As seen
last time, the Arrowcave, or the bunker as they call it on the show, has been bombed by Prometheus, and Oliver and Felicity are trapped inside. An EMP was in play, so not only does none of the high-tech gadgetry work, neither does the spinal implant that allows Felicity to walk.
As Olicity is resurrected inside the bunker, Team Arrow gathers to try to rescue them. We find out some interesting things about our team, like Curtis named his T-Spheres after the ferrets in
Beastmaster - Kodo and Podo. We also learn that Marc Singer's Beastmaster had a profound effect on the sexual awakenings of both Curtis and Dinah. I don't know if this is geeky fun or TMI, but I dug it.
Besides serving as a characterization exploration episode for the team, we also get a previously unseen flashback to sometime early in the third season fighting the
Werner Zytle version of
Count Vertigo when Curtis first joined the team. There are lots of details filled in, and questions answered here, as well as characters and relationships fleshed out.
This was like a team re-building exercise really. Trust is rebuilt and reaffirmed on several levels. One thing that is abundantly clear from the episode is that the rest of Team Arrow need
Cisco's phone number, especially if they're going to let him design their headquarters. And as far as Olicity goes, might we see them together proper soon? We certainly had the hottest scenes in quite some time between the two.
The killer stinger has Chase meeting Oliver's William at the school bus. Something tells me the worst is yet to come...
Next: "Honor Thy Fathers!"
