** Emiko getting shot at the beginning. If you are only using a bow and arrow against people with guns, no matter how well you are trained, you're bound to get hit by a bullet eventually.

*** Additionally, the police aren't too happy for the Green Arrow directly working for the police department. Some would still view him as a criminal with a questionable history of breaking the law.

Good Adultery Bad Adultery requires two affairs that are portrayed sympathetically. This does not say whether either was presented as good or bad


* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Moira was so angry at Robert's affair that she sabotaged his posthumous efforts to provide for his other family. Apparently, she saw nothing wrong with her own affair with Malcolm Merlyn, which resulted in Thea. Also counts as MoralMyopia here.

* PragmaticAdaptation: In the comics, Emiko was the daughter of Robert Queen and Shado, who was raised by the villanous archer Simon Lacroix AKA Komodo. The show has significantly altered her backstory, given that there's no way that Robert and Shado could have even met in this continuity, let alone conceived a child together. Also, Komodo in this continuity was a one-off villain in Season 3 who bore little resemblance to his comic-book counterpart. Instead, Shado's mother is an original character named Kazumi, who raised her.

* InternalHomage: Emiko in this episode mirrors Oliver Queen from Season 1 in many ways. We hear her make a PrivateEyeMonologue about her mission, much like Oliver did in the earliest episodes of the series. She even says "My Name is Emiko Queen", similar to Oliver's iconic "My Name is Oliver Queen". Her lair, in the basement of an abandoned building in the Glades, is reminiscent of Oliver's original lair under the abandoned factory. And her reaching out to Rene for help after getting shot is more than a little similar to the circumstances in which Oliver recruited Felicity into the team.


Added DiffLines:

** In the future, Rene is the mayor of the Glades who wants to uphold the law and is opposed to vigilantes, while Dinah is a vigilante. This is an inversion of their positions in the present-day narrative this season, where Rene is the one who wants to continue playing vigilante, while Dinah is the SCPD Captain who wants to uphold the law and opposes vigilantism.

* WritingAroundTrademarks: Since the Arrowverse TV shows aren't allowed to use the name 'Suicide Squad', the program has been brought back under the new name 'Ghost Initiative'.
