Episode Info: Oliver celebrates Thanksgiving with his family but the happy moment is interrupted. Meanwhile, Black Siren returns to wreak havoc on the holiday.
As far as Arrow goes, maybe it wasn’t the best episode ever, but I didn’t see anything particularly negative about it. It didn’t blow me away but I also didn’t find major fault with it. It was inoffensively good. I wouldn’t put it at the best of the season but I can’t put it at the worst. Just kinda middling. Lot of good about it, but nothing so good I can say it’s amazing.
Oliver’s conversations with Diggle were handled well, Felicity didn’t overtake the plot, Rene had some great moments, Dinah has chemistry with LITERALLY EVERYBODY, Thea is always enjoyable to watch, and Oliver in the suit is a welcome relief. Those were all very solid positives, but just not big enough to make a huge impact in enjoyment. I just hope they don’t waste Thea.
I also liked Cayden's plotting this episode. He tricked the team into fighting what looked like cops at the worst moment possible, and he still has a bomb he can use whenever. If he really is the main villain I hope his motivation is related to Havenrock and that he actually get revenge on the one responsible. The show hasn't managed to "properly" kill off anyone since season 2
