Spoiler Alert!
Hello everyone!
Sorry I took a little more time with this rant than I should.
The truth is I wasn't able watch the episode live yesterday (sadly) so I had to watch it today, which was hard to find some time to actually watch it. But I did, and I'm actually pretty sad I didn't live tweet because this episode was really good! As always, there were parts that I really enjoyed and others that were questionable but I'll get into all of that. The overall review is that this was really good - good storyline, good fight scenes, good one-liners and really good flashbacks, which was something that we didn't have for a few episodes and we had it again, which is always nice.
The episode started right were the previous one left of (or, at least, it looked like it) with Oliver transfering the money to Cayden James' account. We see Oliver really afraid with everything - one of those things being the fact that the city is almost out of money to pay Cayden. Because of that, the Team realises that they really need to find were the bomb that Cayden James has is located so, that way, Cayden won't have any leverage on them.
Afraid that Cayden James will detonate the bomb sooner, Vince reaches out to both Team and everyone starts thinking of a way to find the bomb. Felicity comes up with a really elaborate plan (I mean, it wasn't that elaborate but it's really hard to explain so don't expect me to do that) and so, Vince agrees to enter James' server room to download datas that could lead the teams to find where the bomb is. That was actually one of my favourite scenes - two scenes actually - when Cayden doesn't know the code to enter the server room and Felicity tells him one that she thinks is the one to which Vince asks 'You think?' and after that Felicity says she's never wrong. I really liked that. And the other scene that I really liked was one that followed that one, when Felicity basically saves Vince and tells him exactly what to say to Cayden - like a lot of tech stuff and really elaborate things that only Felicity understands - which was pretty funny.
Vince is able to transmit the date to Felicity (and the Teams) but soon after that he's identified as the traitor and so Anatoly tortures him, and we know that Anatoly's torture is like really bad...
After that, they are able to find the location of the bomb but, at the same time, they find out that Vince is being tortured so Dinah, Rene and Curtis decide to go save vince while Oliver and Diggle went after the bomb.
Of course thing couldn't just go well (besides, it's only episode 12, there's still 10 more episode ahead so it couldn't all be over now) and turns out Cayden James predicted all of this and basically manipulated both Teams. The Vince rescue was just bait to get to them and to leave them vulnerable because, at the same time, the place were the bomb was was too big and Oliver and Diggle couldn't deal with all by themselves.
In the end, Black Siren kills Vince, while Dinah watches and Oliver and Diggle are unable to get the bomb before it is moved to another location.
However, and that's like the 'plot twist' of the episode, with the date that Felicity got (and with the help of Alena, I should mention) they retrieve the proof that, Cayden claims, shows Oliver killing his son (which, unfortunately, isn't Billy, which would be such a plot twist, I might say). That video is, in fact, fake and that's when they realise it was falsified using the same technology that was used to falsify the image of Oliver being the Green Arrow, which means it wasn't Cayden James who falsified the photo and that might be someone else manipulating Cayden, without him knowing, in order to take down Oliver.
This whole thing is really unexpected so I'm interested in where this is going. It looks like the Season is taking a turn for the better so let's see, I'm curious about this new 'plot twist'.
Let me know all your thoughts on the episode and which are you theories for this 'new' person and for this whole thing, I would really like to know.
I'll see you guys next week with new rants!
Love,
Daniela.
