Queen goes to pick up a rabbit Yao has killed and is grabbed by three armed men in masks and stuck in a cell in the ground. In present day we see Queen arrested. Through voiceover, he is confident that he has a way out of this mess. Lance interrogates Queen. Queen assures him he's not a vigilante and has an excuse for being caught on video going into the bag with the hood. Moira and Walter show up and tells Lance the interrogation is over until their attorney arrives. Queen wants Laurel to represent him. Moira tells Laurel that Queen has requested her and won't accept representation if it isn't her. Laurel doesn't think it's a good idea. Queen shows up at his arraignment without counsel. The judge advises against it. But once the subject of bail comes up Laurel enters the courtroom and helps him get home confinement. It's clear Laurel doesn't think Queen could be Arrow. Queen has a tracking bracelet put on his ankle. He also wants to host a party at the house to prove he's okay with what's happening. Laurel argues with her father over going after Queen. He references Sarah and Laurel says Queen isn't to blame. Queen tells Diggle that what happened with the video was intentional. Queen tells Diggle about Leo Mueller, a German arms dealer who has arrived in town with military-grade hardware. He wants Diggle to track Mueller and figure out where the buy is happening. Diggle has access to Queen's Arrow hideout. He picks out some toys for his mission. Walter meets with Josiah Hudson, the head of Queen Consolidated's security, and tells him off the record that he has an assignment for him. He explains that he found the remains of Robert's yacht and wants Josiah to move them to a secure location. When Josiah wonders what's going on, Walter admits that he doesn't know yet. The prosecutor tells Laurel and Queen she'll consider a plea of insanity provided he agrees to spend time in an asylum. Queen wants no part of it and says he'll take a polygraph in front of Lance. Queen tells Laurel if he fails the polygraph he'll consider the deal. Another flashback to the island: the mercenaries take Queen to their commander, a man named Edward Fyers. Queen tells him he'll be well compensated should he be rescued. Fyers shows Queen a picture of Yao wearing a military uniform and asks if he knows him. Queen lies and says no and Fyers picks up on it. Fyers summons his masked enforcer, Slade, and tells Queen that he will suffer for not cooperating. Thea tells Queen she's worried about how he's been acting since he returned from the island. He assures her isn't the Arrow person. Moira meets with the well-dressed man. He's concerned about the investigation into Queen. During the polygraph Oliver flashes back to his interrogation on the island. He passes with flying colors and we see him being tortured by Slade.

Lance still isn't going to drop the charges. During his party Queen tells Diggle he wants him to dress up as Arrow and stop the arms deal. Diggle doesn't like the fact he was lied to but agrees to do it. Walter is told the Hudson was killed in a car accident. Laurel apologizes to Queen for how Lance acted. She tells him that after her sister died Lance threw himself into his work and her mother ended up leaving. She says she used to hate him, but is now starting to think about what happened to Queen on the island. She wants to see the scars. He shows them to her and she is stunned. He says he survived because there was something he wanted more than death. They start to kiss but then Laurel pulls away and runs out. Queen flashes back to the island. Fyers begins to suspect that Queen does not have the information he wants, and orders Slade to kill him, but Yao breaks in and knocks Fyers out. Slade attacks him, resulting in furious martial arts duel. The two seem to be evenly matched, but Yao manages to incapacitate Slade long enough to escape with Queen..

While he's on the phone, a man posing as a butler tries to kill him, and the tracking bracelet is broken in the ensuing scuffle. Lance comes in and shoots the attacker. Lance tells the family he's not sure who attacked Queen. He then takes off the ankle monitor because the vigilante was spotted across town. Queen thanks Lance.

It turns out there was a slight flutter on an answer she knows he lied about. Queen says if she knew what happened to him on the island she would look at him differently.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2319602/synopsis We open with a little bit of the end of last week, as Arrow makes Diggs an antidote for the poison from Dead Shot. For some reason Diggs decides he should take a swing at Queen. Arrow explains he wants him to join his mission, saying his background as a soldier is perfect. Diggs doesn't seem interested and calls him a criminal and a murderer. Queen comes home to Laurel waiting on him. She says his family doesn't deserve the selfishness of him keeping his family in the dark after he was shot at. Queen mentions to Laurel that she's the second friend to rip him a new one that night Queen dreams about the island and trying to communicate with the arrow-wielding gentleman who appears to speak only Chinese.

If he helps him, Diggs will have the chance to help other people's families. Moira tells Walter she thinks the missing money was invested in a friend's start-up a few years back. She'll talk to accounting and have it cleaned up. Walter doesn't look convinced. Laurel tells Joanna who suggested she look into Declan. Laurel meets with Arrow. She tells him about the supervisor, a man named Istook, contradicting Camille's story. Arrow tells her that Istook "hasn't been questioned by me." He says he's hiding his face to protect the people he cares about. Walter asks IT wiz Felicity to discretely look into the disappeared $2.6 million. Arrow pays Istook a visit. After chaining him to some train tracks Istook says he'll give him a file on Brodeur that will help Declan. Another flashback to Queen on the island. He's hungry and the man hints that to eat he'll need to kill a bird. Arrow drops off the file to Laurel. She says the city needs somebody like him. Queen comes home and Thea points out he had a huge grin. He says it's because he's been showing his true self to Laurel. Lance doesn't like the fact Laurel has been working with Arrow. She points out she wouldn't have to be breaking the law if the police had done their job correctly in the first place. He's not happy. Laurel shows a judge the file and asks for a stay of the execution. The judge doesn't agree. Brodeur's lawyer Garrett comes in during the conversation and Laurel promises Brodeur she'll come after him. Brodeur's associates point out to their boss that Laurel will be meeting with Declan at his prison. They have friends in the prison and hint that something bad will happen during the meeting.
