Arrow 2X20: Seeing Red (Patreon)

OMG. What was this episode?! And I mean that in the most positive way possible!

Roy is just losing his mind from the Mirakuru. He's gone on a complete rampage. Sara has decided she needs to shoot him in the head. Oliver tells her no. When the time comes, Sin gets between Sara and shot and Oliver manages to shoot him with pit viper venom to sedate him.

Sara, upset that she was willing to kill Roy, leaves Oliver and says she's going to see an old friend. I hope it's not Malcolm.

We find out that Moira has known Oliver is the Arrow since last year. I'm sorry, what? If that's true, I think she should have been a little easier on him. But either way, they are in a good place now.

While they are leaving Moira's campaign rally, their limo gets hit and they all wake up being hostage by Slade. He recreates the moment and tells Oliver he has to choose between saving his mother and his sister. Oliver refuses. Moira decides to sacrifice herself to save Thea. And Slade, after it looks like maybe he'll spare her, calls her brave (unlike Oliver) and fucking kills her.

Also, in flashbacks, we find out that 7 years ago, Oliver got a girl pregnant and Moira gave her two million dollars to tell Oliver she lost the baby and then move away. So Oliver's got a 7 year old running around somewhere? Is it someone we know? Is it possible that Sara knows about this and maybe that's where she went? (Don't tell me.)

Ahhhh! There are so many questions! The end of this season is shaping up to be incredible.
