Ep 8:
Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom. Prince Khufu offers his father tribute to Horus. Priestess Shiara says the offering is naive. Horus isn't pleased by trifles. Vandal Savage walks in. The sky rocks will keep coming. Khufu follows Shiara. And kisses her. Savage spies on them.
Kendra had a memory. Carter asks if she's okay. She says she doesn't remember anything, yet. Team Flarrow brought them to a farm house in the country. Nice house. Barry and Cisco arrive. The nerds share ideas about defeating the staff. Oliver calls them the "geek squad". Thea and Diggle will check with sources. Oliver says Kendra needs to work on training. Barry says don't let Oliver train you - I can still feel where he shot me. Oliver's leaving to check on something. Felicity says What's up, 'cause in Central City you're not you. He says I'll tell you about it after I know what i'm dealing with first.
Cisco and Kendra. We should talk. About everything. Cisco says let's not. You have a lot on your plate right now. you can't afford to be distracted right now. Carter brings over a trunk. Tells Cisco this is private. Cisco leaves. Tells Kendra to open it. It's the Hawkgirl costume. He says things will come to you. Skills, languages, memories of other lives. The clergy were warrior priests, and that's the side you need to remember. Or we probably die, again.
Oliver finds the woman and kid. Hi. She asks what he's doing here. He says I saw you with your son. She says William. He wonders.....he's 9? and..... She says William isn't yours. I met his father 2 months after moving to Central City. She drives away. Oliver got a hair. He gets a call from Malcolm.
Suit up. Barry is on the way. They meet in a warehouse to talk to Savage. Malcolm says no one knows about him and that's why I'm afraid of him.
Savage wants to not die. Only if he takes the life force from Kendra and Carter. this isn't your concern. Oliver shoots him with an arrow. Savage says Robin of Locksley taught him how to not feel pain. Turn them over in 24 hours, or I will lay waste to this city, and your city, too. Barry asks if he researched that speech in the mirror. LOL. Savage asks what hubris keeps you thinking you can prevent me from killing them again. Barry says it's hope.
Oliver says we're not giving them up. Malcolm says that's not your choice. You better not get my daughter killed, or you will beg for the likes of Vandal Savage.
Farmhouse. Kendra says my life isn't worth millions of people. Carter will talk to her. Cisco is pissed.
Barry thinks he's going to time jump. Last night, I ghosted. Cisco says don't panic. Now you know, now you might not do it. Cisco's head hurts.
Kendra asks if we killed ourselves to deny Savage of us. Everything in there is wiling to die to protect us! Isn't that insane? He thinks it's noble. Makes them heroes. She won't let them. He says then don't. Become the warrior you're meant to be. What you've always been. Hit me. She finally lets her wings out and tackles him. He's pleased. Felicity says we've got something.
Farmhouse. A tape from Lyla. Laurel says it comes from a conspiracy theory group that follows Savage. Felicity plays it. A professor says there is a way to stop Vandal Savage. Any object associated with the calamity that made him can destroy him. Tape ends. Diggle asks what that means. Kendra says the staff. It's how we kill Savage. Laurel says someone needs to tell Barry and Oliver.
Oliver gets the DNA test from Barry. Don't tell anyone about this. Felicity arrives. She asks what's in his pocket. He says it's about Damian Darhk. She makes him show.
Oliver visits his ex again. She tells William to go in the house. Oliver asks if we can talk? I know, Samantha. I know he's my son. Why didn't you tell me? She says your mother told me not to. A million dollars to tell you I miscarried. He doesn't believe her. She brings him inside. Wait here. Shows him the check she never cashed. He says I'm not that guy anymore. She knows, but can you tell me your life is any less crazy? He's right, it's selfish, but he wants to know his son and a young boy deserves the chance to know his father. She says no. No one can know. I will do whatever I have to to protect him. He begs her to not make him keep this from Felicity. She tells him it's only fair.
Oliver returns. Felicity confronts him. She's him the paper from Barry. You ran a paternity test. She says I can't hear another lie. he says it's more complicated than that. She doesn't care that he has a child. I care that you're lying! He wants a minute to process this by himself. She asks when were you going to tell me? If you trusted me, loved me, it'd be a relief to tell me. How can I be with someone that doesn't trust me? She walks away. Barry asks if he's okay. What happened? Nothing. I'm fine. Barry says you don't seen fine.
Farmhouse. Cisco thinks the gauntlet will work. Oliver gives directions for the game plan. He tells Team Arrow they can't come.
They bring Hawks to Savage in cuffs. He's happy. Still wearing those ridiculous outfits. You don't need to be here for this. It's tends to be unsightly. Calls Kendra his love. She says I'll never be yours. He knows. Goes to stab her and Oliver attacks him. The staff is loose. Hawkman is killed. Then Hawkgirl. Barry gets the staff and fires at Savage. Oliver helps. He tells Barry to run. Run! Savage takes the staff and burns Oliver. Then Barry is blown out. He runs fast to escape. The farmhouse is obliterated! Barry sees the ghost of himself. Time travel to the meeting with Malcolm.
Savage tells them to they have 24 hours and leaves. Oliver asks Barry if he's alright.
Back to the house. Barry says it won't work. Tells Oliver he traveled back in time. The plan to take out Savage doesn't work. Oliver says then we come up with a new plan. Barry says when I mess with time, it doesn't end well. Barry says you're not yourself when we go against Savage. Why? I tested the hair sample and Felicity found out and it sounded like it was over. You're someone's father, Oliver. So you're not focused, Kendra can't access her powers and........everyone dies, Oliver. Oliver says this time, they won't.
Oliver with Cisco's gloves. I'm worried about them not working. And I need you to talk to Kendra. What Carter's doing isn't working. We need her to use her powers reliably. She has to accept who she really is. Who better to do that than a guy that's clearly in love with her? Cisco will talk to her.
He goes to Kendra. Carter has this twisted. Focus on the priestess, the goodhearted person inside. You're resisting remembering being someone else. She admits she's been lying about the memories. She doesn't want to be an Egyptian warrior priestess. Cisco says it's heavy. But it's a gift. A miracle. Amazing. She says it feels like a nightmare. He says it doesn't have to. You have a choice. Close your eyes and let yourself remember.
Egypt. Shiara leaves the bed. Need to make another offering to Horus. Savage catches them. The clergy is forbidden to lie with royalty. Khufu tells him to get out. Savage puts him down. Khufu tackles him. Shiara stabs Savage. Savage stabs them both. The sky rocks have come to do their work. My hate will be everlasting. From this life to the next and the next and the next. Shiara prays to Horus. Khufu dies first.
Kendra knows how to beat Vandal Savage.
Cisco tells Oliver the gauntlets won't work. Kendra says I remembered how Savage killed us the first time. Meteors. They had a glow about them. Geek squad need the two pieces of meteorite. Barry grabs it from a museum. This time, Oliver brings Team Arrow.
Barry and Oliver ready for the meeting. Vandal about to kill Shiara. Kendra uses her wings this time. The van comes in. Team Arrow attacks. Barry takes the staff. Oliver helps him. They use it on Savage. Did we do it? Is he gone? Laurel is having deja vu. Oliver says you're not the only one. LOL. Savage is ash.
Cisco wonders what happens now. Barry asks if Savage is gone for good? Oliver asks what they'll do now. Kendra wants to help people. Can Cisco and I have a moment? He knows what she's going to say. Break-up. She says it's complicated. I want to find out what the plan is for my life. He accepts that. Made her something. If you're in trouble..... She kisses him. For being you. Thank you, Cisco.
Oliver tells Barry he's a guardian angel. Barry says we need to have a difficult conversation. Will you tell Felicity? We've changed time and I'm worried about temporal backlash. Oliver wonders if my world should be separate from William's. Barry says you should be part of his life. Barry makes Oliver hug him. LOL. Wasn't so bad, right?
He meets with Samantha. He agrees to her conditions. I won't tell anyone, even Felicity. She's the best. She says William is in his room. You're a friend of Mommy's, okay? Oliver meets William. Playing with a Flash doll. I've met him. He's super cool. One of the best guys I know. I'm Oliver, I'm a friend of your mom's. William asks him to play. Oliver would like to come by at time and say hello. That okay? William has a Captain Cold figure, too.
Home. The apartment is still a mess. Felicity wants to know what he said he'd tell. We're a team. I can't be a good teammate if I can't help you. I love you and I want to be the best teammate ever. Oliver says it's over. I'm back in Star City with you. He pulls her in to cuddle.
Malcolm says the same chant of Savage. Gathers the ashes. You owe me one, buddy.
OH NO!!!
Next week is the mid-season finale.
