Synopsis:
Oliver tracks down an accountant, Backman, for the secret organization and steals his laptop in order to redistribute all of his money back to the people he stole from. While decrypting the laptop, Felicity uncovers a link to Walter—a $2 million transfer was made to Dominic Alonzo, an underground casino owner who was hired to kidnap Walter. With Felicity posing as a card sharp, the pair infiltrate the casino; after being beaten and threatened, Alonzo claims that Walter was killed. Oliver informs his family and Moira immediately confronts Malcolm, who shows her that Walter is still alive. Oliver, who was listening in, discovers that Tommy's father is heading the secret organization, and uses Felicity to hack into his phone records to ascertain Walter's location. As the vigilante, Oliver frees Walter and reunites him with the family. Meanwhile, Laurel goes to Tommy to get the truth about why he left, and Tommy reveals that he believes she is meant to be with Oliver, who still loves her. In a flashback, Robert Queen is shown disagreeing with Malcolm's proposed "Undertaking", which would involve leveling the Glades and kill thousands of people in an effort to rebuild the area and remove the crime. As a result, Malcolm has a bomb planted on the Queens' yacht just before Robert and Oliver set off.
Good to see Walter found - but dramatic to how Moira was played by Merlyn.
Also, a lot of interesting flashbacks showing us Robert, and why - and what - the undertaking is. Only niggle is that normally flashbacks are provided from the perspective of a character we're following - however, this time they were more objective. Not a complaint, merely an observation.
And, overall, exciting stuff as the stakes continue to be raised towards this endgame!
