“Fine by me.”

Moira Queen lets Thea stay home from school, and Oliver does not approve.  He tells Moira that when he was Thea’s age, he could have used less space and more parenting.  And that all the lipstick in the world won’t hide that mole.

I’m glad Patricia’s mole from Top Chef Masters got work after reality tv.

Detective Dick is at the Holder crime scene, and he doesn’t think that Robin Hoodie did the deed.  At Arrow hq, Oliver is doing some science on bloody gauze from his wound.

“Science.”

He determines that the bullets were laced with curare, and does a database search for this unique modus operandi.  The killer has struck  all over the world, and Interpol has nicknamed him Deadshot.  We then see him in some dingy room, tattooing the name of his latest victim on his arm.  Just as you’re thinking, well he must have lots of tattoos, it serves as another excuse for shirtlessness.  And I’m not complaining.  In fact, I’m applauding.

Killer tats.

Oliver takes Tommy and Diggle to the broke down Queen warehouse that houses his secret headquarters.  He suggests turning the place into a nightclub.  They joke about private one-on-on  and two-on-one meetings.

Tommy isn’t joking.

Tommy thinks they need to do some nightclub research, so he suggests going to club Poison, then he has to “roll.”  Oliver asks Diggle what he thinks, and Diggle says that rich white kids wouldn’t come to this part of town.  But Oliver is confident his name will draw them.  Then when it’s successful, they can gentrify the neighborhood.  Just no hipsters please.

We cut to Whaurel who is reading about Oliver’s club plans and performing fellatio on a pen.

“Why is your tongue blue?”

Her colleague Joanna accuses her of still being into Oliver.  She reminds Whaurel that he cheated on her with her sister.  She also reminds her that she was boning Tommy.  What a good friend.  They make plans to go out that night, and I assume they’ll be at Poison.

At Queen Manor, Moira grounds Thea for two weeks.  It seems Oliver’s judgment is paying off.  Thea calls it, and basically ungrounds herself.  Send this bitch to boarding school.

Oliver is trying to find the location where the shooter fired a bullet, and pakours himself up a building wall.  He digs out the bullet and stares at it.

 This man sure does fill out a pair of jeans nicely.

At the police station we learn that the shots in Holder were fired from about 100 yards away.  They confirm that the bullets were poisoned, but it seems Robin Hoodie didn’t kill Holder.

    At this point, all the island needs is a polar bear.

    I’m still liking this show despite all the flaws. I hope the reveal to Diggle means that they won’t be using the voiceovers any more, because they are terrible. I also liked that they lost the “case of the weeK” story with Laurel, because she is completely unconvincing as a lawyer. Like, Katie Holmes in Batman levels of bad.

    Also, the corporate “auction” was the most f*ing hilarious thing ever. You don’t buy companies at a black-tie family event. The business world does not actually use Sotheby’s when a company goes bankrupt.

    @timgunssister I totally felt the Power Rangers vibe when he fought China White last week. But I think he has his moments! Maybe it was just her suckitude. I loved Laurel’s kidney punches, etc., I practically cheered. That eyepiece made me groan. It was so unnecessary and cheapened the show.

    @s-k-s “Katie Homles in Batman levels of bad” LOL. Unfortunately I caught a commercial that showed Diggle immediately attacking Oliver, so hopefully he gets that out of his system quickly. I agree that the voiceovers are useless.

    See you guys next week!

    I’m enjoying the show so far, but the female characters are rather unlikable. And yeah, I don’t buy Laurel as a lawyer either.

    Thank God for the shirtless workout montages.

    Whaurel (and Katie Cassidy) suck major ass. I liked Felicity and her short exchange with Ollie/Arrow much more. They actually had some chemistry.
