Adrian: How about I take the blame for the cover up?

Oliver: Okay great!

Adrian: ummmm.... yea

Oliver: Oh yea thanks a lot bud!

Adrian dissapointedly walks out of the room

[u/ezreads]

"you're not just my boss Oliver...you're my friend"

with a friend like that who needs enemies?

[u/Toahpt]

I'm really glad Vigilante didn't shoot his TV to make his intentions to kill the mayor so incredibly crystal clear to the audience. It would be so wasteful, because that's like a 400 dollar TV.

[u/DogmaBlade]

That Vigilante misdirect was godlike. I was actually shocked.

[u/[deleted]]

Adrian Chase's actor is killin it in more ways than one. He's my favorite part of Arrow so far.

[u/OnlyMyBiribiri]

Curtis' balls were the real MVP of this episode.

[u/WhyPlaySerious]

I have to applaud arrow. Totally thought that Adrian was Vigilante cause of the comics and thought that in a way he wanted to help Oliver.

That is all thrown out the window and I'm now completely lost as to who Vigilante is.

Well played arrow. Well played

Chase stabs Vigilante with a sword

Unmasks Vigilante

It's Chase

"Now this... is a complication."

[u/niffirgmason]

Well if Chase isn't Vigilante, this leaves only one option...

Booty Spivot is Vigilante confirmed!

[u/ezreads]

"its not just a story you could call it life or death"

well I got a dinner res

[u/tennen88]

Why was the Prometheus reveal so random? Just came out of nowhere, halfway through the episode.

[u/ArachnoLad]

It would be interesting if Prometheus was a group of hitmen as opposed to just one guy. Like a mini League of Assassins.

Also, Pike has to be Vigilante, right? There are no other characters, unless it's someone from the flashbacks.

[u/MisterrAlex]

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS A GOOD TWIST

[u/armoas207]

My opinion on this season has been wavering, but with that casual Prometheus reveal and the preview for next week, I'm really excited about Arrow right now.

[u/ezreads]

"think I just found a new use for my T-Sphere"

"your what?"

BOOM

[u/steveondrugs]

Adrian is going to make such a fucking good villain, I am very satisfied with this reveal

[u/CitizenCreed]

This was by far the best episode since Season 2. Major props to the Arrow team. I hope to see this trend continue

[u/gusefalito]

Great episode.

MVP to Josh Segarra for amazing performance this entire season but especially this episode. Can't wait to see him play the clear Big Bad

Interesting arc for Felicity and well written it too

Great progress with Mr. Terrific

Loving the arc with Thea and Oliver this Season

Excited for Episode 16!

[u/Sonia341]

Lance to Oliver: "How do you feel? Making yourself the villain."

[u/[deleted]]

Ok but who the hell is Vigilante?? Where'd he get his hi-tech skimask, why can he catch Prometheus' throwing stars??

Anyway, I was so deadset on Adrian being Vigilante that the Prometheus reveal completely took me by surprise. Also, Curtis was actually really good this episode, his T-Spheres were cool, and yeah he had a few moments where he should've kept quiet, but overall he was likable. Wild Dog and Dinah were fine too, and thankfully we didn't get angry Diggle again. He was back to mellow season 2 Diggle, which was nice. And I don't completely hate Felicity's storyline? While I'm upset that we won't be seeing more of Thea for a while, at least they gave us a semi-reasonable reason for her taking some time off. I still miss Ragman though.

Also, please don't kill Susan.

[u/TrippyTippy]

Everyone should be happy with that Prometheus reveal not just because of the misdirection, but also because Josh Segarra has been tremendous this season and now we get to see him go full villain. I've never heard of the actor before Arrow but he's really great.

[u/Sonia341]

Prometheus being Adrain Chase took me by complete surprise, I so did not see it coming

[u/the_456_Ambassador]

If Adrian is Prometheus, then:

• Why did he cover up Billy's murder?

• Why did he bail Diggle from jail?

• How could he get shot?

• Why does he want to take the fall for Oliver?

• How does he have time to be Prometheus if he's District Attorney?

[u/andrew991116]

I gave up on Arrow during S04E15 when Felicity stood up from her wheelchair.
I decided to give Arrow another chance four weeks into Season 5.
Now we're at S05E15, a full season after I gave up, I'm damn thankful that I decided to get back into the show.

"My name is Adrian Chase. After the murder of my father I trained with only one goal...to destroy Oliver Queen. But to do so, I couldn't be just the Vigilante, everyone thought I was. I had to become someone...else. I had to become something...else. I am Prometheus."
