So I was reading one of these things on , and I found an interesting way to do these things that don't violate copyright rules and all that. So, I'm gonna try to do something similar and see how it goes. Let me know what you guys think in the comments.

After the bathroom break, everyone sat around the tv and got comfortable again. Once everyone was situated, holding their drinks and snacks, cuddled up with their blankets, they started the rest of the episode.

Thea comes downstairs, teary-eyed. She and Oliver have a heartwarming reunion.

Jupiter smiled lightly at this. She had never been close with her own sister, but this scene really made her heart melt. It was hard to imagine what her Aunt Thea may have been feeling in that moment, what her father was feeling. They must have been so overwhelmed with emotions.

Elsewhere, Laurel and some irrelevant broad are talking about some boring lawyer stuff that no one is really listening to. Suddenly, the news report is seen, telling everyone about Oliver's survival. Laurel turns it off in a fit of rage, yelling at everyone to get back to work.

"She doesn't seem very happy about that news," John noted.

"I thought they were good friends," Zoe frowned.

Will shrugged. It was hard to tell what everyone was going through back then. The situation was completely impossible, and no one could possibly understand it. (Not unless they had gone through it themselves that is.)

Oliver's voiceover explains how everything is strange. Ollie is seen standing in front of the mirror, looking at his scars.

Everyone cringed. It was difficult to see Oliver this way, especially for the Queen kids. They had always known their dad had a number of battle injuries, but it was still hard to fathom. No one wanted to see someone they cared about in such a state.

There is a flash of the Vigilante on the screen before the scene switches to a flashback. Robert is talking to a crew member about the storm. Oliver approaches and asks if they are in trouble; Robert lectures Ollie about cheating on Laurel with Sara.

"Yikes," Sarah winced.

"Yeah, sleeping with your girlfriend's sister...bad call," Gavin nodded in agreement.

"I had no idea Dad was such a player back then," Venus shook her head. She almost laughed, realizing she was the exact same way, always sleeping around with guy after guy. Still, she had never slept with anyone's sibling. That was just taking it to far.

The scene shifts again and Oliver is seen sitting and staring a picture of himself and his father when the front door opens. Tommy Merlyn walks in. "What did I tell you? Yachts suck!"

"Is that that Merlyn guy they were talking about earlier?" Jupiter asked.

William shrugged. "That doesn't look like the guy I saw on Lian Yu," he said. He vaguely remembered Malcolm Merlyn on the island. Though, this guy did look a little like him. He guessed they were related somehow.

Everyone is sitting around the table. Tommy is listing off the things Ollie missed - all the super bowl winners, how lost ended, etc, etc. Thea suddenly asks what it was like on the island, and Oliver answers with, "Cold."

"Accurate," Will commented.

Tommy declares that he and Ollie are going out to "catch up on things." Oliver agrees and asks to see the company office. Walter denies this, claiming there will be plenty of time for all that later. Raisa comes out with a bowl of pears. For some reason, she trips and almost drops the bowl, but Oliver catches her. She apologies and Oliver says something in Russian to her to show off just how truly badass he had become over the last five years. Everyone expresses their surprise. Walter says, "I didn't realize you took Russian in college." Ollie replies with, "I didn't realize you wanted to sleep with my mother, Walter."

Team Nightquiver shouted out, shocked at how brutally honest the Green Arrow was. There was absolutely no sugar coating, and the team admired that greatly. It was so hard for a person to find an honest person these days, what with everyone so terrified of offending everyone or being ridiculed for having the "wrong" opinion.

Everyone sits awkwardly. After awhile Moira and Walter make lame attempts at justifying themselves. Oliver waves them off and excuses himself.

"Awkward," Zoe muttered.

The next scene shows Oliver laying on the floor of his bedroom. It's raining outside, and he is apparently having a nightmare.

"Why is he sleeping on the floor?" Venus asked.

"Think about it," Jupiter said. "He spent five years sleeping on the cold, hard ground. Bed's are probably pretty weird after that. He probably had to readjust to them."

The younger sister shrugged. "I guess that makes sense."

There is a flashback of Ollie and Sara on the Gambit. They are being sexy and drinking alcohol. Whilst they prepare for having sex, they talk about the storm drawing near. Sara feels guilty for a second, claiming Laurel will kill her. Oliver climbs on top of her and kisses her, but the storm hits the boat and Sara falls out into the water. Oliver falls in as well, but he is saved by a crew member and his dad. He calls out to Sara, but there is no sign of her.

"Damn, that's intense," Sarah frowned. She couldn't believe how much her dad's friend had been through. How much her namesake had gone through. And, still, this was just the tip of the iceberg. There was still worse to come, she knew. Sarah dreaded watching further; she began biting her fingernails, anxiously waiting for the awful scene to be over.

Moira tries to wake Ollie up. He freaks out and attacks her. Walter and Moira calm him down, and Ollie jumps back, horrified at what he had just done.

The team shifts awkwardly. It was weird seeing the Green Arrow so vulnerable and frightened. This Oliver Queen was very different from the strong, confident, unwavering man they all knew and loved today.

Meanwhile, (or the next morning. Whatever.) Thea and a friend were about to do drugs in her room.

Jupiter stared at the screen in complete shock. "Aunt Thea did drugs?"

"Wait. Seriously?" Gavin gasped. His mom had never told him about her misadventures as a teenager before. (Of course, it was understandable. No one wanted their kids to know about their mistakes. People didn't even want strangers to know about their past for fear of being judged.)

Oliver and Tommy walk in, and the girls hide the drugs. Oliver and Thea exchange stupid nicknames and Thea's friend leaves. Oliver gives Thea his rock gift, and Tommy makes a stupid joke about a shirt saying, "My friend was stranded on an island but all I got was this shirt."

"That's a lame joke," Venus rolled her eyes.

Oliver and Tommy leave. As they travel through the city they have a gross conversation about Thea being hot and Tommy getting laid at Ollie's funeral. Oliver suddenly asks to see Laurel for some reason. Tommy says it is ill-advised, but he takes them there anyway because of drama.

"This isn't going to end well," Zoe noted.

The others nodded in agreement. After all, people generally got pretty pissed when their boyfriend cheated on them with their sister, right before allegedly getting them both killed. (It was a pretty complicated mess.)

Laurel is seen doing her job before Tommy and Ollie show up. They go outside and Laurel yells at Ollie, being pissed at him for "killing" her sister. She walks away angrily. Tommy and Ollie leave, and Tommy tries to lighten the mood by suggesting seafood. But they randomly get kidnapped for reasons we'll find out later.

"What the heck?" John yelped in surprise.

"They're going to get their asses kicked," Venus said. She had seen her dad in action before. He was a real badass, and he rarely ever lost a fight. These dumb thugs didn't stand a chance against him.

There is another flashback of the crash.

Jupiter felt her eyes water at the scene. She couldn't imagine having to make that kind of tough decisions. Jupiter could barely choose between having Dr. Pepper and Root Beer with her lunch, never mind trying to keep everyone alive after a boat wreck. Glancing over at Zoe, she saw that the older girl was in a similar state, unable to handle all these scenes.

Venus and Gavin exchanged looks, wondering what their now deceased grandfather had meant by his statement. Had he failed in the city? Wasn't he the only one? What had happened, and how many people were involved?

John and Sarah frowned. The scene was very sad, yet strange at the same time. What was the meaning behind it? How did Robert know Oliver would live? Had he been planning this whole thing all along?

William sighed. Being the oldest of everyone on the team, he had heard the stories first. (And much more in-depth.) He knew exactly what his grandfather had meant in the scene, and he knew exactly what he had done. Will couldn't imagine living with that much guilt.

Back to the present, the kidnappers have taken Ollie and Tommy to a warehouse. One of the kidnappers is standing in front of Ollie, demanding to know if Robert is dead. Ollie tells him yes, before breaking free and kicking everyone's ass.

John whistled, impressed with the display he had just witnessed. He couldn't believe that Oliver had such moves. It was an honor to have trained under the man.

Sarah and Zoe watched the fight scene, nodding with approval. Oliver Queen certainly knew how to fight. Neither one of them would want to take the man on in a fight. Almost no one could take Star City's favorite vigilante.

Gavin, William, and the two Queen sisters wore a look of pride. Their dad/uncle was a true badass. Each of them looked up to him in their own ways. He was a hero in their eyes, in spite of everything he had done in his early years of vigilantism.

Later everyone is in the Queen Mansion. Quentin Lance and some officer no one cares about are taking Ollie and Tommy's statement. Tommy claims to have only seen movement. Ollie claims them was a man in a green hood. Quentin seems skeptical.

Team Nightquiver chuckles, realizing Oliver was talking about himself. Who didn't love some dramatic irony?

Quentin makes a snide comment, which Moira gets offended about. Walter kicks the cops out in a passive-aggressive manner. Quentin makes a rude comment as he leaves with the other officer.

"Someone has a grudge," Venus muttered.

"It was a hard time for the Lances," Will sighed sympathetically. He was starting to lose count of how many times this show made him sympathize with the parents who had lost their children. (Or at least thought they had.) Nothing could be worse than that.

Raisa and Oliver have a conversion about Oliver being different.

William smiled. Raisa was the sweetest. He really wished they could have stayed in touch. She had been a huge help when he was trying to adjust to his new life after his mother's death. Once again, he thought he should try to give her a call when they were finished binging the show.

Oliver tries to leave, but Moira stops him. She introduces Digs. Oliver protests, but loses the argument.

"Aye! It's our dad!" Sarah grinned. She nudged her brother; John smirked back. They were both excited to see how their dad had met Oliver Queen.

Venus giggled. It was interesting to know that her dad's best friend was originally meant to be his bodyguard. (Humorous, considering Oliver Queen could take care of himself.)

Ollie and Dig are seen in the car. They talk about Dig being ex-military, but Ollie slips out of the car in the middle of the conversation. Dig is shocked.

Team Nightquiver laugh among themselves. The scene was quite humorous.

Oliver inexplicably puts together a kick-ass base in five minutes, before proceeding to do a training montage. His voice-over says some dramatic stuff to sound badass.

"Sound ominous," Zoe said, referring to the voice over.

The other's nodded in agreement. They had no idea just how intense Oliver had been when he was just starting out.

Adam Hunt is seen ordering goons to kill Laurel, but Ollie beats them up and threatens Hunt for money.

William watched in fascination. He was surprised just how ruthless his father had been. Though he knew he would get much worse, and this was only the beginning.

Hunt is seen complaining to the police. Quentin makes a Robin Hood joke.

"Lame joke!" Venus said, rolling her eyes. She had already heard all those jokes about her father. The novelty had really worn thin.

Digs take Ollie to a welcome back party across from Hunt's place. (Because of duh.) Tommy and Ollie (and extras) party loudly. Hunt finds them annoying. Back at the party, Tommy makes an annoying comment about Dig before making a crude comment about sex. There is also a stupid Twilight joke.

"Is it porn or something?" Venus asked. She didn't understand why this Twilight thing would be so bad. What was it?

Will shrugged. "It's an old book," he said. "You know from back when books actually had paper. Vampires and stuff."

"That's...weird," Venus said.

Ollie stops Thea from doing drugs. Thea throws a tantrum and leaves. (She is overflowing with teen angst and post mourning.)

"At least he threw the drugs away," Zoe commented. "Nasty happy. I'm glad he's looking out for her."

The others nodded in agreement. Venus meanwhile felt sympathy for Thea. That couldn't have been easy for her. It was mind boggling, having her allegedly dead brother suddenly thrust back into her life.

Oliver and Laurel talk about Sara.

The team watches sadly. The thought was hard enough to comprehend, never mind actually experiencing it. Not knowing whether your sister is okay or not. Wondering how she had gone down if she had suffered.

Oliver says something rude to cover up his needing to leave. Laurel walks off, hurt. Ollie runs into Digs, but he puts him in a sleeper hold before going off to be a vigilante.

"Smooth," Will sighed.

Ollie beats up the baddies and gets the money. Quickly he runs back to the party and puts on normal clothes, before the police crash the party. There is an awkward confrontation where Quentin is bitter about Ollie being alive but not Sara. The other officer drags Quentin out, and the party continues. There's a flashback of Robert killing himself and some other guy no one cares about.

The team gasped, staring at the screen in horror. They couldn't believe Oliver had witnessed such a horrible act. It was hard enough to see a perfect stranger die, never mind your own parent. And by suicide at that. How was this man still sane?

Laurel and Tommy talk, setting the show up for an awkward love triangle. Oliver's voiceover claims he will take down all the corrupt people of Starling City.

During the credits, everyone sat around, processing what they had just watched. So much had happened in just one episode.

Jason Hunter: I definitely will. But right now I have to many stories going at once, so it probably won't be until much later.
