Arrow 6X1: Fallout

Okay, so five months have passed. I truthfully have no idea what exactly is going on with Laurel 2 and this dude she's hanging out with. Do they have a plan? I mean, he tried to send a rocket towards (I guess) Star City, but Curtis redirected it with his T Spheres. I guess, like a lot of bad guys, they just wanna destroy stuff and cause mayhem. 🤷‍♀️

So, we've got some problems. We find out that Samantha died on the island, but made Oliver promise to watch after William. He agrees, but William thinks that he's the 'bad man' that caused all this to happen so it's been hard building a relationship with him. It seems like they might have a bit of a breakthrough at the end of the episode, but people in Oliver's position really shouldn't be making promises that they have no idea if they can keep.

Also, Thea is in some sort of coma. I can only assume she's been this way since they got back. I had money on her dying since she wasn't in a lot of last season, but I guess I'm wrong.

John, also got hurt when the C4 went off on the island and that (in conjunction with something else I suppose) is really messing with him. He's hesitating and making mistakes, and it ended up causing Rene to get hurt. He's going to be fine, but John is 100% not himself right now.

Dinah and Lance get attacked by Laurel 2 and Quintin is forced to shoot her in order to save Dinah. However, they decide to lie and say they found her dead. Later, Quintin admits the truth that he killed her. He's really struggling with it seeing as she looks exactly like Laurel. But, she's alive (even though he shot her and left her for dead). She's running around attacking the police department and than the Arrow cave. So far, we don't seem to know what she's after.

However, the episode ends with the news running footage of the Green Arrow without his mask, clearly showing that it's Oliver. Maybe their plan all along was to unmask him causing chaos and making it easier to do whatever their plan is? I mean, we've been here before, where Oliver was found out, but we were able to come up with a plan. Even if we can come up with one now, do we think anyone would believe it? Twice they find out it's Oliver and twice Oliver can convince them it's not. I don't know. Seems unlikely. But how do we go another 3 seasons with him being exposed? Maybe we get Barry to reverse time? But it seems like that's causes major problems every time he's tried it.

Ahhh! I don't know what we're going to do from here!
