That's when everyone realized that Slade was on the island with Oliver.

The screen flickers off one Slades pissed off face.
Well, do you think Oliver saw that? Laurel asks. If he did then he's probably on his way back to Lian Yu, Felicity says.
Thea didn't know what to say but she knew that her and her brother was due for a talk.
Quintin finally comes to the conclusion that While Oliver did do some questionable things at first, he changed so he won't arrest him.
Sara is thinking that she needs to go back to Starling to help with the backlash but she decides to stay.
Samantha didn't know what to say so she just sat down staring at a wall thinking.
Goodluck, Kapushon, Anatoly mutters while drinking a beer.
