Arrow 7X14: Brothers and Sisters
🕑 Added 2025-04-11 20:00:11 +0000 UTCOkay, tell me I'm not the only one who was completely shocked to find out that Emiko is working with Dante and that she's been working to get his trust as much as he has hers. I want to say I didn't like this episode, because I usually don't when they are ARGUS heavy, but I enjoyed this. It helped that I'm really into what's happening in the flash forwards right now as well.
John comes and tells Oliver and Felicity about Diaz being in the Ghost Initiative. And Felicity is not happy. I mean, Oliver is not either, but he's at least assuming that John has a good reason. But, I'm with Felicity. Plus, I refuse to believe (even after I watched this episode) that Dante could possibly be more dangerous than Diaz. I don't think anyone could be.
But, either way, we decide to join up with ARGUS for this mission with Diaz. Beforehand, Felicity hacks into ARGUS's security and sets it up so she can blow up the bomb in his head if she wants to. And she tells Oliver she does. He tells her he doesn't agree, but he'll support whatever decision she makes. So, it seems like we've worked through that particular issue between them. Yay!
The first Ghost Initiative meeting doesn't go well. Someone tipped them off that we were coming and they had to kill, like, 30 bad guys between them. John and Lyla obviously think it was Diaz as he's the only one who talked to them, but he claims innocent. So, when we get to the next meet and see one of the ARGUS directors there, we realize they've got a man on the inside.
Once Diaz makes contact with Dante though, he immediately tells him it's a set up and Dante just starts killing people. He manages to get outside where he and Oliver fight. Eventually, Lyla gets out there and I think shoots at him, but he pulls out some daggers, tossing them at the two of them, jumps off the building and disappears. Fun.
Diaz is also busy trying to escape, but Felicity is not having that. She's got a gun on him, but he very casually tells her they both know she won't use it. She claims she would, but she doesn't have to. And John takes him down from behind. Back to Slabside he goes. However, once he's in that cell someone lights him on fire. And they don't tell me who. I need to know who to send the fruit basket to.
And Felicity tells Oliver she's pregnant.
In the flash forwards, William wants to work together with Mia to find out what the hell is going on, but she insists on working alone. But that doesn't last long.
I really need to figure out what the hell happened between now and then. Because William claims that after he went to go live with his grandparents, he never heard from either Oliver or Felicity again. And Mia claims she doesn't know Oliver at all and only grew up with Felicity. So what the hell happened here? Is Oliver dead?
Also, in this episode we see Oliver trying to get in touch with William but he never answers and his voicemail is full. I don't know. Do we think the grandparents orchestrated this? I have so many questions!
