets Hunt on the ground, who says to tell him what he wants.

“I really, really, really, wanan ziggazig ah.”

GA tells hunt to transfer $40 million into a particular bank account or he will take it painfully.  Why not just kill this motherfucker?  He obviously has no compunction over taking a life.

The next scene answers that.  Hunt is telling the detective that the guy was wearing a green hood, backing up Ollie’s previous story.  With this theft of $40 million and a green hood are we to read this as a modern day Robin Hood?  Oh then Detective Dick makes a RH remark, which Hunt does not appreciate.  What is with this detective?  I bet even his dog thinks he’s an asshole.

Ollie heads out to his party and finds Diggle waiting for him in the backseat.  Tommy introduces Ollie to the guests at what looks like a converted mall, complete with escalators, which provides me with a little more fantasy material.

At this point, I’m grasping at straws.

Ollie makes a big show about being a party boy, I suppose to deflect any suspicion that he could be a serious super hero.  Adam Hunt’s posse is preparing with lots of ammo, and it turns out the party is across the street from him.  How convenient for Ollie!  He can “go to the bathroom,” kick some ass, and be back in no time.  Ollie notices his sister buying drugs and heads off to lecture her on the evils of narcotics.  Kaitlin Cooper gives us a sob story about being left alone when Ollie and their dad died, so apparently she’s coped with drugs.  She then thinks she dropped her drugs, but Ollie was a good brother and pickpocketed her purse. 

Ollie literally runs into Ruby, and she bullshits that Tommy convinced her to give him another chance.  I hope she’s going to pull out some black canary shit and go after Hunt!  You guys, I am genuinely enjoying this show!

So much pretty on one screen!

Ruby apologizes for what she said earlier today, and she asks Ollie if her sister suffered when she died.  Ollie is a good guy and lies to her.  She offers her ample bosom for Ollie to cry on, but his phone buzzes, and we see that the money hasn’t been transferred yet, so it’s time to take care of business.  He tells Ruby that the island didn’t change him and that he’s the same jackass he always was, so she needs to step off and get her titties out of his face.  Awww.  Classic super hero.

You can cry on my bosom any time!

Diggle tries to stop Oliver as he’s heading out to beat some bad guys, so Ollie puts him in a sleeper hold as nicely as possible.  Adam Hunt and his goons are on lockdown in his spacious quarters, and we see that GA has shot a zipline arrow next to the window.
