In a new exciting season for all, we complete the series with a new set of exciting and action events: It seems that Oliver is forced to ally with an old enemy. In prison, after Oliver surrendered, he will face many challenges and positions, and this may be the biggest challenge, while Felicity will get a very exciting show, and Digley asks Curtis to hide away from Argos. On the other hand, Felicity is trying to find Diaz by any means.

'Training Day' was a fun, self-contained adventure that allowed Team Arrow to return to the fold, but it was the episode's secondary narratives that proved the most interesting.
"Training Day" is the first episode of this season that seems firmly rooted in what's going on with the series right now. No loose ends. No course-correction... It's refreshing.
"Training Day" did little to capitalize on the simmering tensions between the police and Star City's vigilantes, resorting to poor storytelling logic, flimsy character motivations and a simplistic, convenient ending.
Arrow squandered an attempt to address the show's bizarre tendency toward injustice and instead doubled down on Team Arrow's refusal to honor privacy or due process.
We were stuck with a story that was as mundane as a story could get. Watching Team Arrow adjust to their new roles as members of the SCPD could've been fun and humorous, and it was in the first three minutes.
Exactly how they'd integrate into a field where bad guys, you know, have rights and stuff? "Training Day" takes a stab at answering that question, and though it fell into some predictable storytelling, it was still a story worth telling.
Oliver is determined to make this new arrangement work because both he and Felicity want to create a safe world for their child. Stephen Amell easily mined the humor out of Oliver forcing himself to be agreeable.
