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.

Oliver's arc so far has been interesting because he's so determined to do what needs to be done. Though everyone thinks he's not willing to cross any of those lines because everyone thinks he has this need to be a hero, he seems to surprise them.
With no flash forwards this episode, Arrow takes the opportunity to dive a bit deeper into Oliver and Felicity's do whatever it takes approach to their current situations.
Oliver is still in prison; however, it feels as though the show is starting to stack the deck in favor of him and the rest of the team returning to his vigilante ways once he makes it out.
While the flash-forward storyline may be the most exciting part of Arrow's new season, this week's episode proves that the series can get along just fine without it.
In the grand scheme of things on Arrow, it's really not that bad. I mean, Oliver has killed a lot of people, and not all of them for terribly horrifying crimes.
It wasn't highlighting that these individuals were behaving radically, it was highlighting why they were behaving radically... All in all, it was a strong episode.
This season seems to be taking a look at how far someone's willing to go when their loved ones are in danger. For the members of Team Arrow, that's pretty damn far.
I appreciate Arrow trying to give Diggle and Lyla a chance to shine, but it needs to be in a way that's never been done before. The episode would have been better off addressing storylines that got introduced previously.
It's nice to see Season 7 can hold its own without the Old Man Roy/Future William flashforward sequences in every episode. Amell's acting and choreography is at a series high.
