Arrow 3X9: The Climb
Added 2024-08-06 01:18:44 +0000 UTCOh, this episode was so much fun! And I refuse to feel bad about constantly saying this about this show.
So, STAR labs got back to Felicity about the boomerang DNA and the most likely culprit is Oliver. We know that can't be right. Eventually the team (minus Oliver) comes up with the hypothesis that it's Thea. Oliver is adamant that Thea did not kill Sara. Turns out, Oliver is wrong.
Apparently, Malcolm used some drugs on Thea that make her susceptible to mind control, but also make you forget afterwards. During this discovery, Oliver realizes Thea has been lying to him about Malcolm for quite some time. I'm not sure how this is going to effect them going forward.
Meanwhile, the League of Assassins has given Oliver 48 hours to produce Sara's killer. Once he realizes it was Thea, he can't turn her over, so he claims it was him. This means he has to duel with the head of the assassins.
It doesn't go well, and Oliver ends up getting stabbed in the gut, and kicked over the side of the cliff. I mean, I know he can't be dead (and I speculate a lot about how he will survive), but it's not looking good for Oliver.
Both Thea and Laurel's mom find out that Sara is dead. (Thea was shocked. She had no idea she was the killer. I'm 100% sure of it). But this is a secret we're still keeping form Quintin.
And Felicity learned about Ray's backstory ( a little bit- and learned about his weaponry plans, sort of). But also OLIVER TOLD HER HE LOVED HER. And I believed it this time. BRB. Going to die now.
This was the hardest thumbnail to choose. This, or Oliver telling Felicity he loved her. I'm still not sure I made the correct decision.
