Oliver, no matter how quietly you and Diggle whisper, Sara can probably hear you. Sara: “Pain and I came to a little understanding a few years back.” Sara as scarred up as Oliver is. What chance do you have against the man who trained him?” Oliver: “It helps that I didn’t come alone.” Oliver to Diggle ( David Ramsey)/Felicity: “Have you found somebody for me to hit yet?”Īl-Owal: “You barely defeated Malcolm Merlyn and it almost cost you your life. Oliver: “Who are you?” Assassin: “Just a warrior, like you.”įelicity ( Emily Bett Rickards) to Sara: “I was happy to hear you’re not dead anymore.”įelicity to Oliver: “Gee, I didn’t get you a bag of dirt…” You can bet that we'll see her again, and probably the leader of the League of Assassins as well.Ī little heavy handed with the canary landing on the driftwood by Sara, but the fact that we later learn she took her name from the Arabic word for 'canary' was kinda cool. It's a safe bet that Canary went off to search out Ra's al Ghul and see just what's so important about her returning to his side. took a back seat to Black Canary for the most part, this week, but all of the storylines felt fairly well and evenly advanced. Sara continues to be a badass (that a father can be proud of) as she kills Al-Owal and sends the remaining assassin back with a very clear message. The final battle in the bell tower was also fun since Sara laid a few traps Home Alone-style, and Quentin proved he's the worst marksman on the force (unless the bad guy is standing right in front of you). The unmasked fight in Queen's mansion was my favorite of the episode, but the steam-filled factory brouhaha was a nice introduction for the rest of the shadowy League members and to remind audiences that our heroes are very human and very vulnerable (as shown by Sara's nasty wound and scars). Sara learns that the other prisoners are vital to Ivo's work, and it appears that she's decided to help him as we see her treat Ollie as a prisoner at the episode's close.

Anthony Ivo ( Dylan Neal), a name which DC fans will know as spoiler: a supervillain with genius-level intellect and longevity provided by a chemical concoction. As he locked Sara safely inside his mad scientist's lab (complete with molecular models and jars of who-knows-what chemicals), he revealed himself to be Dr. Once there, she was imprisoned and treated rather roughly by the crew, until a mysterious handsome stranger came to her aid. Unlike Ollie, she didn't make it to the island, but was 'rescued' by sailors aboard the freighter ship, Amazo (a nod to another DC villain or perhaps just a fun fan Easter egg). Rather than experience these flashbacks through Oliver's experiences, we get to see what happened to Sara after she was pulled from the sinking ship by a violent storm. Let's take a trip back in time to revisit the ill-fated voyage of Oliver Queen ( Stephen Amell) and Sara Lance ( Caity Lotz) aboard the Queen's Gambit.
