Synopsis:

GUEST STAR SETH GABLE ("FRINGE") RETURNS AS THE COUNT - When a young woman meets a violent death after partying at Verdant, Detective Lance (Paul Blackthorne) and his new partner, Detective Hilton (guest star Roger Cross) inform Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Tommy (Colin Donnell) that she was on the drug Vertigo. Oliver immediately pays a visit to the mental institution where The Count (guest star Gabel) is locked up, but finds he is in no condition to deal drugs. However, when The Count escapes and Starling City is flooded with even more Vertigo-related violence, Oliver and Diggle (David Ramsey) make it their mission to track him down. After Detective Lance uncovers incriminating evidence against him, Tommy goes to great lengths to clear his name, and the fallout from his actions leads Tommy down a new, unexpected path. In a flashback to the island, Oliver recalls the lessons he learned from Slade (guest star Manu Bennett) and Shado (guest star Celina Jade). Katie Cassidy and Emily Bett Rickards also star. Michael Offer directed the episode written by Bryan Q. Miller & Lindsey Allen (#119).

much better episode than last week.

JeffTheAlpaca

Agree and now Tommys character should be a lot more interesting and I can see Laurel and Oliver getting back together.

Maybe it is just me but I prefer they throw away his back story on the island and I always tune out whenever they do those island flashback scenes and hope next season they ditch them.

Superman07

Crazy! Island parts are some of the best elements of the show.

I actually didn't care for this ep too much. Chick on island was better than I was expecting.

Didn't quite follow the Tommy plot. He did skim $10k to bribe somebody off; just unrelated to the drugs?

Gooter

Agreed! I love the island flashbacks. Heck, they could just make the show about the island and it would be cool.

Yes, the bribe was unrelated to the drugs. It was to get the building to pass inspection quicker. Though, it seemed to alude that it was to not have the inspector 'inspect' Arrow's secret lair but then Arrow would have known about the bribe because Tommy was not in on the secret yet.

I am in the minority and have found every episode fantastic.

My only complaint is I wish Tommy was a little more of Oliver's physical equal.

Tommy finally got balls Liked this episode.

Draven

The triple arrow shot was fantastic.
