* JerkassHasAPoint: Downplayed; Yorke's comment about the SuperheroParadox isn't totally accurate, but he's not completely ''wrong'', either. Deathstroke, Prometheus, and Cayden James all enacted destructive campaigns against Star City for the express purpose of taking revenge on Oliver, and while Ra's al Ghul was already active, his main interest in Star City was born from a desire to have Oliver become his successor.

He's also right about Oliver being a rich, entitled man who decided the law didn't apply to him.

* SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat: Felicity demands to be let in on the ARGUS operation despite being a civilian, claiming that no one knows more about the Longbow Hunters than she does. This is in spite of the fact [[InformedAttribute no one on the show, included Felicity, has mentioned the Longbow Hunters before]] and as of yet she's not been shown to have any hidden history with them the way Oliver often has a hidden history with the villains.

Added DiffLines:

* TrainEscape: Type 3; to keep Diaz and the Longbow Hunters from getting the weapon, Diggle orders Felicity to remotely unhook the wagons they are in. When she can't bring herself to do it since that would mean Diaz escapes again, Curtis does it for her.

* SuperheroParadox: One of the reasons Yorke hates Oliver is because he thinks that his presence as the Green Arrow brought that many criminals into Star City to begin with. His logic is somewhat shaky; the city was a WretchedHive long before Oliver began his war on crime (in fact, Merlyn's plan to level the Glades was a result of the city's criminal element), and a lot of the positive change over the years was a result of Oliver removing corrupt officials and criminals from the city one way or another.

* {{Jerkass}}: The guard, York.Yorke. He has a special dislike of Oliver because he reminds him of the spoiled, entitled rich kids he grew up with.
