I totally knew it guys that the Laurel that appeared in the bunker was Earth 2 Laurel aka Black Siren cause she was totally on Earth 1 so it was super easy to bring her back. Although what I'm curious about is how did Prometheus know that Earth 2 Laurel was in the Pipeline in Central City? Is there a Arrowverse memo that goes out with updates or something? It's not common news so like how? Maybe he kept his ear to the ground and saw footage from Central City about the Flash fighting Black Siren and then saw she looked like our Laurel? Also how did she know that Sara was on the timeship? Plot armor I think. Whatever the reason it was fun to have her back and is it just me or does Katie Cassidy play a much much better villain than hero? I was glad that the show didn't drag out the mystery of whether she was Earth 1 Laurel or not. I did like how nonchalant Oliver and Felicity were about her return while Rene was like she just came back from the dead, how are you so cool and Oliver was all it's happened before, the Lance sisters come back. I really hope Earth 2 Laurel didn't call Quentin like she did Thea. That poor man doesn't deserve this.
It was heartbreaking how much Oliver wanted to help Earth 2 Laurel and it's so weird as a viewer cause we know Earth 1 and Earth 2 are not the same cause we watch the Flash (look at Earth 1 and 2 Caitlin or Cisco) but it's a whole different thing for the cast of Arrow who haven't dealt with this kind of stuff before. I wonder if we'll see Earth 2 Laurel become more like Earth 1 Laurel the way Oliver believes it or if she'll disappear for a while like before? Since the show is recruiting a new Black Canary, it seems like it'll be the latter. While we're talking about a new Black Canary, who was that woman we saw at the end with a Canary Cry? Is she a meta from Central City? The particle accelerator is the only thing on this Earth that would make powers appear....
I loved everything we got from Felicity tonight. The writing for her was much better. Last season she would have snapped at Oliver over and over about Billy every time they had a disagreement in order to get the last word in so I was super thankful when she only brought him up once or twice and it wasn't during a fight. I'm also enjoying this reversal of roles between Oliver and Felicity in that Felicity is now the bitter one and Oliver is trying to be more positive. I laughed when the team listened to Felicity over Oliver and then Rene said that mom and dad were fighting. Guys Stephen Amell does this thing whenever Oliver talks to Felicity where he softens his voice and no matter if he's pissed or frustrated, he keeps this soft voice around her and it makes me melt. He doesn't talk to anyone else like that. It was fun seeing that Felicity is still training a little cause we haven't seen that since like season 2 and it was fun to see her punch Earth 2 Laurel. I also liked how protective Oliver was around her when Earth 2 Laurel was attacking. Her conversation with Earth 2 Laurel was pretty great too.
Poor Curtis was also going through some stuff since Paul left and he opened up to Rene about how he felt useless out in the field and all it did was lead to him losing Paul. I feel like he's one step closer to inventing the T-spheres. Be like Ray Curtis! If you can't physically fight, invent things to fight!
Diggle was also in a mess this week. He was back in jail and the general who framed him was trying to get him transferred but basically murdered so he couldn't tell his story. Chase was super badass here when he used the law to circumvent the military and keep Diggle in Star City. I hope this whole thing gets wrapped up pretty quickly cause I'm really not interested in this framing Diggle storyline. I especially was not a fan of the general posturing around about having the District Attorney's number or being bffs with the President. Maybe the President should know that Diggle is Spartan and helped save the day from the Dominators and get a pardon! That'd solve everything.
Anyway loved this episode and I can't wait until next week!
