Arrowisveryfar from the shallows now, if that wasnt clear already.
Present Tense dives headfirst into exploring Team Arrow meeting Future Team Arrow for the first time.
In fact, thats what the entire episode is about.

There arent any flash-forwards or B-plots.
The hour is 100 percent focused on this strange, surprising, and heavy family reunion.
Spoiler alert: Its a lot for everyone to handle.
In other words, no one can believe this is happening.
From there, Oliver brings Mia and William back to his and Felicitys old apartment.
Olivers sorrow increases when Mia decides to just go to bed instead of staying up to chat.
(For more insight into this moment,check out our postmortem with Ben Lewis.)
Luckily, Present Team Arrow shows up and frees them from the bombs.
Mia also wants to take advantage of her time in 2019 to change the future.
More specifically, she wants to kill Grant.
Being a rebellious young person, though, Mia ignores her father.
No, hes totally fine with her following in his footsteps (at least in this episode).
Instead, hes more concerned with her doing something impulsive that she might regret.
But when she pushes back, Oliver steps back.
William points out that Mia grew up without a father and actually wants him to push even harder.
And Oliver will get that opportunity pretty soon.
In the end, Mia is thankful that he stopped her.
And this is when the drama-loving Monitor returns to shake things up.
The Monitor visits Laurel and offers to resurrect her universe if she betrays Oliver Queen.
