This episode had to follow League of Assassins and it rose to the occasion with its high ratings. It focused on two characters of Diggle and Isabel Rochev, especially Diggle since he was kind of relegated to the background.
We're introduced to Amanda Waller, head of ARGUS and they know Oliver's secret identity and their partnership. This version of Amanda Waller is more like the New 52 version than the chubbier one. She served her purpose for this episode's storyline in having Diggle rescue Lyla in Russia and going after Deadshot.
How awesome was it to see Oliver and Roy team-up that would foreshadow their future partnership.
We're learning more about Isabel as she opens up a little bit beyond the cold business woman we've been seeing since she debuted. It also created a love triangle between Oliver, Felicity, and Isabel that could become frequent throughout the season.
We also have Jean Loring, also from the comics and wife of Atom Ray Palmer, who tells Thea to break up from Roy as it's hurting her mother's case and I'm glad the breakup was stopped by Moira as she meets Roy for the first time.
With Sarah leaving Starling City, we see her in the flashbacks and what she's doing on the ship with Ivo. It's good to see both Shado and Slade again and we may have an idea how Slade may become Deathstroke.
Lots of DCU easter eggs including HIVE and Miraclo in relation to Hourman Rex Tyler.
Overall a great episode.
