Arrow 2.09

Three Ghosts

- Barry saves Ollie's life by injecting him with Rat Poison (aka Warfarin) which has the side effect of causing him to hallucinate
- his first hallucination is of Shado, who is revealed to have been killed on the island, later in the episode; he experiences this one when he is at home after helping Roy who he shot with an arrow in the previous episode
- the death of Shado was a bit sudden, I thought she would be in the show for a bit longer, possibly until the end of the season; her death does serve the purpose of creating a rift between Ollie and Slade
- the second hallucination is of Slade, who was seemingly dead at the end of the previous episode (on the island) but is very much alive both in flashbacks in the island and in the present; Ollie has a fight with his hallucination of Slade in his secret lair
- in a flashback it is clearly shown that Slade now has super strength as he breaks a gun in half and rips a man's heart out (one of Ivo's henchmen) with his bare hands
- the third hallucination is of Tommy
- although they teased it, Barry does not become Flash in this episode but it does end with the accident that gave him his superpowers; I thought he already had the superpowers based on a story he told in the previous episode
- still not crazy about Sebastian Blood or the mask he wears
- happy to see Slade Wilson in the present
- it looks like Roy is going to develop superpowers

- on the whole a very good episode which kept me on the edge of my seat as I was eager to see how it would unfold; possibly it deserves a better rating than very good, compared to most other episodes of Arrow I would say it is well above average
