My brain sort of short circuits at the end of this episode. I don't really know how to process what just happened.

So basically, Roy is arrested in Oliver's place. No one, except Roy, is happy about this. Oliver is desperate to break him out of jail. (But Dig and Felicity won't let him). And Quintin knows Oliver is actually the Arrow and is obsessed with finding some evidence to prove that.

However, this was all a ruse set up without Oliver's consent. They arrange to have a member of ARGUS 'kill' Roy in prison. And since Roy signed a confession, Oliver is scot-free. However, Roy is actually alive, but has to leave town now since everyone knows he's dead. I did not fall for him being dead. However, I'm not actually sure if he's leaving for good or not. You guys know I love Roy. I will be so upset if this turns out to be true.

Meanwhile, we're dealing with a meta-human (well maybe not, but they believe this for most of the episode) and Oliver can't be seen doing Arrow-like shit. So, we let Ray be the ATOM. It does not go well and he nearly dies. The next time, we use a neural link so Oliver can actually fight him in Ray's suit. It's actually pretty entertaining.

Okay, I'm sorry, but WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING WITH THEA? Did I imagine the fact that she and Ra's fought and he threw her to a table and stabbed her with a sword? That did actually happen, right? WTF. You cannot take both Roy and Thea from me in the same episode. I hate everything about this.

I mean, I sort of assume Thea is gonna be fine. But I'm not 100% on that. And I'm like 50/50 on if Roy is really gone or not. Why does this show do this to me?
