Shortly after he received that wise counsel, news broke that Oliver Queen was the Green Arrow.

Naturally, reporters bombard Oliver when he shows up at City Hall in the morning.
From her first scene, Noel does a good job of making Watson seem like a formidable adversary.
Clearly, this latest attack is personal.
Team Arrow storms a Bratva-owned restaurant in another beautifully executed action sequence told through a series of long takes.
Meanwhile in the dining room, Dinah witnesses Diggle hesitate to shoot once again, which rightfully concerns her.
But alas, their conversation is cut short because Oliver receives another call, this time from Anatoly.
Second, he wants to prove to his brothers that hes not weak.
Honestly, it was relief to learn that Anatoly wasnt solely motivated by revenge.
Money is a simple yet novel motivation for this show.
That being said, I do appreciate that the show is continuing to emphasize how much Oliver has grown.
Felicity manages to locate Anatoly once again, so Team Arrow goes in to take care of business.
With that settled, Oliver finally meets with Agent Watson without a lawyer because hes a cocky idiot.
But this development ends up only fueling Agent Watsons fire.
This may be one of the most mature decisions Oliver has made.
The same cant said of Diggle, who neglects to tell Oliver about his tremor.
