History Recap / ArrowS3E18PublicEnemy

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Implied when Thea tells Roy post-coitus that she was the biggest idiot in the world to break up with him.

* TakingTheHeat: Ray for Oliver.

** Quentin asks Oliver about being with Sara in Lian Yu.

* ModestyBedsheet: Roy and Thea after doing their thing.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Implied when Thea tells Ray post-coitus that she was the biggest idiot in the world to break up with him.

* ItsTheOnlyWay: Ray has a blood clot that could kill him, and experimental nanites that could cure him, but the [[RealityEnsues hospital refuses to use an untested treatment.]] So Felicity has to inject him knowing she could kill him and be criminally charged for doing so.

* TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw: The city has been overrun by criminals for years, including one time letting two separate criminals (the Mayor and Brick) take over the Glades. Arrow essentially helped clean up most of it in the small time he has been active. Despite it obvious he is being framed, '''NOW''' the cops know how to do a manhunt.

* {{Irony}}: Lance blames Oliver for somehow causing the appearance of masks in Starling City and metahumans in Central City, in an episode airing the day after [[Recap/TheFlash2014S1E17Tricksters the episode]] of ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'' that revealed a masked, costumed terrorist (the Trickster) had been operating 25 years before and that fifteen years before the Reverse-Flash had killed Nora Allen, as well as several others to establish his secret identity.

* DownerEnding: Quentin and Team Arrow's benevolent relationship ends. SCPD hunts down Oliver, who was exposed as The Arrow. Roy, who is still guilty for killing a cop late last season, turns himself in ''as'' "[[IAmSpartacus The Arrow]]" so Oliver will be acquitted.

* OnlyAFleshWound: Ray shoots a police officer in the leg while fleeing, but this only brings back his guilt about killing a policeman. Captain Lance is understandably furious regardless.

* SecretKeeper: Even though a warrant has been issued for the Arrow's associates, Captain Lance is still hiding the fact that his daughter is the Black Canary. Presumably this is why he never goes after Roy Harper or Felicity Smoak as well. In the end Laurel does an immunity deal for them (and Diggle) in exchange for Oliver Queen surrendering.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Lance gives a pretty harsh one to Oliver in the back of the police van taking him to Iron Heights. He's turned people he claimd to love into criminals to aid his crusade, he's brought misery and pain to the city he wants to save, and he's failed to save many including Detective Hilton, Tommy Merlyn and his own mother.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Lance gives a pretty harsh one to Oliver in the back of the police van taking him to Iron Heights. He's turned people he claimd to love into criminals to aid his crusade, he's brought misery and pain to the city he wants to save, and he's failed to save many including Tommy and his own mother.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Lance pursues Oliver with a shoot to kill order, irrationally blaming him for Sara's death. His TheReasonYouSuckSpeech at the end is a particular KickTheDog moment as he even rubs Tommy and his mother's death in his face.

* EnemyMine: Oliver tries to get Nyssa's help, given that it's not in her interest for him to become the Demon's Head when it's her right. She refuses at first, but agrees because stopping the killing is what Sara wanted. However Ra's turns out to be waiting for them anyway along with a police ambush, raising the question of whether Team Arrow was just LuredIntoATrap all along.

* ChangedMyMindKid: Played with; although refusing to help Team Arrow earlier, Nyssa still turns up to stop Quentin arresting Laurel when he catches her on the scene as the Black Canary.

* CatScare: Felicity has a brief OhCrap when after she injects Ray with the nanites, he suddenly convulses and flatlines before making a miraculous recovery.

* ItsALongStory: Oliver explaining to Mei why're they're being perused and have to get off the streets.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Lance gives a pretty harsh one to Oliver as he points out all the damage he's caused and the people he failed to save.

* DownerEnding: Quentin and team Arrow's benevolent relationship got strained. SCPD hunts down Oliver, who was exposed as The Arrow. Roy, who is still guilty for killing a cop late last season, turns himself in ''as'' "[[IAmSpartacus The Arrow]]" so Oliver will be acquitted.

* BigDamnHeroes: Maseo and Tatsu save Oliver, their son and Mei from A.R.G.U.S. {{Mook}}s in the flashback.

* TheCavalry: Just as Flashback!Oliver is about to be shot, Maseo and Tatsu make a DynamicEntry and quickly dispatch his attackers.

* SecretKeeper: Even though a warrant has been issued for the Arrow's associates, Captain Lance is still hiding the fact that his daughter is the Black Canary. Presumably this is why he never goes after Roy Harper or Felicity Smoak as well.
