Just when I thought Arrow couldn't get any better, it's turned into Prison Break... well, on a very small scale. I was half-expecting Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell to come in with the assist.

At first, I found the reveal annoying... but as the episode continues, it soon becomes rather fitting that Oliver would run into his former mentor right as his identity is in under attack.

The Demon was another complicated juggling act for Arrow leading to an episode that was largely uneventful.

Somehow exceeded expectations, furthering the important storylines while providing us with some closure for the old ones. Throw in some genuinely shocking moments, and you have what was undoubtedly the season's best episode yet.

With Talia and Oliver teaming up to find information about Dr. Parker, the Slabside arc is elevated to a new level.

"The Demon" has incredible fight scenes, a great hero moment for Oliver, and some solid sound design, but the ladies coming together despite their deep, deep differences was the episode's shining star.
