#Arrow 5.10 - "Who Are You?" live blog

"Who Are You?"

OLIVER WANTS JUSTICE; FELICITY WANTS REVENGE — Worried that Prometheus is right and he is truly a killer at heart, Oliver (Stephen Amell) looks for any ray of hope and finds it in what seems to be the miraculous return of Laurel Lance (guest star Katie Cassidy). However, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), still reeling from Detective Malone’s murder, is bent on revenge – she wants to stop Prometheus at any cost. While in prison, Diggle (David Ramsey) fights for his life. Gregory Smith directed the episode written by Ben Sokolowski & Brian Ford Sullivan (#510). Original airdate 1/25/2017.

Episode 10:

LAUREL LANCE IS BACK, BUT FROM WHICH EARTH?

I saw you die. I was saved. I saw this white light and it's just like they say. This angel, she reached out to me. She was my sister. Sara teleported me to the Waverider. Oliver says I was there. Everyone was there. You didn't go anywhere. Laurel says she hadn't done it, yet. I asked her to bring me to your present. She gave me a second chance. He hugs her. It's a miracle. Felicity arrives. Hugs Laurel. It's a miracle.

Arrow cave. Laurel says Sara said they brought me back without causing an....aberration. Felicity wishes the Legends could bring back everyone we wanted. It's weird you're here....want coffee. I'm going to get a decaf. Laurel wants to call her dad. Oliver says after you, uh, your dad left with Donna and it didn't go well. He's in rehab. She says 9 months. I have a lot of catching up to do. Felicity will invite everyone to the party tomorrow. Oh! Forgot to tell you about John.

Oliver talks to John in jail. We need to work on a way of getting you out of here. John says no more running. I'll face these trumped up charges. Show Walker he picked the wrong lawyer to screw with.

Russia. Oliver in trouble. Bratva isn't happy. Kovar told me everything. Oliver says the deal you made betrays the Bratva. The leader disagrees. I will get obedience from you even if I have to beat it into you. Did you join to get to Kovar? Because of some promise to her? The photo.

Laurel talking to Thea on the phone. Rory and Felicity. He says we haven't buried Detective Malone, yet. She says it's hard to accept good news. Rene and Oliver. Has this happened before? Oliver says the Lances have a habit of coming back to life. rene joins Curtis on the balcony. Curtis says celebrating isn't right. Prometheus needs to pay for everything. Felicity serves champagne. Oliver gives a speech. I think it's important to embrace the miracles and remember they're still possible. Welcome home, Laurel. Cheers.

Bunker. Rory spooks Felicity. Sorry. He doesn't sleep. She's running a DNA analysis on Laurel's glass. Wow. She's aware it's paranoid. DNA matches. He suggests evil twin. Felicity says she has an evil twin! Canary Cry! Laurel says it's about time someone figured it out. She blasts Rory. You know the one problem with my ability? I can't hear my victims scream. Then she blasts at Oliver. He runs to Felicity when it's over. Are you hurt? She says I'm okay, but that's-- It's not our Laurel.

**I expected the reveal to take a little longer, but I guess Black Siren doesn't have patience. She must have the info to talk about Sara and the Waverider and all that from Evelyn and Prometheus since Siren would have no way of knowing things from her Earth. Oliver is dead (the shipwreck) and Robert Queen is/was the Arrow on Earth-2.

**I have wondered since Black Siren was introduced if she knew the Queens like our Laurel did growing up?

Curtis and Rene discussing Earth-2. Rory doesn't get why fake Laurel knew everything. Oliver says Prometheus. Cisco sent video from 3 days ago. Curtis asks why doesn't he kill you? Oliver says he wants me to suffer. Felicity says we're putting Black Siren back in her cage. Oliver needs to help John as mayor. Has his cell.

Russia. Bratva wonders why Oliver didn't go home. Oliver says I didn't return home to Laurel because after everything I've done, she wouldn't recognize me. So you've been made into a monster. Better than a sellout. How much did Kovar pay you to betray your brothers? They beat him.

Black Siren and Prometheus. Still Michael Dorn's voice. He attacks her when she says his plan was stupid. Your place is NOT to question me.

Oliver meets with the DA. John is innocent. The man framing him is a 3star general. John Diggle is a good man. better than the both of us put together. DA is reluctant but agrees. Then asks about the death of Det. Malone. Gives Oliver the details. Looks like Malone was set up. The Green Arrow was manipulated into killing him. I'm handling it. Wanted to let you know. The city would panic if the truth was known. Only way to see justice done. Oliver's phone. Laurel. I'm sorry. He made me do it. He threatened to kill me. You have to help me. Can you meet? Black Canary statue.

Team watching. Arrow waiting. Felicity put the boys on a separate channel. Light her up if you need to. Laurel thanks him for meeting her. He says you're a convincing liar. She says Prometheus did threaten her. She says I can help you track him. Felicity tells the boys to attack. Siren retaliates. Oliver drugs her with a dart.

**Oliver can take care of himself, Felicity! Thanks for being reactionary.

Arrow Cave. Oliver is pissed. Felicity says I told them to move. Oliver says since when do they take orders from you? He says she had her phone in her hand. I was handling it. I know it's another Laurel from a different Earth. We don't know why. We don't.

Curtis angry he got his ass kicked again.

Oliver tells Siren he's sorry for the cell. She says Prometheus was going to kill me and that's why I did what I did. On her earth, Oliver's been dead for 10 years. She moved to Central City for a fresh start and this happened. Once you let the darkness in..... Now I'm telling my sob story to a doppelganger of the man I loved. Oliver wants to help. We get to choose what we are. Who we are. So tell me.....who are you?

Curtis wants to walk home alone. Rene trying to get him to talk. You're supposed to be the happy one. Curtis pushes him. Yells at him. What difference does it make? All it's cost me is my blood, my sweat, my Paul. He left me. Because I'm never going to make it. I don't have what it takes, so I don't have anything.

Felicity punching the hit bag. Oliver says keep your wrist straight. I spoke to Laurel. She yells at him again. Oliver says I need to believe that differences are caused by circumstances, so why can't we change this Laurel's circumstances. I think I can reach her.

DA meets with Diggle. I'm representing you. Oliver is persuasive. Plus he's my boss. This is difficult. MPs want to take John. John says there won't be a trial. Walter will put a bullet in my head. Walker even walks in. John is escorted out.

Felicity visits Siren. Brings water. Laurel asks what happened between you and Oliver? Did he find someone else, or were you not tall enough. Do you have a sister? He loves sisters. Felicity says Oliver thinks you can become Laurel. I think you should get used to cages. he blames himself for Laurel's death, so when he looks at you, he sees redemption. Laurel says it must be frustrating that he doesn't listen to you. Felicity says I'm used to it. Lights go out. Siren screams.

Oliver returns. Felicity let her go. Put tracking nanites in her water. Oliver not happy. Can we have the room, please? He says to her, you could've been hurt. You risked your life because of Billy. We're going to get justice for Billy. She says we have to take care of your ex, who's not your ex. He watches video of the incident. Hears Felicity's words. You know me better than almost anyone. I failed Laurel before. I can't fail her again. Felicity crying again. That's not her. He knows. Laurel's gone. She's the last chance I have. Billy is my responsibility and we will get justice for him. She'll let him know when the nanites are live.

Russia. Oliver bleeding. Bratva says circumstances make the thing poison or nectar. You think you are responsible for the darkness inside you. If it wasn't for that island, you'd be that harmless American douchebag you pretended to be. I can give you family, one that sees you as a brother. All I ask if your obedience. Or else.....you don't leave this room alive.

Rene exists the elevator. Mom and Dad are going 12 rounds upstairs. He apologizes to Curtis. Curtis thanks him. He's working on a way to dampen the Canary Cry in a portable fashion. Rene says take a moment and appreciate what you can do, because it's pretty badass.

DA Chase tells Walker he can't let Diggle go without the proper paperwork. General asks anything else? Chase says it's not common for someone of your rank to personally supervise a transfer. Walker does it for terrorists. He will call the Attorney General if Diggle isn't in his custody in 24 hours.

Felicity has an address for Laurel. Curtis thinks he has something to help. She can't get thermal reading. We have to wait for confirmation of Prometheus. Oliver says no, we're taking her into custody. Suit up.

Guards find Black Siren. She screams. Arrow tells the team to create a perimeter. Felicity and Curtis still in the van. Prometheus is here. Black Siren found by Rene. She screams. He's down. Curtis has the device finished. Arrow and Prometheus fight again. Siren screams at Curtis and Felicity. Arrow drugs Prometheus with diazapam. Doesn't work. I have a tolerance. You shouldn't be worrying about me right now.

Siren is ready to kill Felicity.

Prometheus says Felicity or me. Arrow confronts Laurel. Don't do this. There's no coming back from it. If you end this now, we can find your old self again, together. Siren says she was never there and screams. And screams. Oliver shields Felicity. Curtis uses the dampener. You need to shut your damn mouth. Felicity punches Laurel unconscious. Hey, I kept my wrist straight.

**Okay, maybe she could get a lucky shot on Laurel from behind, but really? A one-punch knock-out is NOT easy girl to girl. Watch Women's MMA where they're TRYING to do it, and those chicks are WAY stronger than Felicity.

Jail. Diggle and Chase. Chase believes Diggle is in danger. Hit me. John does. Walker comes in. What the hell is going on here? Chase says your prisoner just decked me. In Starling County, the DA can supervise transfers if the suspect commits a crime in my jurisdiction. He's going to prosecute this offense. Walker will get a writ from the president. Chase says I've always wanted her autograph.

Rene and Curtis teasing each other. Curtis says he was right, I need to embrace what I can do. Rene says put your hands on me again and I'll kick your ass.

Felicity icing her hand. At least that's appropriate. Oliver says Prometheus was there. She says if the plan worked, he'd be in cuffs right now. I'm sorry she wasn't her. he's sorry about Billy. He was a good man. She says like you. He says Laurel is going to lockup in ARGUS. If there's anything of Laurel in there, I'll find it.

Russia. Follow me or die. Shots outside. Bratva leader grabs Oliver. Oliver saved by Talia Al Ghul. Hello, Mr. Queen. My name is Talia. I've been looking for you.

Black Canary statue remnants being carted away. Oliver thinks there's a woman worthy of Laurel's legacy out there. All we have to do is find her.

A bar. Men obnoxious to a waitress. A woman calls them cliche. Tells them to knock. They confront her. And she Canary Cries at them. Hmm.... So who's the new brunette?

Next ep - Finding the new Canary. She's a smart-ass.
