S02E10 - Blast Radius

Episode Info: ARROW HUNTS DOWN SHRAPNEL — Oliver must tackle a new threat to the city when bombs start to go off in Starling City. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) discovers the person setting them off is Mark Sheffer (guest star Sean Maher), a man who goes by the nickname Shrapnel. Arrow discovers Shrapnel’s next target is Sebastian Blood’s (guest star Kevin Alejandro) “Unity Rally” and tries to talk the alderman out of hosting it, but he refuses. Arrow sets off to stop the bombing, but Shrapnel tricks him and traps him in a bomb-laced antique store where he is unable to move without setting off the device. While Felicity helps Oliver, Diggle (David Ramsey) races to the plaza to find the bomb before it goes off. Meanwhile, Roy (Colton Haynes) continues to hide his new strength from Thea (Willa Holland) but, after she witnesses his super strength in action at the rally, she demands answers. Laurel’s (Katie Cassidy) suspicions about Sebastian grow stronger once she learns that he grew up with Cyrus Gold, the man who killed Lance’s (Paul Blackthorne) partner. After Donner (guest star Dylan Bruce) refuses to help her investigate, she turns to Arrow (Stephen Amell) for help. Rob Hardy directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Keto Shimizu (#210).

A coma?

That's how they'll explain his absence? Oh, okay.

I think it was the best option. It slow burns his pilot and gives him gaining powers more believable. Time to work in his system. Least it makes sense to me.

Sadly I did not. I forgot they were doing Laurel is a drug addict story line. I have learned to try and tune her out best I can so as to not get bored.

So, Detective Lance just knows Oliver is the Arrow and pretends not to at this point, right?

I feel like Arrow is going to reveal himself and Lance'll be like "Okay. Cool."

So im guessing were being prepared for the idea that Felicity will leave Arrow to help Barry deal with being the Flash?

No it was just an organic way to bring up what's going on with Barry. That way we know what's happening to him.

"Does that mean I have a shot at employee of the month?" Um, no. Diggle just got shot. By a bullet. That dude gets employee of the year.

If my ex-girlfriend said her new guy is as secretive and strange as I am (and I'm a vigilante crime fighter) that would make me start investigating.

Ollie needs to start thinking like Batman.

The best way to give someone a friendly warning about their safety is to seek up on them in the dark and yell their name in a menacing manner.
