10. Blood Debts

Complete story — includes the ending

While Felicity undergoes multiple surgeries, Oliver and the team continue searching for Darhk. Oliver turns to Quentin for information on Darhk's whereabouts while John interrogates his brother Andy. They track down Darhk's hideout, but only find several dead Ghost soldiers and an anarchy symbol, deducing that Machin is back and out for revenge against Darhk. Machin is caught and Oliver interrogates him right before freeing him to go after Darhk, tracking him in the process. Andy locates Darhk's family house, where Machin is also headed; the group arrives and saves Darhk's family, but Machin escapes. Darhk grants Oliver time to spend with his own family before Darhk resumes trying to kill him. Meanwhile, Felicity is left paralyzed from being shot. John mends his relationship with Andy. Darhk's wife, Ruvé Adams, is revealed to be his accomplice and H.I.V.E.'s plan is shown to be about destroying the world and rebuilding it. In flashbacks, Conklin presents his proof to Reiter, who allows Conklin to whip Oliver as punishment until Reiter notices the spell on Oliver's abdomen. In exchange for Taiana's safety, Oliver agrees to help Reiter.
