Everyone is innocent in prison. Including Wing! SP is somewhat both disappointed and relieved that Stephen Amell did not have a shirtless workout scene in this episode. Oliver is coming to grips in both the flashbacks and in “real time” that he is a killer. Oliver is coming to terms that he cannot do it all alone and starts to gather his “Team Arrow.” Diggle agrees to come on board with Team Arrow to be the moral compass of the team. Oliver also is reaching out to Laurel for her help as well. What is up with the Queen’s Gambit back in Starling City? SP just wants to have a conversation with Felicity. And Felicity is displaying just how capable she really can be to both Walter and Oliver. Does Tempest mean anything beyond the operation to raise the Queen’s Gambit? And the book remains the big mystery with its list. Malcolm Merlyn makes his grand debut to the series, and it’s always good to see John Barrowman on screen. SP is not impressed with Wing’s “Bat Vaulting” term. SP prefers the term “Bat Perching.”  The two hosts run down the Bat Checklist for the second time. The voice modulator needs some work to become more functional. We’re just starting to see the complexities of this seemingly simple island in the flashbacks. And SP NEVER remembers his last word…or DOES he?
