Ep 7:
Transport truck. Ghosts on motorcycles. They're going to rob the armored truck. Make him crash. Black Canary stops them from killing the driver. Diggle and Speedy join the fight. Green Arrow gets the driver safe. Ghosts burned the money. Feds had sent it to prop up the city bank.
Arrow Cave. Thea wonders what HIVE has to gain? Oliver says a base of operations. Felicity still can't figure out the tooth. Oliver suggests asking Ray. Diggle shows Oliver the file on Andy. HIVE had Andy killed because his criminal activity conflicted with theirs. Oliver says there has to be a reason....he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Conklin and Oliver on the Island. Oliver figures someone put Vlad up to attacking him. Conklin says that was Taiana's brother.
Ray and Felicity at her place. She suggests getting his company back. Ray asks what can I do for you. John pulled this off a ghost. She asks why he won't come back to PalmerTech. He says the DNA has been degraded by a specific compound.
Campaign HQ. Alex tells Oliver to attend the PBA. Thea says we need a way to say the police need our help without throwing them under the bus. She gets a call and turns off her phone. Alex says cleaning up the bay is a hippie crunchy program. We need to focus on crime and jobs. Oliver says it will add jobs. He leaves for a call. Then comes back and says we have to go. Felicity called about the dental problem.
Team Arrow. They're after the compound. Oliver says incoming. Ghosts at the north entrance.
Black Canary and Diggle look for the compound. She finds it. A ghost shoots. Diggle saves her. He tells her to go. He's going for an ID on the ghost. Pulls the mask off and it's ANDY. Andy escapes.
Diggle says nothing makes sense. Oliver says we don't know anything, not until we hear it from Andy. Felicity remembers a ghost had a chance to kill Diggle and didn't. Diggle says that HIVE member was nothing like my brother. He'd dead.
Oliver tells Baron that Conklin put the prisoner up to attacking him. Baron asks why did you kill him? Because he attacked me. Conklin says he didn't put him up to it. Baron says you're lying. The wrong should make things right.
Darhk summons Lance. After our meeting last week, I had an unpleasant meeting with the Green Arrow and his associates. Lance says your security guys don't trust me. What about you? Damian says tread carefully. The death of your daughter is not the most terrible thing I can threaten you with.
Thea gets a call from Malcolm. I don't want to talk to you. He's there in the apartment. I want to help you. The effects of the deaths are wearing off. He gives her a file on a pedophile. Lives 3 blocks down. She says I'm going to go out and if you're still here, I'm calling the police.
The Benefit. Is Oliver ready? He gives his speech to honor the police dept. It's never been easy, and never been more difficult then right now. These people protect us, and I've never been more grateful. People clap. Lance says no bad. Oliver asks for a favor. Lance says Darhk called me into his office. He saw something about Slip 52 at the docks on Damian's desk.
Diggle and Laurel chat at the bar. She says appreciate that your brother is actually alive. After Andy died, part of you died, too. Now is your chance to heal. Diggle doesn't know how to do that. I had to tell my nephew he would never see his daddy again. I would've done anything to get Andy back. Those months after his death were the darkest of my life. Would've traded my life to get him back, but I would've been trading it for a stranger.
Damian asks Oliver for a minute to talk. Offers connections, funds. The levers of powers have changed. Oliver asks what do you want? Damian says leave the Bay as it is. Oliver asks what if I refuse? Then you'll no longer be unopposed.
Arrow cave. Felicity listing all of Oliver's terrible ideas. Oliver wants to use him to get at HIVE. She says remember the last time? What about your mayoral campaign? He says taking down Darhk is more important. She says you ran for mayor to give the city hope. Don't lose sight of that. Not even for John.
Island. Conklin on his knees. Baron says his punishment comes from the one he sought to hurt. Gives Oliver a whip. Conklin begs. Oliver whips him. Baron says harder. Oliver keeps striking.
Thea and Alex's date. He gets a call. A man comes over to her. You look like the kind of girl where no means yes. She attacks him and beats on him. Alex comes back. What the hell are you doing?
Diggle at home. Lyla sits with him. He says how am I supposed to tell Carly? She says she has a right to know. He says when he first heard about the Lazarus Pit, he'd daydream about having Andy back. I never thought it'd actually happen. Knock on the door. She gets it. It's Oliver. May I come in? Sure. She gives them privacy. He asks Diggle how he's holding up? As good as can be expected. Oliver says the pier has been shut down for the night. Diggle will go, but just us. Thea and Laurel sit this one out.
Damian having a meeting with men. He gives them yellow pills. They make you cooperative. They're volunteers, but there can never be too much compliance. Perhaps a demo. Kneel. They do. People of this city, what's left of them, call you Ghosts. They have no idea how right they are. Oliver and Diggle spotted. Andy says kill the green one. Diggle and Green Arrow fight the ghosts. Flash bang knocks Oliver out. Diggle grabs an arrow, grabs Oliver, and gets them out of there before the arrow explodes.
Felicity bandages Oliver. Diggle wants a sec. He says Oliver, let this go. You almost got yourself killed. Andy made his choice. Oliver says you don't know that. You saw those men tonight. Diggle says Andy let his son and wife believe he's dead for 8 years! There's no excuse for that! Oliver says you don't know. Hold out hope. I need that hope. I need to believe that we can come back from that! Diggle says that thinking is what got you in the League last year. Oliver says we're going to take this guy down and no idea is off the table. Diggle says let's take the SOB down in the light of day!
Island. Taiana making roasted lizard. Oliver sits. Guilty. I have to tell you something about your brother. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. She grieves.
Felicity finds Ray in her place. He's still working on stuff at the table. She tells him you're stalling. You're supposed to start living again. He says I've been catching up on the last 6 months, and no one cares. Look at Star City. My company is on life support. She says self pity is not a good look on you. He says it's self reflection. I need to figure out what I'm living for. He worked on the tooth. Can't ID the DNA. But he found sodium fluoride. At a facility with too much. A psychiatric center. She says not bad.
They tell Diggle they have a location. He says I'm not letting you get killed for Andy. Felicity says we need to get Andy out. Diggle doesn't want them to risk their lives for someone that doesn't deserve it. Oliver says that's not your call. The team has decided to go with or without Diggle.
Team Arrow on site. Felicity says there's a hell of a lot of Ghosts here. They have new fancy cameras. Un mask our Ghosty friends. They get in position. Oliver says it looks like a staging area.
Speedy's spotted. Black Canary, too. They fight. Andy grabs Thea. She fights him solo. Into an elevator. Doors open. Into another corridor. She shoots him with an arrow. I could use a hand.
Ray joins Oliver in the Atom suit.
Thea runs into Damian! You're trained by Ra's Al Ghul. How is Malcolm doing these days? He grabs her, then is in pain. Hmmmmmm. She runs away.
Black Canary has Andy, but she needs help. Oliver tells Ray to go help. Diggle shows up. My brother needed me - the green one.
Arrow Cave. Diggle thanks all of them. Ray says it feels good to be useful. He's going to take some time and figure out things. But he'll come if he's needed. Diggle is ready to talk to Andy. Oliver says you were right about Darhk.
Island. Taiana says she was a dive instructor on a charter yacht. What happened? He says Conklin. She wants to kill him. Oliver says he's not the problem, he's a pawn in Baron's plan. This is a map of Lian Yu. He needs a detailed survey map of the island. I need your help.
Malcolm arrives. Do you have the SCPD in the kitchen? She says don't be so paranoid. I'm still not taking your advice. I found a different way. What? She says Damian Darhk. Last night, we went into HIVE and I ran into Damian. His powers backfired and my bloodlust was gone. Help me figure out a way to make that permanent.
Andy in a cage. Diggle says I don't know where to begin. Can you help me understand? Is what's in this file true! Andy, answer me. Andy looks at it. Gives it back. It's true. All of it. Turns his back. Sits on the floor.
Oliver and Alex at the dock. Thea arrives. Sorry I'm late. Alex says we're just getting started. She asks him to be patient with her. Oliver gives a press conference. Damian is there. Oliver says I wouldn't be here today if I wasn't confident this could solve problems. The fight to save Star City is going to be fought in the light of day. I'll never stop fighting to save this city.
Next ep - crossover. Vandal Savage is immortal. Hawkman and Hawkgirl meet. Heroes Join Forces.
