Who would have ever guessed that an episode focusing on Tommy would be so good? It's about damn time they gave him a good story because up till now, the character has been pretty much useless and one that I couldn't see having a future in the show. He was beyond boring. So, with his Father the target of an assassination plot, that leaves Green Arrow the job of saving him. Only problem is that he isn't able to stop the bullet, which leaves him on borrowed time. With time running out, Oliver has no choice but to reveal his Arrow identity to Tommy, which immediately brings him in on the secret. Now, where does the story go? It seems like that Tommy will not handle this news well and it may set him down a dark path, which I'm okay with. It will add some luster and dirt to him.

The other big twist came at the end when Laurel's mother reappears from out of nowhere to tell her that she thinks that her sister may still be alive. This is getting good! Soap Opera 101.
