This episode was actually pretty good, cheesy romantic drama aside. (Did the show forget that Laurel is supposed to be dating Tommy? Because I haven't seen them together since they decided they should actually be a couple.)
So Oliver planned everything out ahead of time. Okay. We also get more answers about what happened to Oliver on the island and the source of his PTSD. Cool. And Moira has suddenly become a far more complicated character than we thought. Because of a previous episode, I thought she intentionally had her husband and son killed off, but now it seems as though that wasn't her decision; rather, she's working for someone else. But the questions remain: Who is she working for? Why did they need to sabotage the yacht? Was Moira down with this, and why? And we still don't know why the yacht's been salvaged.
I didn't like the fact that Laurel's mom is revealed to have run away after Laurel's sister's death.(Her mom is supposed to be the original Black Canary sobsob)
Aside from Moira and Laurel, female characters didn't really have any major roles in this episode.
