Synopsis:
William Tockman orchestrates a precisely timed heist of Kord Industries and steals an electronic device that will allow him to access any bank vault in the world. His work comes to the attention of Oliver and Sara, who work together to try and stop him, foiling one of his robberies. In response, Tockman uses the device to hack into the computer servers at Oliver's hideout and overload them so they explode. Felicity, feeling left out with Sara now part of the team, attempts to bait Tockman into coming after one last heist. Oliver, Sara and Diggle arrive in time to protect Felicity, but Felicity takes a bullet while saving Sara before stopping Tockman. Meanwhile, the Lances attempt to have dinner together and it is revealed that Sara and Oliver are in a relationship, much to the anger of Laurel. Later, Laurel reveals the reason for her anger to Sara and they make amends; afterwards, Laurel attends an A.A. meeting with Quentin. Slade makes his presence known to Oliver by coming to his home and meeting with Moira. In flashbacks, it is revealed that Sara befriended Sin after promising Sin's dying father, a pilot shot down while flying over the island, that she would make sure Sin was safe.
Good to see an episode focused on Felicity.
The Clock Man was an interesting villain, not least for his skills in hacking Arrow's systems, but also for his aversion to his henchmen killing, and also that he looked to gain for his wife. Not himself.
At the end - Slade and Oliver meet! Perhaps Moira doesn't need to learn Oliver's secret identity for the confrontation over lying to blow up in his face - perhaps any friendship she develops with Slade will do that enough.
Looks like Laurel's coming back, too, but also feels like the writers are setting us up for Sarah to go again - this time, permanently.
