Curtis, Dinah and Rene don't deserve to be a part of the Arrow team. They're a bunch of self-righteous, grudge holding babies.
I'd love it if the OG Arrow team managed to kick Cayden's & Co. asses on their own. It'd be so satisfying. I'm really hoping it goes down like that, even though I'm certain it won't. At the end we're gonna get a crappy "team work makes the dream work" deal, and I'm already dreading it.
Lol these noobies can betray all they like and talk about trust, hope they get rekt later
Oh well. I don't really care
Good episode. And is half the team going on their own spin off or what’s going on? So many mentions of the Huntress. Miss her.

Well, well, well. The episode was so much better than I expected despite the teams stupid split-up and not having the menacing character I thought we would've had by now.
First things first, we got a Huntress mention! God, it's been like what, three years and they finally mentioned her. I'm looking forward to seeing her again.
At this point I expected the villains to be way more creepy, but I'm invested with having a group of villains. Since he was first introduced I was desperate to see Ollie and Richard Dragon in action, and we sort of did. I'm still not invested on him being a single thug.
I love the interactions between Cayden James and Black Siren. Seriously, every single time they talk to each other I laugh out loud. James' expressionless face along with his calmed voice contrast sharply with Laurel's willingness to kill everything that gets in her way. Lol.
I was so looking forward to seeing Rene, Dinah and Curtis founding their own team. There was a moment there when I thought that storyline was gonna end soon, but they getting their own lair means we've got team for a wee bit, until they eventually forgive themselves. However amazing and cool that new liar looks, I don't think it's a good idea to use Helix liar, especially when your number one enemy is Cayden James who so happens to have been the boss of that organization.
Moreover, I'm glad they calling Ollie, Felicity and Dig on all the bullshit and hypocrisy throughout the episode and not only once. Particularly, I loved when Rene said he was sick and tired of Felicity talking to him like he sold Ollie out on a whimp. Points for you Rene.
However, the whole pointing fingers towards one another was pointless (noun intended). Everyone lied in there so team newbies being so angry at team arrow makes no damn sense. They're pissed because they spied on them but at the same time they lied and sold Ollie to Agent Watson. Like I said, I'm glad team newbies is born but the grounds are unbelievably stupid.
I loved Dinah's stakeout story. It seemed much more interesting than season 4. And last episode I thought Dinah would go to the dark side because of Vince. I love seeing her coping with loving and hating Vince at the same time. Juliana sells it very well.
Talking about Vigilante. Last episode I didn't get why the hell would he work with criminals when his job is basically getting rid of them. Like I said, no damn sense. But then in this episode he says "Vigilantes are criminals". Well, seems like he's gotta shot himself, then. Lol.
Rene and his daughter melt my heart. I'm glad he wants to recant and get rid of all the evidence incriminating him so as not to testify against Oliver. Btw, he keeps on having the best lines: "It figures he'd go after the most handsome and charming?" Rene is the best thing ever.
Since Thea recovered from her comma it seems as if she's just wandering on the set. But seems like she's finally abroad the "redemption for Black Siren" boat. Thea and Quentin relationship has had its ups and downs but now it's rock solid and I love seeing the two of them together.
I think the writers should take Bertinelli's advice and create a spotlight in the sky with a big arrow silhouette. That'll be fun.
