An Innocent Man

Overview: Oliver still hasn’t figured out how to get back in Laurel’s good graces, but a late night bonding session with Thea gives him the inspiration he needs. Looking into a suspicious murder case, Oliver realizes an innocent man, Peter Declan, was framed by one of the targets on his list. As Arrow, he asks Laurel to help prove Declan’s innocence. Meanwhile, Walter asks one of his employees, Felicity Smoak, to look into a $2.6 million withdrawal that Moira made without his knowledge.

Things are starting to get interesting for Arrow.  We get snippets of his time on the island that I think are suppose to tie into why he is the way he is back in civilization.  We get a sub plot of a bunch of money that was used by Oliver’s mother but not explained.  We also get Oliver trying to undo damage he did in the past and undo damage being done now.  For a show that you would not expect to be all that complex this show does find a way to weave a bit of complexity into it.

Overall, I enjoyed he episode.  They have found clever ways to leave almost every episode on a cliff hanger to make it painful to wait for the next episode to come out.
