The power goes out in Hunt’s place, and the only lighting is emergency nightlights. The elevator dings and an arrow flies through the opening doors, taking out one of the baddies. GA takes out a few more guys with punches, bowhits, parkour moves, and a Xenia Onatopp thigh strangle. I wouldn’t mind that last part.
Somebody put her makeup on in the car.
GA dispatches all of Hunt’s mansciples except for a special security expert he brought on especially for tonight. Good henchmen are so hard to find these days.
Talk about a reach-around.
Detective Douchebag is heading up with all of the kings horses and all the kings men to snatch up Green Arrow, who finally manages to shoot an arrow and subdue the remaining baddie. But now he’s all passed out on the floor after having spent so much energy wrangling enemies with his strong, strong thigh muscles.
The cops are started to show up, but luckily GA rouses and pulls a bullet from his armored hoodie. The cops shoot at him, but he jumps out a window and takes the zipline back down to his party. The authorities then show up at the party and Ollie greets them to play dumb. Ollie plays his dumb frat boy angle and offers anyone who can find the hoodie fellow $2 million. Detective Dickface gets all up in Ollie’s grill and asks him if he even tried to save his daughter. DD’s partner said Sarah wouldn’t want this, revealing him as Sarah and Ruby’s father.
Tommy confronts Ollie saying what a coincidence it was that he asked ot have his own party there and the same guy who rescued them previously attacked across the street. He then asks what happened on the island, to which Ollie says “a lot.”
What happens on the island stays on the island.
Hunt is freaking out because $40 million has been stolen from him without a trace. The camera pans to the wall behind Hunt where GA shot an arrow before. He intended to miss and is using a device on the arrow to transfer the money. Ollie scratches Adam Hunt off the list in his diary and we see money transfers going into many different accounts.
Flashback to the rescue boat. Old Queen is telling Ollie to be strong and survive. He then pulls a gun out of his lifevest (they make special pockets for those) and shoots the third guy who falls overboard! He tells Ollie once more to survive and turns the gun on himself. I guess Ollie had a better chance with supplies by himself. Damn, yo, this shit is dark.
On the phone, Ruby tells someone that if hypothetically $50,000 showed up in there bank account, it would be best not to speak about it. Ever. She’s not looking this gift horse in the mouth. Her Adam Hunt clients have all been receiving these transfers. How the hell do I get in on a racket like this?
If you like it, spread it!:

I liked it, especially Oliver’s workout routine. They need to show more of that, less of David Cassidy’s daughter. She and Oliver had ZERO chemistry. What poor casting for Black Canary. She must give great blowjobs ‘cuz girl keeps getting roles but she couldn’t act her way out of a wet paperbag.
The premiere was pretty good but the show would be great if Oliver and Tommy became lovers with sex scenes each episode.
Just sayin’.
I mainly watched this because I love superhero and fantasy shows,but based on the commercials I had kind of low expectations. Which is probable good since I had high expectations for Grimm and turned out to be disappointing. But I really like this show, I thinks it helps that I don’t know much about Green Arrow. I love that he’s already Green Arrow. I was kind expecting this to be an origin story, but I’m glad it’s not.
I need to watch this show! I forgot to DVR it, but at least I got to read your awesome recap so I wont be far behind.
wish they had used the guy who played green arrow on smallville………..wonder if superman will show up..i have 1st eps on my computer so have not seen it yet..
This recap was great and full of snark. Best line that summed up while I will be watching next week – “Then Queenie is shirtless for no good reason, so this show is really shaping up to be good.” They really just need to spend about five minutes on GA’s workout routine, but only if he is shirtless the whole time.
I have never heard of the Green Arrow comics so I am happy that they are giving back story to the character.
“I said Diagon Alley”
Hahahahahahaha
