They need something to take their minds off of the recent chaos a good old-fashioned robbery should do the trick, right? Soon, the team is reunited with Malcolm, Diggle, and Oliver, who opted to walk out on Ra's al Ghul instead of taking him up on his incredibly enticing offer. Before Thea can press the issue, the rest of Team Arrow attacks the skilled assassin and barely manages to take her down.
Nyssa refuses, saying the blood debt will end with Malcolm's demise. Meanwhile, Thea is practically begging Nyssa to kill her as payback for Sara's death. It's something that can certainly be done more often to really drive home these character moments.) (This show's normally so fast-paced that I'm loving this relative slow-down. It's a great sequence to start the show, so let's hope that the decision to pursue either the honorable path or the powerful one is one that occupies Ollie's thoughts (and Arrow's plot) for at least a little bit longer.
Tonight's episode takes the opportunity to slow down and engage in a philosophical debate between Ra's al Ghul and Oliver Queen. More importantly for fans, we get our first look at the famed Lazarus Pit! It seems that the magical waters are losing their effect on Ra's al Ghul, who sees that Oliver's will was strong enough to defy death, so surely he'll benefit most from the healing waters.
He also walks him through what his life will be like if he continues down the vigilante path, to eventually lose his friends, be betrayed by those who manage to survive, and to end up dying alone. Ra's soon shows Oliver what it means to be part of the League, and the responsibility and power that come with leading it. If you forgot that Ra's al Ghul offered Oliver Queen his very title as the Demon's Head on the last episode, tonight's hour quickly reminds you of this hour's promised offer.
