Synopis:
Initially pretending to comfort Thea after her breakup, Slade uses the opportunity to kidnap her. Distracted by Thea's kidnapping, and having his team work to locate Slade, Oliver gives temporary CEO status to Isabel Rochev so that she can ensure that the company runs smoothly in his absence. Isabel uses her temporary power to convince the board of directors to make her position permanent, thus allowing her company to take full control of Queen Consolidated. When confronted, Isabel reveals that she has been working with Slade the entire time, and tells Oliver where Thea is being held. Oliver arrives, but Thea has already been freed—her kidnapping was a diversion from Slade's real plan to free a group of convicts to be used as test subjects for the next Mirakuru trials. Thea informs Oliver and Moira that Slade told her that her biological father is Malcolm Merlyn. Quentin Lance is arrested for aiding the vigilante, Roy leaves Starling City, and Slade visits Laurel and reveals that Oliver is the Arrow. In flashbacks, Sara attempts to use the trade for Oliver as a moment to kill Slade, but it backfires.
An interesting episode, not least for Roy's anger within the Arrow team.
Slade's strategy is curious - why go to the effort of kidnapping Thea, when he could simply have told her of her secret parentage while she was in the car? All he's achieved through the kidnapping is to put him on wanted posters.
Good to see all the lying blowing up in Oliver's face - will be interesting to see how that pans out.
Shado is - a figment of everyone's imagination, or does she exist as a ghost in some form? I mean the name...Shado?
Also - more foreshadowing that Sarah is going to die? This time from Lance, when he says that he couldn't bear to lose her again.
