When it ended, it didnt feel like we were heading toward the series finale.
Nevertheless, I still had a lot of fun watching it.
Starting the hour with Laurel was a great decision; this is very much Katie Cassidys hour.

It seemed as though Cassidy was having the time of her life throughout the whole episode.
After the cold open, the pilot introduces us to this new Star City.
It turns out Star City has been crime-free for 20 years.
That fact is repeated several times in the dialogue; however, its also conveyed visually.
Instead, every location looks and feels new and shiny.
Laurel heads to a bar called the Fishnet where she finds present-day Dinah playing a piano and singing.
How is Biancas death connected to Star Citys future?
With Dinah on board, its time to get their Green Arrow: Mia Queen.
Except this Mia is completely different than the one weve known for the past season and a half.
Not only that but Zoe is alive and Mia is engaged to JJ, who never became Deathstroke.
All in all, it seems as though Olivers sacrifice gave Mia the perfect life.
Of course, Laurel doesnt care and is focused on the mission at hand.
Even though Mia enjoyed not being a hero, she agrees to help the Canaries find Bianca.
Unfortunately, someone in a Deathstroke mask shows up and attacks them.
With the arrival of Deathstroke, Laurel immediately assumes JJ is the one behind Biancas kidnapping.
Even though Mia refuses to believe that, she still goes along with their plan to investigate him.
So, he basically breaks things off because hes tired of being kept at an arms distance.
Meanwhile, Dinah and Laurel work on finding Biancas location, which leads to them having a heart-to-heart.
Theres a warmth between them.
So the trio suits up and heads out to save Bianca.
But before his death, Mia noticed he had a familiar tattoo on his wrist.
Right as she has that epiphany, a bunch of masked men knock her out and kidnap William.
Overall, I really enjoyed this episode.
As I said above, it set up many interesting mysteries.
Im very intrigued by what this tattoo means and what will happen now that JJs memories are back.
I really hope The CW orders this show because I want those answers.
