The best part of this episode was the scene between Laural and Felicity. It's probably as close as we're gonna get to the Black Canary/Oracle friendship and it was beautifully done. Dinah and Barabra have such a beautiful friendship and even though Dinah had already been the Black Canary for a number of years before Barabra contacted her to join the Birds of Pray, it was Barabra who helped Dinah find her true purpose. It was very fitting to see Felicity help Laurel as she struggled with her idenity. I wish we could see more of the friendships that exists between all the heros of the DC universe instead of the CW romance drama.
As for the whinny Felicity...I've never been the biggest Felicity fan in the first place, but there's really nowhere her character can go except into this superioristic brat she's becoming. Felicity's characterization has grown stale and she really doesn't fit anymore into the shades of gray that Arrow deals with. Something big needs to happen to Felicity to drive her a) into Orcale, b) back into Death, c) send her to the Flash where her characterization or d) write her out. But whatever happens, I'm tired of all this Olicity drama and it's been stalling the pace of this season.
