Arrow 4X3: Restoration

So, in this episode, we've got our OG Team Arrow on one mission, and Laurel and Thea on another.

Thea and Laurel head to Nanda Parbat to bring Sara back to life, as well as get Malcolm to help Thea control her blood lust. Neither works out super great. Initially, Malcolm refuses to help them with Sara. He said it's never been done with a dead body and he's only heard about it through lore. He also tells Thea that some sage can help her, but the best thing to do is just kill someone every few weeks and that will curtain her cravings for a bit. She's horrified by this. But, then Malcolm sends assassins after her that she kills (because they are trying to kill her) and he tells her that's the only way. There is no sage. But, to make it up to her, he'll bring Sara back in the Lazarus pit.

However, Nyssa is pissed as hell about this. She begged them not to do it, but they didn't listen, and afterwards, she destroyed the pit. Does this mean Malcolm can't heal himself anymore? Is this the end of Ra's ah Ghul as we know it? Are things going to be different going forward because of this? (Don't answer any of these).

When Sara comes back she's, as foretold, so not herself. She's basically a wild animal. They end up needing to chain her up because she has zero human tendencies.

Meanwhile, Felicity forces Oliver and Diggle to deal with their issues and locks them in the Arrow Cave until they figure it out. Both of them went out without the other as backup earlier, and both ended up in bad shape. But, thanks to Felicity's meddling, they end up taking down the bad guy (you know, that tattoo card meta-human guy), with Oliver taking a bullet (playing card) for Dig.

Later, the three OGs of Team Arrow go out for drinks together. I love that Oliver and Dig have patched things up. It wasn't fun when the two of them couldn't trust each other.

Also, I'm quite enjoying Felicity's friendship with Curtis (I 100% looked up his name).
