Arrow 3X22: This is Your Sword
🕑 Added 2024-09-04 23:47:14 +0000 UTCAnd this show continues to be insane. In the best possible way.
So, it turns out, Oliver really is faking his insane loyalty to the league. And he's in bed with Malcolm on this? I'm sorry. What? I know Malcolm has a deep knowledge of the league and Nanda Parbat, but this seems crazy. (Spoiler alert: it is).
Apparently, Oliver and Malcolm have a plan to dismantle the league from the inside. However, they thought they'd have months, but it turns out Ra's has turned up the timeline, and they've only got, like, 2 days. Knowing they can't figure it out alone, Oliver has Malcolm go get the rest of the team to come and help.
But, of course, once Malcolm gets there, no one believes him (and they absolutely shouldn't). He introduces them to Tatsu, but since none of them have ever met her, that doesn't really help. However, once they discover that the league is planning to destroy Starling City with the virus, Diggle and Laurel get on board; Felicity still refuses. Later, Tatsu comes and talks to her and tells her that Oliver told her the last thing he thought about before he fell off the mountain was Felicity. Tatsu tells her that if she really Oliver, she had to try to save him. Eventually, Felicity shows up to the plane.
Once they get to Nanda Parbat, Felicity immediately goes to work grounding the plane that is gonna bring the virus to Starling City. However, a member of the league destroys her tablet, so she can't finish the job. Thankfully, Ray is here and he comes to the rescue and blows up the plane. While this is happening, Team Arrow is fighting a ton of league member. Including Tatsu v. Maseo. Tatsu ends up besting him and he thanks for her finally setting him free.
At this point, Ra's and Oliver stop the fighting and take Team Arrow, plus Tatus captive. Oliver tells them to just trust him and not say anything. They end up in a jail cell. And he tells them to just stay there. He eventually calls on Dig and sort of tries to convince him that what he's (Oliver) doing is right, but they only get a minute before Dig is sent back to jail.
Then, Malcolm turns on Oliver and tells Ra's that Malcolm is lying about his loyalty. Oliver manages to convince Ra's that Malcolm is lying, and they stick Malcolm in the jail with the others. Shortly after that, they break the virus in the cell (after removing Tatsu since she's had the vaccine) and leave all of Team Arrow and Malcolm for dead. They plead with Oliver to not do this, remember who they are, who he is, that they trusted him; but he just seals them inside and goes and marries Nyssa. (Who totally tried to kill him during the ceremony).
Oh, and Thea goes to Roy, and then he leaves (with his suit) her because he thinks she deserves better than a life on the run.
WTF. If I thought the last episode was insane, this was even more so. I mean, somehow, they have to all be in on this, right? There must be some plan that I don't know about. I don't know what it is yet, but I feel confident that there is one. Also, next episode is the last of the season, so it's gonna be epic, right? Right?

Right? I mean, I guess he's pissed because Oliver has left them all out of the loop before. But they didn't tell Oliver they were faking Roy's death. This is just what they all do. 🤷♀️
