Laurel Lance takes Sara's body to the team. Quentin alerts Oliver to another archer in the city killing people, unaware of Sara's death. Oliver follows a lead and is able to identify the archer as Simon Lacroix. The group learns of Lacroix's next target and intercepts him. Laurel arrives, determined to avenge Sara's death. As Oliver attempts to dissuade her, Lacroix confirms that he was not in Starling City at the time of Sara's murder. The team buries Sara and Laurel chooses not to tell Quentin what happened. Diggle returns to field duty again. Meanwhile, Roy reveals to Oliver that Thea left town when she learned he was working with the Arrow. In Corto Maltese, Thea is shown with Malcolm Merlyn and has proven to be capable of defeating more than one henchman in combat. Felicity decides to work for Ray. In flashbacks, Oliver is tasked with killing Tommy Merlyn after he comes to Hong Kong, hoping to track Oliver through activity he saw on Oliver's email account. To save Tommy, Oliver pretends to kidnap him and tricks him into thinking the emails were a ruse to hold him for ransom. Maseo, posing as a police officer, then rescues Tommy.
