Spoiler Alert!
Hello people!
As usual, quite late with this rant. This was the only time I was able to watch the episode so you're gonna have to roll with it.
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with this episode! It was just a simple one but with some many things happening and, most of all, full of emotions! Some things were kind of predictable but the last part of the episode left me surprised, which is always something that I'm looking forward in the series that I watch, mostly in the last episodes of the season.
This episode was basically just Oliver's trial. It actually begins with a scene in Kasnia with Diggle recueing someone and, at first, I thought it was part of some ARGUS job but, as soon as I saw that he was basically alone, I realized that this was part of a plan to 'save' Oliver. We've known for weeks that Tommy was going to be in this episode and, at first, my theory was that Siren X was going to show up or something with Tommy from Earth X and he would be the one to pretend to be the Green Arrow but, as soon as I saw Diggle save that man, I realized that this was going to be a job for Human Target aka Christopher Chance.
In the actual trial, a lot of people are called to testify, including John, Dinah, Dr. Schwartz, Felicity and even Rene. Basically all of the screw up a bit, mostly Dinah with something that happened before she was even in Star City and Rene, who had to actually say that Oliver was the Green Arrow because Diaz showed up in the trial with his daughter.
Then, that's when 'Tommy' shows up and he testifies saying that he has been the Green Arrow all along. He faked his death and in the past Roy actually pretended to be the Green Arrow to save him so, this time, he won't let that happen again so he decided to tell the truth and let everyone 'know' that he's the Green Arrow.
Obviously, after that, he's taken into custody but, obviously, Diggle had everything planned out so he was able to take him somewhere else and that's when we actually learn that he's Human Target and not actually Tommy.
But it doesn't end there. After that, Laurel is basically 'forced' by Diaz to testify as well, against Oliver, obviously but she changes her mind. She does testify but she says that Tommy is the real Green Arrow which, obviously, leaves Diaz really mad!
With all this mixed up testimonials everything is still up in the air. When the jury does come to a conclusion they say Oliver is guilty, proving the assumption that both the judge and the jury were in Diaz's pocket. After that, Oliver's lawyer challenges the verdict due to the evidence and that's when the episode caught me off guard.
The judge surprisingly agrees and, just like that, Oliver is free to go. When arriving in the lair, Oliver (and us) find out that Chance switched places with the judge during jury deliberation. Oliver thanks Diggle to which the later says that it was actually Rene's plan. Oliver goes to Rene's place to say thank you and, just like that, they are fine with each other and we are one step closer to get the whole team together again (although, this might prove my theory... Rene is trying to make everything right because, in the end, he's probably going to leave or something).
Well, in the very end we see Diaz kill the judge and then, Laurel appears, attackes Diaz and his men, momentarily overpowering Diaz but not for long. He ends up taking her captive and then tells her that he needs to move to plan B - kill Oliver and everyone he knows.
We already knew this was going to happen since the producers have been saying that in episode 22 Diaz was going to target Oliver's loved ones so... Let's see how everything plays out.
Overall, I was really happy with this episode. Like I said, not much but, at the same time, a lot. Loved all the powerful moments between Oliver, Felicity and William!
Anyway, let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you in my next post!
Love,
Daniela.
