In “ puff Back Your bowing , ” Arrow ’s most darling character gets so incredibly screwed over that the installment is almost a drollery . We ’ll take a flavour at the convoluted reasons why the psycho - of - the - week has a salutary probability at find lovemaking than she does .
Felicity Smoak is gorgeous , brilliant , funny , brave , and set her gist into everything she does . In return , she gets less physical tenderness than Ollie ’s motorcycle , as I ’m pretty certain he at least claim meter to get laid out the dents and shine up the chassis . This instalment gives us five clues as to why the proficient character on the show get the least amount of face - sucking .
1 ) People Are Busy
This show prevent people busy . And the busier they are , the more piece of work they make for themselves . For lesson , Cupid first became haunted with the Arrow when he saved her during the flack of the supersoldiers last year . In this episode , she shoots people and dresses them up in Arrow getup , she straps bombs to mobsters , and she talk with the relentlessly force amativeness of those girls on belated Nox commercials for phone sex lines .
She gets to wear dark red lipstick and say things like , “ If I ’m out of my mind , that ’s because that ’s what lovemaking is … our own little slice of insanity . So call 1 - 900 - spicy - living . ” Her business preserve the Arrow squad pretty busy figuring out who she is , intimidate her psychiatrist into breaking MD - patient role confidentiality , trying to track her down , and get progressively annoyed call from Quentin Lance .
Ray , meanwhile , is busy building a form of supersuit ( holler A.T.O.M. ) and desire to buy a mine to help him do it . He ’s also rebranding Queen Consolidated as Palmer Technologies . To be fair , some of what he ’s meddlesome with involve Felicity . He invites happiness out to a “ strictly platonic ” patronage dinner with the owner of the mine , gives her couture gowns , and hire 10 million dollar necklace for her , make for a stunning outfit that she wears with high-risk shoe oh I ’m sorry did that slip out ? Could n’t aid it . The point is , some of what Ray ’s busy with should be catch Felicity some dearest , so what else could be the problem ?
2 ) She ’s Got Too Much contest
I ’m not go to dwell , I like Cupid a lot . And compare to the noble-minded denial of the rest of the characters , her wild ranting sounds reasonable . I spent much of this episode view Ray get shirtless in front of felicitousness and give her smoldering looks at a insistence conference . Did he let his fingers brush her neck as he put the necklace on her ? You bet he did ! But it ’s strictly platonic ! It ’s a business sector dinner !
Meanwhile , Ollie spends the sequence compressing himself into a black hole of cult and inactive aggression , and judging by his expression , he compresses himself anus - first . He stamp around throwing hissyfits about how Felicity ask to give this case her full attention when , as far as I can tell , this is the least threatening of all the type they ’ve had this year . When Felicity aver she has to go out for one business dinner party he says , relatively nastily , “ Do what you want . ”
A lady who is up front about wanting passion from someone , even if her upfrontness comes in the form of knocking out chum and hanging gangster ? That ’s a jolly refreshing change for this show . Also , she ’s overbold . She dumbfound a cyber-terrorist to nail the Arrow ’s secret lair .
3 ) She ’s Too Good For Anyone
We get a great example of Felicity being the filling of the litter in this calendar week ’s episode . You eff the Very Important Dinner and the Very Important Case and how Felicity could n’t do both ? It ’s the classic superhero dilemma . You have to either give up your personal life or you demand to see people hurt because you lost stress . Except Felicity does them both . She lets the Arrow team recognize what Cupid is up to , in between course of study at the dinner party . Ollie lures Cupid away from the Arrowcave , and Felicity ’s done with dinner party by the time Ollie and Cupid have the big net confrontation . ( During which , by the way , Cupid ties Ollie to the railroad tracks ! That ’s the matter about Arrow . There is some exasperate hooey , but at least once an installment you require to osculate the sieve . )
Meanwhile , at dinner , she give a speech about how Ray is n’t a businessman , because he does n’t care about money . What he cares about is making the earth a better place , so wo n’t the dainty man please , please sell Ray his mine ? Of of course he will ! Because no one should be able to resist Felicity .
4 ) She ’s Surrounded By Idiots
Not help things , for a change , is Diggle . He ’s seek to get Ollie and Felicity together . That ’s o.k. when it involves telling Ollie that he need to admit how he feels to Felicity , but matter presently take a bend for the dark side . Digg goes to Felicity ’s office , and tells her that her being with Ray is “ mess with [ Ollie ’s ] foreland … and that ’s dangerous . ” In other words , if Felicity does n’t just hang around pin for a guy who has explicitly state her he wo n’t get involved with her , she might be responsible for for his injury or destruction . John Diggle , disgrace on you . I hope Lyla takes you over her knee .
Ollie , meanwhile , as he is tie to the train tracks and aware that Felicity is listening in , tells Cupid , “ I care matter could be dissimilar … I ca n’t be with you . I ca n’t be with anyone . I have to be alone . ” Oliver Queen , shame on you , too . Dumping two women at once , one of them over the phone , is the tackiest matter I ’ve ever seen , and I ’ve seen the wig you wear in your flashback sequences .
5 ) Timing !
This is the part that really hurts . Felicity has many o.k. caliber , but o.k. caliber do n’t always translate into successful relationships . There are a wad of expectant people who are unlucky in passion . But Felicity ’s not unlucky in love , just in melodramatic timing . She has two guys who both desire to be with her and somehow neither one works out . Ray , of class , after aver the dinner is platonic , plants one on her as he ’s taking off her necklace . ( That was a pretty slick move . Anyone think Ray Palmer first get his immediate payment by being a precious stone thief , buss ladies and choose their necklace ? )
Ollie , having re - consider his relationship with Felicity a - freaking - addition , total in to tell her he loves her , figure her kissing Ray , and quietly leaves . Then Ray reconsider , and also get gone , leaving happiness standing there , looking as befuddle and enrage as I was watching that .
That ’s intend , Arrow . That ’s mean . However , as Cupid is now a member of the Suicide Squad , I will forgive you if you have her and Deadshot become a couple .
Oh , and in other news show , Captain Boomerang designate up , Thea hire a cute DJ for her ball club , and , in the flashback , Ollie learned how to do wash . Real nail - biters for subplots this week .
