Why can't you accept that as a reward for the sacrifices you made? He says I didn't do it for a reward, I did them because they were right. There's still more to do. I'm begging you to come with me, I can't do it alone. She says she can't lose her family again. He says okay and hugs her. Crying. I want you to be well, be happy. I love you, Thea. He leaves.
Outside the mansion. Oliver says Thea's staying. It's raining. Oliver says we have to go fast. Dominators built in safeguards. He gets shot with an arrow. Their enemies are on the lawn.

Can we fly this thing? Thea activates something. It leaves the main ship. fighters follow in droves. Diggle says we got incoming. Oliver says we need a way to steer this thing! The Waverider shows up! Picks them up and leaves.
The newbies saved them. How'd you find us? Your nerd army on Earth did. Sara takes Dig to med bay. Ray says the Dominators used a neuro-morph interface. They wanted our minds occupied. Maybe they didn't choose us at random. Because we're not metahumans. Ray remembers what a Dominator said. Gideon translates. Nearing completion of the weapon. The big ship is heading to Earth.
Continued tomorrow. Barry is told to surrender to make the Dominators leave. And a saved by geeks moment. LOL.
