Alas, like that movie, the conflict between the supposed heroes of this story is rather weak.
Nevertheless,Arrowbenefits from having made us care about both sides of the conflict.
Oliver still hasnt been able to recover the money and the city is on the verge of collapse.

Obviously that doesnt end up happening.
I just wish it werent over something so cliche.
Speaking of Laurel: Shes busy recovering in a cabin under Quentins watchful eye.
Whats interesting about Katie Cassidys performance is that its hard to tell just how sincere shes being.
Is all of this manipulation, or does part of her actually want to get close to Quentin?
The ensuing confrontation is tense because both sides rehash their grievances.
However, Team Arrow isnt the only one with tricks.
Rene provokes a tiny tussle with Oliver to plant a bug on him.
Laurel wakes up during Quentin and Theas conversation and asks to talk to Oliver.
She tells Oliver shell return the money if he helps her get out of the country, i.e.
far, far, far away from the vengeful Black Canary.
The B-Team overhears all of this, which sets Dinah off because this isnt justice!
(Nor is responding to murder with another murder, but whatever.)
They try tailing Team Arrow to the meet, but Felicity discovers Renes bug and gets rid of it.
Oliver tells Laurel he never wants to see her or hear her name again, which is cold.
Thankfully, Curtis arrives in time and is finally able to talk her out of murder.
Curtis and Dinahs heart-to-heart allows Laurel to flee.
Unfortunately, this reopens Renes wound from earlier in the season, and hes rushed to the hospital.
It kind of was.
In the words of Tom Haverford, theyre donezo.
Its not like the B-Team was holding back.
In fact, Dinah literally told them not to if they didnt want Laurel to escape.
The episode ends with two major developments.
The last two scenes of this episode made me feel that way.
Hopefully, that faith will be rewarded.
