Queen Manor
"Moira may not have made the best decisions as a person but in the end, she had proven to be a devoted mother, who would have given up her life to save her children." Henry said solemnly. "I won't lie, I didn't have exactly a high opinion of her but… she proved herself to be a good person." Jack and Chloe had sad faces as they toasted.
"Thea, if you need anything, we're here for you." Laurel assured the crying young Queen as she hugged her.
"I can't believe Ollie isn't here." Sara murmured as she stood aside with Diggle.
"If Oliver's smart, he ran back to his island to hide." Isabel said smugly as Sara and Diggle glared at her. "But maybe he'll attend your funerals."
"This is not over." Sara hissed as Isabel stalked past her.
"What are we going to do?" Henry asked. "We can't let Slade walk away with this."
"Before we'll be able to convince the brass that he's a real threat, it might be too late." Jack protested.
"Oliver would know what to do." Chloe murmured.
"How do we even know that Slade hasn't killed him?" Henry pointed out.
"If he was dead, Slade would have let us know." Sara said as she approached them. "He said it himself, he wants to make Ollie suffer first."
"If we won't find a way to take Slade down, we're all damned." Jack murmured.
"I think I know how." Laurel said as she approached the group. "I think Sebastian Blood had something to do with it."
"Wait a minute, Laurel, we've been down this road before." Chloe protested. "Blood's clean."
"Think about it." Laurel insisted. "The only reason he's the mayor is because Moira is dead."
"Look, assuming you're right, how are we gonna prove it?" Henry asked.
Later, SCPD
Laurel, Kelton and Quentin hacked into the records of the Mayor's Office as they saw Sebastian's press release on Moira's death dated the day before she died.
The Lair
"We're almost out of snake venom." Diggle said worriedly as he checked in on Roy.
"We need the Mirakuru cure from S.T.A.R. Labs as quickly as possible." Sara said.
"Yeah, especially since Rochev was apparently injected with that stuff." Henry nodded. "There's no way one can survive three magazine clips of pistol without some dosed up help. I've left over dozens of messages to Oliver. He hasn't called back."
"And there hasn't been any activity on his passport, cell phone or bank account and no facial rec has no match at airports, bus or train stations either." Chloe nodded.
Jack sighed. "There's someone who might be able to help."
"Who?" Sara asked.
It then hit Henry and Chloe. "You're not suggesting…"
"Hell no."
A.R.G.U.S. HQ
Diggle and Jack approached Waller. "Mr. Diggle. Mr. Wheeler. As far as A.R.G.U.S. is concerned, you are out of favors."
"We're not asking for ourselves, Amanda, we're asking for everyone in Starling City." Diggle neared her. "We need you to find Oliver Queen."
"This is an urgent matter. Please." Jack pleaded.
"Slade Wilson has an army of men just like him." Diggle finished and Jack stared at him incredulously.
Amanda looked at both men startled. "How many men have been exposed to the Mirakuru?"
"Enough to lay waste to this city." Diggle said bluntly. "We need to find Oliver now."
"I'll see what I can do." Waller said as she left the office as Jack grabbed Diggle by his arm.
"Diggle, you shouldn't have told her that."
"What? She knows how dangerous Slade is." Diggle pointed out.
"Exactly." Jack nodded. "You know how ruthless she is, the end justifies the means. Or have you forgotten what happened in Markovia with Lawton and Qadir?"
Diggle tensed, realizing he might have just made a big mistake.
Later, they found Oliver in a second lair.
Later, elsewhere in Starling City
Sara, Diggle, Henry, Jack, Laurel and Chloe entered the place as they looked around before finding Oliver sitting on the floor, pinning his back to a pillar.
"Ollie." Sara called out.
"How did you find me?" Oliver asked.
"Waller." Diggle explained.
"You had us worried." Chloe pointed out.
"You didn't go to the funeral." Henry added.
"I'm sorry that I didn't go." Oliver said. "I left for the cemetery but I ended up here."
"What is this place, anyway?" Jack asked.
"Here was a secondary facility in case the Foundry was compromised." Oliver revealed. "But it became somewhere that I could just go and…" He sighed. "Be alone. She's dead because of me." He got up on his feet. "Five years ago, I could have cured Slade. And that would have prevented all of this. And now, all the people that I care about, we are all in his crosshairs. It ends tonight."
"How?" Laurel asked, worried as Oliver picked up his jacket.
"I turn myself over to Slade. I end this vendetta." Oliver said.
"What?!" Henry shouted.
"Have you lost your mind?!" Chloe demanded.
"Oliver, you think this ends with you turning yourself over to Slade?"
"Yes, I do." Oliver nodded. "After she was gone… he told me that one more person had to die. And then it would end. This ends for Slade when he kills me."
"No!" Sara protested. "Ollie, no, you can't! Not after everything we've been through together! You can't commit suicide!"
"I'd rather be dead than lose more people!" Oliver snapped.
"You can't give up yet, Ollie! You always find a way!" Laurel pleaded.
"Not this time." Oliver protested.
"You're wrong." Laurel said tearfully. "You want to protect the people who you love? Then the only way to do that is to stop Slade Wilson."
"Laurel, I can't!" Oliver snapped.
"Yes, you can!" Laurel yelled. "By stopping Sebastian Blood because Sebastian is working with Slade Wilson."
"What?" Oliver gapped, shocked.
"She's right." Henry nodded. "We have proof. Slade killed your mother so that Sebastian could become the mayor."
"You were right about him." Oliver murmured as he walked past his friends. "The man in the skull mask works for Slade Wilson. And this entire time, it was Sebastian."
"This isn't just about us and Slade, Ollie." Sara said. "This city needs us. This city needs the Arrow and Canary."
Later, Mai Lee restaurant
"Sebastian, may I join you for dinner?" Oliver asked as he sat across Sebastian, while Sebastian's bodyguard Clinton Hogue was apprehended by Diggle and Jack.
"Of course." Sebastian nodded. "I missed you at your mother's memorial service. I wanted to offer my condolences."
"You're the mayor. Congratulations." Oliver said. "You've always wanted that."
"Believe me, Oliver, I wish it had happened a different way." Sebastian offered. "Your mother and I, we… we didn't agree on much but we both wanted what was best for Starling City. I will help this city find its heart again, I promise you that."
Oliver neared Sebastian. "Do you really think he will let that happen? Slade Wilson." He clarified as Sebastian looked confused, then paled, looking shocked.
"How do you know I've been working with Slade Wilson?"
"Because I'm the Arrow." Oliver revealed.
Sebastian scoffed as it hit him. "Of course. And your relationship with Sara Lance and the Arrow and the Canary. How could I not have seen this? It all makes sense now. It was right in front of me. You came to my office and you shook my hand. You said that together, we can save this city."
"You think that there will be a city to be saved after you unleash Slade's Mirakuru army?" Oliver demanded.
"They'll only cause enough damage to make the city ready." Sebastian replied.
"Ready for your leadership?" Oliver scoffed.
"For my vision of what this city could be." Sebastian replied insanely. "A better city and after the storm they're about to suffer, the people of Starling will support and follow me to that city."
"Whatever Slade has promised you, he will not deliver." Oliver warned. "He wants to hurt me. You are a pawn in a much larger game."
Sebastian leaned back smugly. "Slade promised me city hall. And he delivered. He makes good on his promises. I understand he made you a promise too." Oliver grabbed the knife as Sebastian smirked. "What are you going to do? You're going to stab the mayor in a restaurant full of people? It's a new day in Starling City. And there's nothing you can do to stop it." He got up from his chair, pushing it in the table and leaving the restaurant.
Later, Starling City
The Arrow and Canary were in the underground sewer system as they found Brother Blood talking to his army of men wearing the same mask Slade had.
"I have eyes on Blood's army."
"Good, Jack, Dig and Henry are planting the charges around the place."
Starling City Train Station
Thea was watching TV before waiting for her train before the masked men started to cause panic and attack the guards.
Elsewhere in Starling City
The Arrow and Canary heard a stomping sound as they saw one of Slade's soldiers approaching them as the Arrow fired a bola arrow and kicked the man but the soldier broke free and caught another of the Arrow's kicks before he threw the Arrow at the Canary. They both got on their feet and dodged the soldier's punch but another one knocked the Canary on the ground as he wrapped the cable around the Arrow's throat, choking him, just as Laurel whacked the man on the head from behind with a piece of pipe as the soldier turned around and neared her, just as the Arrow fired an explosive arrow into his back before staring at Laurel and shaking his head.
"Come on." The Arrow ordered, just as the Canary got up and groaned, shaking her head as she saw her sister in the dangerous situation.
"Oliver, Sara, where the hell are you two?!" Diggle demanded.
"We don't have time. Blow it." Jack said as Diggle picked the trigger but they were both knocked on the ground and then they looked up, disbelieved to see Isabel Rochev in a leather armor, holding two swords and in a mask similar to Slade's.
"You killed me. Let me return the favor." Isabel grinned.
"Mom, where are we going?" Riley asked as he and Nicole were entering the car. "Is it happening again?"
"Uncle Hank said that it's not safe for us anymore here, we need to go." Nicole said.
"What about Uncle Hank? And Dad? They're not coming with us?"
"Riley, please…" Nicole pleaded.
"No, I don't want this to end up like in Africa!" Her son protested.
The Arrow, the Canary and Laurel reached a dead end in the tunnel.
"There's too many of them! We can't fight!"
"We're not going to." The Arrow said as he fired an arrow on the ceiling as the concrete collapsed down upon them.
Over fifty men in masks were walking down the street, preparing to tear the city apart.
