"Restoration"

LAUREL TAKES HER SISTER TO NANDA PARBAT - The growing tension between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) puts both their lives at risk when they go after Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) and a H.I.V.E. deployed meta-human. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) talks Thea (Willa Holland) into returning to Nanda Parbat to ask her father (John Barrowman) to put Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) into the Lazarus Pit. However, Laurel is surprised when Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law) refuses to do it. Wendey Stanzler directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle & Speed Weed (#403). Original airdate 10/21/2015.

Ep 3:

Lumber yard. Diggle chasing bad guys. Shoot at each other. He gets knocked down, and the ghost didn't kill him. Green Arrow comes in on motorcycle to get the other guy. Felicity, we need eyes on our target. She uses a crane to trap one. Diggle pulls out his tooth, yells at him about HIVE. Gets tased for his trouble. Arrow pulls him up. Diggle says we need more boots on the ground.

Nanda Parbat. Malcolm and Nyssa sparring. She says she's not sparring. he knows. That's what makes it so much fun. She says next time, I'll take your head off. She managed to cut his neck. Thea and Laurel arrive. I want you to bring my sister back to life. Malcolm says no. Laurel says you took her life, you have an obligation. He says you have no right to demand anything. Nyssa says she never asked her father because bringing back the dead only happened in legend. Malcolm says And even if Sara went in the Pit, it would not be Sara anymore that came out. Laurel, I'm sorry, truly sorry, but the answer is no.

They give Felicity the tooth. She suggests margaritas. Diggle leaves. Guess he needs more time. Oliver says he's done waiting for Diggle to come around.

Lian Yu. Oliver patrolling. Woman says people gossip about him. There's a runner. Oliver tackles him.

Diggle comes home to an open door. A man is in the apartment. He's ARGUS. Lyla sent me. Took him a while. ID on the woman that hired Floyd. I'll contact you with a location.

Damian meets with Ms. Fayad. Your partners in HIVE asked to take steps re: your vigilante problem. Damian has the ghost brought in. The newcomer kills him with cards. That one was free. The Green Arrow and his friends? That'll cost. Damian says "deal."

Nanda Parbat. Laurel thought Nyssa would support this. Nyssa says the Pit gave my father life that he paid a dark price for. Like Thea is now. Laurel says I have to try. Nyssa says to have your sister return a monster? You're doing this out of grief. She's gone, Laurel, forever. I've accepted it. You have to, too.

Felicity working on the tooth. She has no idea what's going on here. This DNA has half the markers it should have. Alert goes off. Oliver says have Diggle meet me there.

Diggle watching Fayad. Doesn't answer his phone.

Felicity tells Oliver he shouldn't go without back-up. He says I have you.

Lian Yu - Oliver is told to not show restraint. Doesn't go well here. Solider says some Slam is missing, a whole cake. Other soldier says Round them up.

Oliver vs. the card thrower. He peels them off his skin.

Diggle gets caught. He fights the guard. Others start shooting at him.

Green Arrow and card guy fight.

Fayad gets in the car and drives away.

Oliver has a card in his arm as he runs away.

Thea and Malcolm talk about the Pit. The waters take life for life. It needs souls. She asks him for a second to pretend to be a normal father! He says there's a man high in the mountain that has a way with the ancient arts of healing, though I'm not sure. Does that qualify? She says enough. He says get some rest, we'll start at first light.

Felicity patches up Oliver. Cisco says the guy was Double Down. Diggle arrives. She yells at both of them. You nearly got killed tonight because you didn't have each other's backs! You're going to sit down here until you settle your issues. Do you understand? Yeah. Yeah. She goes to Palmer Tech. Oliver starts. Diggle says this isn't about forgiveness. I don't know how to move forward from this. I don't know if I'd take a bullet for you now like I would in the past. Oliver gets it, but why won't you give me a chance to earn your trust back? Diggle asks if this meta is connected to Darhk. Oliver says I don't know. He mentioned a woman, Fayad. Diggle says we need to go.

Lian Yu - Soldier says tell who stole the product, or this man eats a bullet. Silence. He kills the man. Oliver says I've been on this island 3 years. Learned some things. Like pain.

Felicity and Curtis. She says my phone keeps acting up. She gives him the card. I need to know everything you can figure out about it. She found it in a casino. I will check back in on you later.

Diggle's place. Remember Russia? Floyd told me he was hired by HIVE to kill my brother. Shows Oliver his notebook. That woman hired Laughton to kill my brother and I bet she hired that meta. Oliver says 2 years and you didn't tell me. We have more in common than you think.

Damian with Double Down. He's not happy. Mr. Darhk chews out Fayad. He wants a demo. Show me. Try to kill me. Double Down throws a card and Damian stops it in the air. He kills Fayad with the card. Then takes it and throws it at Double Down. This is a demonstration to show how I process disappointment.

Thea is awakened by assassins and kills them. Malcolm asks how do you feel? She says there's no mountain, no cure! He says no, there never was. You will feel like this until you kill the one that hurt you. She says I can't, Ra's is dead. Malcolm says then you must feed the blood lust. You're welcome, you won't feel the hunger for weeks now. She says you sacrificed your own men? Malcolm says there's nothing he wouldn't do for his daughter.

Felicity on the computer. Diggle and Oliver waiting for her to track Fayad. Her phone is at Redmond and Eighth.

Lian Yu - Oliver tortures a man. A woman comes forward and admits she took the drugs. You're working us too hard. I wanted to give something for the pain. Oliver stops the soldier from killing the woman. Says he'll make her disappear. They'll never find the body.

Thea wakes Laurel. We need to go. Malcolm follows. Thea says he's not going to help Sara or me. She says you are the reason I'm like this in the first place! Stay the hell away from me! He says we're bound together forever, father and daughter. Let me prove it to you. He will restore Sara to heal Thea's conscience. We should prepare Sara's body for the ceremony.

Green Arrow and Diggle find Fayad dead in a chair. Oliver says I'm sorry. Diggle says don't be, it's my fault. I should've told you, trusted you, and then she'd be alive and we'd be getting answers. Oliver says we'll get answers. You're not alone now.

Felicity in the lab again. He says it's not a playing card at all. She asks if there's a way to track the owner? He says the ink is magnetite. Double Down finds them. First one to tell me where I can find the Green Arrow gets to live. She drags Curtis into the secret elevator. Tells him she works with the Green Arrow. To the basement lair. She grabs guns. Fires at Double Down without aiming. But he does get hurt. Curtis is unconscious on the floor.

**Felicity, it's better to aim with your EYES OPEN! Someone needs to take that girl for some range time.

Oliver and Diggle get back. You fended him off? She says don't look so surprised. She traced Double Down to the expressway.

Sara is lowered into the Pit. Nyssa pleads with Laurel to not do this. Sara goes into the water. It takes a moment. Then Sara stands. She leaps out of the Pit, wild. Malcolm drugs her. Laurel goes to her.

Green Arrow and Diggle stop the car. Double Down gets out. Tell us about your employer. Diggle asks about the ghosts and HIVE. Double Down attacks Arrow. Diggle knows him out. Oliver took the cards to the chest. Kevlar helped. Diggle says you took a bullet for me. Playing cards. Still counts.

Restaurant. Felicity toasts Original Team Arrow. Double Down won't talk. So we should think about lair 3.0. Oliver says he's been working on something. Not a secret. A surprise.

Lian Yu - Oliver moves the woman faster. Gets her clear of a land mine. You need to trust me, or we're both dead.

Curtis cleaning up the lab. Felicity asks if he's okay. Yeah. She thanks him for not revealing the secret lair in the basement. He says he came to Palmer Tech to make the world a better place. Do you know how excited I am that my boss is doing just that? Felicity gets a coded message on her phone.

Laurel with Sara. Sara's still wild. Malcolm says we're in uncharted waters here. Prepare yourself for the worst.

Nyssa destroyed the Pit. Laurel asks why. Nyssa promises she will kill Malcolm. And now when I do, there will be no coming back. Malcolm orders her taken away. She tells Laurel that what's happening now is on your hands.

Next week - Lance and Damian are caught meeting up. Quentin asks Damian for help with Sara.
