Now usually Stephen amell is the lead of the show but at the moment it is dealing with his recovery and to be honest not allot is happening with his character. I think this was a true laurel episode and I know some people still think it is too early but I love the way her character is being portrayed. She sucks as a hero but she is a symbol while Oliver is gone and eventually she will become the true black canary that we all want to see.
Maseo was great in this episode as in the flashbacks we finally see his character progress as he proves that he will do anything for his family and I love the parallels it had with merlyn. Merlyn and thea have had an interesting story arc so far but it has been put on the back burner but I believe that it will progress more and I really like the chemistry that John barrowman and willa Holland have. A real surprise is just how good Vinnie Jones has been as the mobster brick he is awesome and has really thrived in this role. I think that felicity was the real heart of the episode and it allows the rest of the characters to become the heroes they are meant to be. I think that captain lance hasn't had allot to do so far this season but it is clear that he is going to be a damaged character and I can't wait till he finds out about Sara. My only complaints about the characters is that kitana is being featured allot and I don't think we have seen enough of the character to care about her enough yet.
I loved the story as it showed the mob warfare in startling and that brick is a true villain to be feared, I also loved how laurel is a struggling hero that will need to learn as she goes along this season. I also loved that Oliver has not returned yet because I hope it builds up his recovery as a big deal when he returns, in next week promos it seems like he will be returning and if done right could work but I kind of wish they had dragged out that story longer. It was also revealed at the end of the episode that theas DJ is working for maseo and the league of assassins which could be interesting if his relationship grows with thea over the coming episodes. I still think there is a bit of work to go to make the flashback scenes as interesting as present day.
There was some funny moments in the episode and the drama with maseo, laurel and captain lance really hit me and what I love about this show is that it is about the characters and I really care about the majority of the characters on the show.
With Oliver being out of action I like how Roy and laurel are getting more of the stunts and the action with brick really works for me.
Overall this is one of my favourite episodes of season 3 and I hope it can keep up the quality of the storytelling.
