Correction 2: Season 6 Episode 9 entitled "Irreconcilable Differences"

When Oliver and Diggle arrived back at the Arrow Cave, they saw that Felicity was waiting for them, a concerned expression written on her face, causing the two men to frown.

"What's up Felicity?", Oliver asked her, concerned as to what was going on. Felicity bit her lip nervously, working up the nerve to explain her thoughts to him.

"Well Oliver, I've been noticing that something might be up in regards to Rene and Dinah. I don't know what's up with Rene other than him appearing to act not like himself while seeming to do things that just don't add up. Plus he seemed to be walking around here in our base but not in a usual way. Instead it was almost as though he was paying extra attention to things here while behaving almost nervously. I could be wrong but it's just a gut feeling of mine.

"As for Dinah, she's also started to act a bit off and also seeming to be a bit shady. I was suspicious about it but brushed it off. Tonight however when I went over to my favorite Gelato Ice Cream parlor to order some ice cream to eat with my saved slice of wedding cake before going to bed, I happened to notice her nearby and standing with her ex-boyfriend Vince, who as we know, is our out of control enemy Vigilante. And based upon their body language, it looks like they might've gotten back together.

"I'm worried though that something like this might compromise our team and so I used my phone to take a picture of them in order to show it to you guys". And on that note, Felicity took out her phone and showed the image to both Oliver and Diggle, to which they responded with concerned expressions.

"You're right Felicity" Oliver agreed with her. "I personally hadn't noticed anything but after what you've just told and showed me, something doesn't add up and we could have a problem". What do you have in mind as to how we should proceed?"

Felicity had already thought of something but wanted to run it by him first and that's why she waited.

"What I was thinking is that we should put them, and Curtis as well but only as a precaution, on surveillance but only temporarily", she explained. "At first I was going to go ahead and do it myself but we're supposed to work as a team and there is a chain of command that all of us need to follow. And so as leader of this team, I'd like to enquire if you think putting the rest of the team under surveillance is a good idea."

Oliver thought it over while Diggle offered his own imput.

"You know it could just be a good idea, but only temporarily as Felicity said until we know more. And you know we can't afford to have our team compromised once more", the other man said to him, arms folded. Oliver knew that Diggle was right and so addressed Felicity.

"Both you and Diggle are right and I appreciate you coming to me first and asking about this. Very well, you may place the rest of our team under surveillance as a precaution and then we'll proceed from there", he said to her, knowing that they needed to get on top of this as soon as possible. Felicity went on to do just that and they'd later discover that Dinah had been spending a lot of time with Vince while Rene had been, to their shock, working with the F.B.I. against them for quite a long while.

When they confronted them, Rene, Dinah, and Curtis were all angry with them and accused them of violating their privacy, though Rene also explained that he'd been blackmailed by Agent Watson into handing the team to her on a silver platter.

Needless to say, everyone was upset with Rene but understood that he was in an impossible position while sympathizing with him. As for Dinah, she admitted that she was back with Vince but did her best to reassure everyone else that she had not shared with him anything whatsoever, sensitive or otherwise, about their team operations. Oliver accepted that but firmly told her that he'd be keeping an eye on her just in case, and she accepted that.

As for Rene, Oliver made some calls to Lyla and the president and with their help, managed to get Watson to back off.

Rene was grateful for the help but he, Dinah, and Curtis were still angry about the surveillance and took some time away from the rest of the team, causing the friendships to be strained. They all reconciled eventually and continued their work of protecting the city, and even possibly saved Vince's life when he was in severe trouble, instead of something like getting into a civil war against each other.

A/N The reason I corrected that episode a bit was because while the surveillance was necessary since Rene and Dinah were compromised and Felicity's intentions were pure, she still violated the chain of command because she initiated the surveillance on her own accord and authority instead of consulting with Oliver and asking for his permission.

Therefore I wanted to fix that by having her ask him for permission first instead of doing it on her own and then telling Oliver and Diggle after the fact. That was wrong and as Oliver rightfully told Rene, there's a chain of command they need to follow.

As for the civil war aspect, and while it wasn't my original intent to include it until much later, not everyone was happy about that arc, particularly in regards to the Outsiders actions, and so if Vince is not dead then none of that happens.

The next correction involves Thea and Malcolm.
