- Quotes
Thea Queen: Oh, my gosh, you'd be in so much trouble if your Dad saw you doing that. You're lucky you have a cool aunt, you know, who approves of bad behavior.
William Clayton: I'm gonna miss you.
Thea Queen: And I'm gonna miss you, too. Just promise me you're gonna watch over your Dad, ok?
William Clayton: But he's the Green Arrow.
Thea Queen: You know, before he was the Green Arrow, he actually used to be really scared of the dark, and he needed a nightlight in his bedroom till he was, like, what, six - 16?
Oliver Queen: It was not a nightli - I was... It was not a nightlight. I couldn't sleep with it being pitch black.

Besides the fact that Curtis gained a new love interest and Dinah crept closer into the corruption of the police force, this was a throwback episode into the great season 2 & 3 episodes with the League of Assassins at the forefront. Katrina Law as Nyssa Al Ghul returned as she brought some difficult news for Thea, with her once again being thrust into an unnecessary conflict started by Malcom Merlyn. It's far from an original arc, but perhaps a nice one to end on as it looks like she will correct her father's sins, just as Oliver and Nyssa are both trying to do as well.
It comes as no surprise that Malcom found 3 other lazarus pits, something he almost certainly used in some way shape or form to stay alive (I have no doubt he's out there somewhere). But that's what Nyssa, Roy, and Thea will set out to solve, and ultimately destroy. Whether or not you think this was a good way to send Thea off of the show, it was probably the best way showrunners could have gone without deviating from the season 6 arc too much. Although, there really hasn't been much of an arc at all anyway.
That arc, is going to take an unsurprisingly stupid turn next week, as Diggle and Oliver will butt heads over who deserves to wear the hood. Are you serious? Is this honestly the route you're taking showrunners? This is never something we would see out of Dig in the early days of this show.
