So, how didArrowsend Thea off into the sunset?
Well, quite frankly, in a very weird way: by resurrecting the League of Assassins.
Sorry, I mean, the Thanatos Guild.

As we learned in tonights episode, Malcolm Merlyn formed an offshoot of the League after Nyssa ended it.
Obviously, thats not what happens.
Nyssa arrives in Star City in time to save Thea and Roy from being attacked by the Guild.
Thats the last thing Thea wants to do.
Thus, Thea must help Nyssa find this map before Athena gets her hands on it.
Its all very silly, but thats always been the case withArrows conception of the League of Assassins.
Are they eco-terrorists obsessed with saving the Earth from humanity?
Do they play a role in the rise and fall of empires?
I honestly dont know!
(I died when Nyssa referred to Felicity as her sister wife.)
I understand what they were trying to do.
I think this couldve worked a bit better if the show had prepared us for this storytelling turn.
Eventually, Athena takes the city hostage unless Thea hands over the map.
In Theas sword fight with Athena, they discover that Theas blood reveals the hidden map on the parchment.
Theas reasoning is that this might help her find the best version of herself.
(Remember, Thea has always shown an entrepreneurial streak, too.)
But what her actual ending gives us is more story to tell with Thea.
Itll be interesting to see howArrowmoves forward without Holland.
Ill miss the tenderness and real talk-ness of Oliver and Theas relationship going forward.
But that wasnt the only major revelation.
