Finally it seems like Arrow is really gearing up for the final episodes of the season. This episode was fantastic in my opinion.

The episode follows almost like a murder mystery style, where all of team arrow is interrogated. This was clearly a bottle episode to save money for the last episodes, but a VERY well done one. I just loved the overall style it had. It was very well shot, and had some great action.

Roy is finally back in the present, which is great. I've really loved Roy, and when I heard he would return this season I was so excited. Unfortunately he's been barely used throughout this season, only really in the flash forwards, but he's finally back in the present, and in a very exciting way.

The episode managed to stay interesting throughout the entire episode. Changing from the perspectives of every character. I had a guessed it would be Roy, but the way the episode was set up made me change my mind, before it was revealed. It was really great to see the different perspectives of the characters and not knowing who did it. Usually these types of episodes are filler, but this episode had many reveals and and turns, and didn't need to waste an episode.

I'm not going to lie, Dinah was a bit annoying this episode at first. She kept complaining about the team, almost like she didn't trust them, but it was a relief to see she was in on it all along.

Once we finally get to see what plays out it goes all out with Roy losing it. I seriously loved how brutal it was, and I'm just glad to have Roy back. He later explains that he died by an arrow (possible villain revival?) "Ironic." and was revived by one of the Lazarus pits that Roy, Thea and Nyssa were looking for. I honestly saw this storyline coming, and i'm really glad it's actually happening. It's an interesting direction to take the character, and i'm very excited to see what it all means

Finally we get the ending of the episode where Emiko reveals that could've saved the Queen's gambit, and we see some great writing from Oliver and Emiko, and one of Emiko's better scenes (acting wise). Finally it ends off with a bang, destroying the building, and leaving Oliver almost like Tommy in Season 1.

I honestly really loved this episode. I was very engaged, and it just felt like an episode from Season 2 (in the best way). It gives me hope this season will end off well, and that hopefully season 8 will be great too.

Overall this was just one of the better episode technically. The cinematography was better than usually. There were some good stunts, and fight scenes. I think there was some good dialogue, Roy is finally back, and it was just an exciting episode. We haven't had an episode like this since the 150th episode, so I'm really glad Arrow is picking up again.

Won't go into much details. But this episode was great. Been a long time, since Prometheus, anyone manipulated Team Arrow like that. Fav moment: Bye brother!

Its very rare these days that Arrow uses clever story telling techniques like they did in this episode. And I can't remember the last time Arrow had me so intrigued in an episode. The whole episode we get distorted versions of a story from team Arrow as they cover up for Roy (as we find out at the end). But meanwhile all the audience is wondering what the hell actually happened. I just love the way this episode was told, as each character recalls events from their perspective. Everything Roy did was great, from his parkour to him simply being reunited with the team. Loved the plot twist at the end too. More if this please Arrow!

We start in the middle of the action. There's been a crime. And a familiar face is the prime suspect and about to be interviewed by the Police.

Then it's three days earlier, according to a caption.

But don't scream. Instead of being that lazy cliché of starting with a bit of action you'll get to see in the episode anyhow, this actually is quite clever In it's execution, as the telling of the tale in various interrogations reveals multiple jumps all over the place, and leaves you wondering what the truth is.

The answer when it finally comes did wrong foot me. And it's pretty good drama. In that it will make you think about the moral choices certain characters make, and what you might do in the same situation.

This does end on a decent cliffhanger, which ups the stakes for the last two episodes nicely.

Nice seeing Roy in the present again, although a bit disappointing that Thea's not in it. She did only get written out because they didn't seem to know what to do with her, so a bit of closure would have been good.

This has been a good season, even though it does feel as if the show has run it's life at times, but still a decent watch.

The build-up was so perfect and brilliantly done, but they have to resolve it so badly. The two options they chose were both dumb: Emiko is the character that would have the more motive to kill these guards and Roy just appeared in this episode in the present time-line. Those two are just the most uninteresting guilty possibilities. Suche a pity.
