Synopsis:
Oliver decides to teach Helena that there is justice outside of revenge after witnessing her try to kill the head of the Triad. Diggle expresses his disapproval, believing that Helena cannot be trusted. Oliver shows Helena that they can bring down her father's business by taking out key players and delivering them to the police. Helena starts to buy into the idea, but after an impromptu dinner with Oliver, Tommy, and Laurel leads to an awkward moment, Helena abandons Oliver's approach, believing he was manipulating her. Helena goes after the Triad, killing their leader. As a result, China White and her men go after Frank Bertinelli, believing him to be responsible, but Oliver gets there in time to stop them. Oliver also stops Helena from killing her father, but she refuses to forgive him for allowing the police to arrest Frank and threatens to reveal his identity if he tries to come after her in the future. Meanwhile, Tommy finally admits to Oliver that his father cut him off financially, and asks for a job working at the club that Oliver is attempting to build. Walter also learns more about the secret organization that Moira is a part of.
A better episode than the previous one - I don't recall Helena being named as Huntress, though?
Character's continue to be strong - Diggle is one of the strongest "sidekick" characters I can recall, and his presence seems to be getting stronger.
The IT girl is back! And Walter keeps digging, despite that he's putting himself in danger.
Interesting to see how the central plot about "changing people" for the better applied both to Helena and Tommy - the latter of which would be a perfect choice for maintain Oliver's nightclub deception.
Overall, still very much on track, plenty of mystery, and a great story arc so far. If there are any complaints is that the villains come across as somewhat two-dimensional in a series that otherwise boasts so much character development.
