Arrow 6X3: Next of Kin

Okay, so we're all concerned about John being in charge here. His first night in the field as the Green Arrow, he was unable to make a decision and the bad guy and the illicit nerve agent got away.

Dinah is mostly concerned because she knows he's not at 100% and he didn't tell Oliver this when he agreed to put on the hood. But, John apologizes and assures the team, none of this will happen again. However, that doesn't stop Rene from going to ask Oliver to come back, as he's afraid of what will happen with John in charge. Oliver assures him that John is fine and no one needs to be worried about a thing.

The next night, things go much better with John able to both make decisions and help take out the bad guys. Both Dinah and Rene feel much better with him at the helm after that. Especially after he tells Dinah that his tremors are gone and she doesn't need to worry about them anymore. (You just knew that wasn't going to be true, it was just too easy).

While all of this is going on, the city is back to be all anti-vigilante. On the day the bill is going to be passed, Oliver shows up, as the mayor, and insists that it be put to a town referendum, where the city gets to decide on this. This buys them at least a little bit of time while they wait for the vote.

Felicity is busy tutoring William in math. And, as they both seem to taking a liking to each other, Oliver feels comfortable with the two of them being around each other and offers Felicity a key to his apartment. THEN THEY KISS. (You know this has to be the thumbnail.). Also, I was so worried when Oliver showed up that Felicity had a guy in the loft. She was just too casually dressed and awkward when he showed up. I'm still a bit afraid that we might find out in a flashback she did.

But, to make sure we don't get too much goodness at the end of the episode, after Olicity, we get a scene of John buying some kind of illegal (one can only assume) drugs to inject into this hands to stop the tremors. You knew they weren't just going to be gone.

Oh, and this FBI lady is so sure that Oliver is the Green Arrow. She's got a whole murder association wall going on in that office. This is not going to bode well for us this season. Fuck.
