Arrow Recap: Canaries

Season 3 / Episode 13 / CW We’re back in Starling City in pursuit of some lightweight parkour’ing criminals. Arrow and Arsenal get some help taking down the crooks from the all new Black Canary. You would think Oliver would come to terms with this but my man was straight up, “the fuck you doing out here Laurel?” Yeap, Oliver is back to his hypocritical ways again this episode. He chastises the crew for allowing Laurel to pursue this. The rest of Team Arrow looking at one another thinking, “This dude was dead. We were here fighting for the city and paying rent and now he wanna come back and complain? Oooooookay.” Malcolm tells Ollie it’s time to bring Thea into the fold so they can make a united front against Ra’s. Ughhhh this is like inviting your friend that tries too hard to a party. You already know it’s going to be a disaster but you hope for the best. Thea is that friend. Before Ollie can process that we got the king of lame villains, Count Vertigo, back in the news. Dude escaped custody broad daylight by having a reporter drug his guard. The guard was going all GTA shooting into the crowd till Laurel stepped in.

Ollie tells Thea that he is the Arrow and as you would expect she is okay with it and thanks him for saving people. What she ain’t okay with is Merlyn having manipulated her by driving a wedge between Ollie and her (man wait till she finds out what she did when was on that hypnotic water from Merlyn). Back at the Quiver, Laurel was going to ride out with Oliver…
