Although Arrow did its best Law & Order impression last night, that didn’t mean it wasn’t a nail-biter of the highest order. In fact, it had many twists and turns to be enjoyed, in addition to Ricardo Diaz learning that he can’t win in every situation.
Long story short, we had two MVPs yesterday evening, with the obvious one being Christopher Chance AKA the Human Target, who posed as both Tommy Merlyn and the judge who overrode the jury’s decision, and acquitted Oliver Queen. The other, of course, was that of Black Siren, whose testimony went against Diaz’s wishes, thus making an incredible stride in her path toward redemption.
So, now that the Dragon’s Plan A has failed, he’s going with his backup – and that means all-out war on Team Arrow and those they hold most dear. In fact, the trailer at the top gives us an inkling as to how much poo will hit the fan come next week.
Already, we’ve seen the big bad use Wild Dog’s daughter as leverage, so there’s probably no length this guy won’t go to. And with him having infiltrated every level of Star City’s infrastructure, one has to wonder how the Emerald Archer and the rest of our heroes will get out of this one.
