I can give advice, father to father. If she were my daughter, I'd put her down.
She's my baby girl.
No, she isn't. She may look like your daughter, but she doesn't possess her soul. The most loving act you can commit is to return Sara to her final rest. I'm sorry.
[comes home to find Oliver sitting there] You know I got a heart condition, right?
For years you've looked at me with contempt and utter disdain, so I'm wondering, do I have that look on my face now?
What the hell you talking about?
I'm talking about you... and Damien Darhk.
Okay, it's, it's–
I didn't know if you knew who he was, or what he's been doing to this city. And now I see this look on your face. You know.
It's complicated.
No, it's not. Do you have any idea how many people he's killed?
Yeah, I got more of an idea than you. And listen, you, you of all people, you don't get to come in to my house and pass judgement on me, all right?!
You always held yourself out as better than me. More righteous. And you were. Until tonight.
Actually, it's been a little more than 2 months now, me working with Darhk. It started out benign. He said he had resources, he had people, money. He held himself out as just another guy who wanted to help this city. And we needed the help. You weren't here. By the time I figured out who he was... what he was, that's when he threatened Laurel.
Laurel can take care of herself. You see what she does out there.
That's what I thought about Sara, too–
Stop, stop it! Stop hiding behind your daughters!
You don't know what I'm going through.
You know a funny thing? You were the main reason behind me running for Mayor! A part of me has always wanted you to see what kind of man I really am! I didn't expect to wind up finding out what kind of man you really are.
We're all desperate. We've been made to do desperate things. Terrible things. But I've gotta believe that we are not beyond redemption. I've gotta believe that this city can still be saved cause once we stop believing that's when this city really dies and us right along with it. Maybe, just maybe... We start saving our home by saving ourselves first.
Why didn't you come to me with this?
Come to you for what? Your expertise with magical resurrection? Or that judgmental look on your face?
For help finding your sister, Laurel, before she gets hurt, or she hurts anyone else. And If I have a judgmental look on my face right now, it's because you played with forces that you do not understand, and now people are dying because of it.
Laurel, come with me.
Is Thea okay?
No. Not only is Thea hospitalized, but she has Merlyn influencing her to kill people.
What are you talking about?
Oh, just another thing that happened on your secret trip to Nanda Parbat.
Hey! I didn't tell you that I took my sister to Nanda Parbat because I knew that you wouldn't approve. Why didn't you tell me that you took Thea?
What does that have to do with anything?!
It's the hypocrisy that I can't stand. What? It's okay for you to do whatever you have to for your sister, but it's not okay for me to do the same to mine?
Sara was dead. Thea wasn't.
Then why didn't you tell me about Thea seven months ago? Because you don't see me as an equal.
What? Oh, come on, Laurel, of course I see you as an equal.
No, you don't! You never have. You never told me that you were the Arrow–
Keep your voice down!
You never supported me becoming the Black Canary, and you never would have told me that there's a way to save my sister. My sister, she's out of her mind right now because of something that I did, a decision that I made. Did you ever just stop and think for one second about what I might be going through? I'm sorry about what happened to Thea. I really am. I love your family, I always have. I just wish that sometimes you would give a damn about mine.
You know, the hair on the back of my neck has been standing up since the moment I got into town.
That is probably our current problem - Damien Dhark. Ohh, you've heard of him.
You watch yourself on that one, mate. He'll make what you saw in the other realm look like a bloody gnat.
Any helpful advice?
Yeah. Leave town. While you still can.
I need you to punch me in the face.
Right. My, uh, escape attempt left a bruise, right? All right. I must warn you, I've got a hell of a right hook.
Laurel, you were right... I haven't always been the best friend for you but... I'd be grateful for the opportunity to try to start to be.
How can I say no to the man who helped me save my sister's soul?
You faced down mirakuru soldiers and the League of Assassins. Are you honestly telling me that you couldn't say "no" to my mom?
She said she missed you and then she texted me one of those emojis with the single tear.
Okay. Inviting your mother for a surprise visit wasn't the best idea.
Mmm.
I totally accept that. What I'm accepting, or understanding, is just you shutting me out.
I am not shutting you out. I'm trying to focus on finding Ray, but I can't do that with all of these distractions.
Distractions? What is going on with you? You're acting like it's my fault that Ray–
It's my fault! What's happening with Ray, to Ray, is my fault.
Felicity, it really isn't.
Ray was sending me distress calls for weeks after the accident. I wasn't here to receive them because I was too busy traveling the world with you. I took the police's word for it that no body could be recovered because I was so swept up in being with you. I'm sorry. It was my choice to uproot my entire life, leave my home and my job, which turns out I am very good at it. I lost myself in you. But I was never that girl, that girl who just loses herself in a guy. That is not who I am.
This isn't about Ray. It's about us.
No.... Yes.... I don't know.
Okay. I'm gonna give you some space until you figure it out. [walks out]
Do you know what I miss about our old space?
That trunk with the bottle of Russian Vodka in it? [goes to a desk drawer and retrieves a bottle and glasses] Vodka is for wimps anyway.
[laughing at that] "Vodka is for wimps".
Tennessee Whiskey. Put some hair on your chest.
He's wonderful... in a million different ways. But that's the problem, it's too easy to lose myself in him.
Baby, that's how it's supposed to feel. when you love someone. Believe it or not, he's lost himself in you. And you'll find yourself in each other. Just don't get in your own way. Don't ruin something that most people never get. Cause trust me, you'll never find a guy that hot who cooks.
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.
Well, I'm sorry that I'm not the best listener. But all of this, is just... it's kind of new to me.
And to me. I didn't exactly grow up with the best example of a normal, healthy relationship.
Line forms behind me. it's kind of amazing that we've made it this far.
We're gonna be fine.
How can you be so sure?
Because we found ourselves in each other.
Trust is an orchid. Beautiful but delicate. Requires ideal conditions in order to thrive. Without those conditions, it dies.
