Before that moment arrives, though,Arrowhas to move a few more pieces into place.
Last weeks great time loop episodesaw Oliver finally accept that he couldnt fight his fate in Crisis.
The Monitor needs them to harness said energy for the weapon.

Like I said, the script doesnt bother explaining what this energy is.
Thankfully, the script also has both Laurel and Yao Fei point out how stupid hes being.
Both of them view him as Ollie first and the Green Arrow second for different reasons.
But Oliver isnt the only one avoiding what needs to be said or done.
Of course, shes really just afraid to say bye to him since they just met.
Thankfully, William is there to talk some sense into her.
Meanwhile, Diggle is also struggling.
This is a guy who killed his own brother to protect his wife and pre-Flashpoint daughter.
Theres nothing he wont do for his family and those he fights with.
Perhaps thats because we still have three more episodes left in the season and some crossover episodes, too.
Yes, the end is near, but it doesnt feelthatnear.
