Alas, he picks a complicated day to let them in.

He first tells Diggle, who wants to know why Oliver is so anxious to find her.

Chimera manages to escape, but Oliver, Diggle, and the SCPD recover a badly injured Emiko.

Unsurprisingly, Emiko flees the hospital and returns to her lair.

She explains that she kept it from him because she didnt want it to ruin their thing.

Of course, Oliver is worried about that.

Luckily, Diggle has an idea: Recruit Team Arrow to help out.

So Team Arrow (minus Dinah) suits up and is ready for Chimeras inevitable attack.

And thank God they were there because Oliver had a surprisingly hard time on his own.
