Sorry this is late, I fell asleep early last night and didn't get a chance to write this.
Oliver continues to spiral while Diggle and the gang do their best to keep going, Felicity continues to consort with the hackers, and Oliver makes a move that shocks Diggle....
It is hard to be against what Oliver was trying to do tonight. As I said last week, he was right that his initial reasons for going on his crusade were not right, but over time that changed and the crusade became a good thing. He moved from just killing those who had done wrong and started actually bringing them to justice, so his focus changed from vengeance to justice. And after what has happened to other people around him, I get why he wanted to push the team away to keep them as far from him as possible. What he didn't consider is that by pushing them away, he was actually making them less safe because that would make it easier for Prometheus to go after them because they would be separate from the group.
Bringing in the Bratva to kill Chase seemed a touch excessive to me. Again, I get his reasoning: he wanted to spare the team the agony of killing someone, particularly since he had seen the suffering Diggle had been undergoing after killing his brother. The problem is that Oliver had no way of controlling the Bratva and he had also allowed them to steal from the needy people in the city. That was totally not cool of Oliver. I am glad that he finally decided to try and stop them, even if it was a bit too late.
I must also say that I am not impressed that Gregori felt that he needed Oliver to remain a good person. I get that he had been using Oliver to do the heavy stuff while he led, but he really needs to learn to stand on his own. I don't know if we've seen the last of the Bratva or not, but it seems like we very well might have because they were not happy when Oliver decided to try and stop them.
I am glad that Diggle kept trying to get through to Oliver. Oliver definitely needed to have his tree shaken a bit and Diggle did a good job of that. I am also glad that the team figured out a way to how that Adrian Chase is Prometheus. What they couldn't have foreseen was his figuring out what happened and killing the marshals guarding him. This is not going to be pretty.
I am seriously worried that the hackers know who everyone is because they can now do some serious damage to the team. Hopefully Felicity and Curtis can figure out a way to mitigate any damage, but I am not hopeful on that score.
Be back on the 26th, so until then!
