It ultimately proves to be an EvasiveFightThreadEpisode.

* ImplacableMan: Barry himself while under the effects of Bivolo's powers; while Ollie is eventually able to restrain him, their fight is almost completely one-sided as everything Oliver throws at him is shrugged off, leading to an almost CurbStompBattle (which isn't surprising given the big difference in their power level).
** To be fair, the Arrow used to be considered a threat by Starling City and it took a very long time to earn their trust. While they are on relatively good terms now, it's still not an amiable relationship. On the other hand for the Flash, he's a very new threat with superpowers that nobody has ever seen before.
