He and Diggle are sparring with. . . metal batons?  I dunno.  Maybe they are going to practice twirling afterward.  Oliver is playing sensei to Diggs, and we learn that O.G. Hoodie’s name was Yao Fei.  All too quickly, the shirtless training is over, and Oliver wants info on Scott Morgan.  This douche bag runs water and power in the Glades and jacks up prices when people can’t pay and shuts bitches down even when it’s, like, totally cold outside.  Diggs says that shit couldn’t even happen for a month and shows Ollie info on the Royal Flush Gang.

Daaaaaaamn, Diggle, why you been hiding all that?

Ollie shits all over that idea, saying that the police will be on it like Delta Burke on a turkey.  Diggs tries to get Ollie to help since cops are overworked and underpaid, but Miss Queen simply will not budge.  She’s got her panties in a twist and will only go for the root of the problems in the city.

Twisted panties.

Ollie says he’s not a hero, and we flash to the Cave of Wonders.  Past Ollie rips a page from the blank diary.  He must be really desperate for rolling papers.  He uses it to fuel the pathetic fire next to him, then hallucinates that his father is present.  Or is he?

PRESENT

Whaurel is bitching about losing a donor, and he coworker (I still am not sure on her name, Michelle I think?) blames it on the economy.

“IN THIS ECONOMY!’

Seriously though, that is the excuse for everything.  Global warming?  A shitty economy!  Taylor Swift?  A this economy!  Patreus’ infidelity?  THIS ECONOMY!  Tommy shows up and wants to whisk Whaurel away on some rich people shit.  She blasts him for his selfishness, and complains about losing their donor some more.

Good thing the economy hasn’t affected her breasts.

The remaining Queens chat in their mansion, and Moira has been talking to the mother of one Carter Bowen.  Some apparently perfect son that Moira has wetted her seat about in the past.

“Did you hear???  Carter Bowen didn’t get lost at sea for five years!”

The Bowens are coming for brunch tomorrow, and the Queen kids are expected to show up.  How hard is it to show up to a fucking free meal?  Spoiled ass bitches.  When my family offers a free bagel, my ass is there with bells on.

No Diggity calles Ollie to tell him that Scott Morgan tried to kill himself, and tells him to get his ass to the hospital tout de suite.  But Tommy shows up to be a bad influence and flaunt his wealth of sports cars and bullshit.

    I am watching to show still, simply for the shirtless Oliver parts. They need to have more of those, lots more. I really dislike Oliver’s hair, both his ‘present’ hair and the wicked bad wig they put him in for the island parts. Is it wrong to say that Oliver is hot when he has on the Green Arrow make-up?

    I think they are going to have Whaurel & Tommy develop more and get a little serious. Then she is going to dump him for Oliver. That will set up the whole Tommy becoming evil and hating Oliver story-line. I have never read the comics so that is purely my guess.

    How old is Thea? She was acting like a teenager, but for her to actually like Tommy, I am guessing 18, just finishing high school. I don’t know. All these 20-something actress playing teenagers makes it hard to guess age.

    I am still loving the show, although some of my opinions on the characters have changed. I like Tommy a lot, and don’t want him to be an enemy of Oliver, but if it expands his role, it could be good! I love a good villain.

    What I don’t get is what is so great about Laurel…seriously, she’s a bit high and mighty for my liking. Why do all these guys fawn over her like she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread? Not sure it’s believable that both Oliver AND Tommy would want to give up their playboy ways for someone like her. I mean, at the very least they’d have an awful in-law to deal with!

    Thea actually intrigues me…with so many references to “Speedy” which is supposedly her comic book alter ego, maybe we’ll be seeing her in superhero form sooner than expected? And I’m starting to like Moira, even though she might turn out to be a huge bitch. I like characters with a lot of depth and motivations.

    Don’t like Dead Dad at all. Well, okay, I didn’t like Oliver’s hallucination of him. I’m pretty sure it isn’t Oliver’s problem if you fucked over the entire city, you don’t have to be such a royal prick about it, figment of Oliver’s imagination!

    Does him throwing some of the papers in the fire mean his list of who to take revenge on is incomplete?

    I like this show. I’m watching for the Green Arrow parts though.

    I’m thinking Tommy’s going to become an enemy because Oliver’s going to go after his father.

    I don’t understand how Thea thought Tommy was talking about her. Nothing he said or did implied that it was her. And she knew that him and Laurel had a thing before.

    @Andrea I was thinking the same thing. As soon as I saw him throwing pages in the fire, I figured out what was going to happen. It bothered me the whole episode.

    @carol I can still only see Thea as young Katilin Cooper on the OC, so my age range might be skewed.

    @andrea I’m poorly versed in DC, and I’m pleased to learn about the reference to Speedy! That could add some much needed depth to her character. Even if it is some ways down the line. And yes, Laurel does need a boost in likability and an injection of personality.

    @sagittariuskim I love your idea about Tommy/Oliver. That would be the only way to make a believable rift. I’m just hoping it’s not over Laurel.

    I’ve willingly suspended my disbelief and really enjoy \Arrow,\ but I’m bothered by his apparent mad computers skillz. As a dyed-in-the-wool dilettante he would hardly have been a computer geek before the fateful cruise, and it doesn’t look as though there’s any electricity on the island.

    But one look at these workout scenes and I realize it doesn’t matter after all. I’ll definitely keep watching.

    No more Arrow recaps? I read them faithfully, but due to the current changes at work and how this site has become ad-central I don’t comment.
