I think we should... clear the air. Um... I wanted to thank you for helping me save Ray and for being so understanding in the midst of my mini– Gargantuan freak-out.
Taking down Darhk is more important, especially now that we know he has Andy under his thumb.
Felicity
First, there is a whole long list of things that we don't know about Andy. Second, you didn't decide to run for Mayor to take down Darhk. You did it to give the city something the Green Arrow can't give them– hope. Inspiration. Don't lose sight of that, not even for John.
I've been catching up on the past six months. My company, my city, my life. And I feel like Tom Sawyer watching his own funeral, except in my case nobody really cares.
I think Damien Darhk has someone operating in Central City, so I sent Barry to run down a lead.
Felicity
This kind of lead? [shows him the DNA results revealing he has a son] He didn't know what he was giving me. But I've run enough tests on your blood to recognize your DNA sequence anywhere.
God, Oliver, you are the only person on this planet who considers the truth "complicated." Just to be clear, I don't care that you have a child. I can't believe that you have a child that you didn't tell me about. I care that you lied to me just now.
If you loved me, if you trusted me, telling me this wouldn't be such a burden. It would be a relief. But you don't trust me. You never will. And how can I be with someone who doesn't trust me? [walks away]
Inasmuch as that he's the reason that Laurel and Thea showed up on our doorstep 3 months ago. Right before you were going to propose. Before you say anything you should know that my mom found the ring in the decorations box.
I had to turn myself in. It was the only way to know where you were being held.
Felicity
One little problem , two if you think that Darhk is gonna keep up his end of the bargain. But what happens when the cavalry shows up and the Green Arrow is not present. Darhk is evil, not stupid.
I have that handled, Felicity. It had to be this way.
Felicity
Why? Because you think we're in this situation because of your decisions? Look, I really hate to be the one to break this to you, Oliver, but you are not the boss of me. And I'm the one who decides if I need anyone's protection.
Back at the Christmas party from hell, you said you were going to propose and you didn't because you said you weren't sure our relationship could survive this kind of life.
And here we are, fighting, Fighting our way through the danger instead of running away from it. Isn't that the whole point of marriage? To get through the hard times because we are together, not in spite of it?
Thank you everyone. This week, an event just like was interrupted by terrorists. But all of us are here tonight to send those people a very simple message. We're not gonna let the darkness win. So all of us are here to light a candle together. United. [lights the Christmas tree] This right there is possible because of all of you. And I am grateful for each one of you. There is one person in particular that I am grateful for. [looks at Felicity] You. Someone who has stood beside me when times were darkest. She's the one who lights my way. [gets down on one knee] Felicity Smoak... would you make me... the happiest man on the face of the Earth? Yes?
Well... I just... I can't help but think that the reason Darhk is winning is because I haven't been willing to go far enough. And that if I was, if I had, maybe you wouldn't be in here right now. And I don't know what the point of what I'm doing as Green Arrow is if I can't protect the people that are closest to me.
Felicity
Well, what's the point of doing it if you lose yourself in the process?
Felicity... [takes out engagement ring from his pocket] the nurse took this off of you in the ER. How dare she? [he puts it back on her finger] For better or for worse.
It's the fault of only one man and he has an extremely on-the-nose and alliterative name. And we're going to stop him, not out of guilt or vengeance, or regret. We are going to stop him because it's what we do. That's who we are.
That I should have done a better job keeping an eye on her. She told me the blood-lust came back two months ago and I didn't even know. I've been focused on the campaign, and I've been running back and forth to Central City, and I...
Felicity
How is it that you always manage to blame yourself for everything?
You should have told me. Marriage is about inclusion. It's about leaning on your partner when things get complicated. But I don't think you know how to do that.
