S04.E06: Lost Souls

[Menrva]

Anyone else think it's significant that once distracted, DD was unable to maintain his "spell" to hold Oliver captive? So DD's magic requires his concentration and that it's not like once he casts a spell, it's self-sustaining. Not sure if I'm making sense or if I'm reading too much into it.

 

I really can't add any more to the conversation. I liked the interactions between Oliver and Felicity, even when she was mean and cranky. Donna continues to be amazing and wonderful and she's a joy to watch. Oliver upside down on the line was awesome. More of that, please. 

 

Also, do you guys know that they make mini tater tots? Of course I had to try them out. Sad to say, they were rather unsatisfying. Much like RP himself.

Very dissapointing episode in my eyes, probably the worst of the season so far. First time i feel like some writers should be fired for this crap.

Oliver using the same tactic on Darhk (just plainly shooting an arrow at him) and then look surprised he blocks it with magic... again...
As if Oliver would make the same mistake twice but hey.. they are writing him braindead.

But my biggest dissapointment was that there was no closure on Sara --> Thea. Sara doesn't seem to care that Thea killed her, she clearly saw Thea's face before it happened and im sure she's not aware Thea was drugged... So i was hoping for a forgiving scene where they talk abour it and Sara forgives her... But nope, completely forgotten. And i don't really understand why :(

406 (Lost Souls) [75th Episode] – No Oliver Queen voiceover intro.

406 (Lost Souls) – Oliver meets Curtis Holt; and Felicity tells Oliver that Ray Palmer is alive: 
(Felicity is listening to Ray's recorded message over and over again.)
Ray (recorded voice): "I'm alive, and I'm in trouble... I'm alive, and I'm in trouble. I'm alive -"
Curtis (entering): "I thought I said you could use my lab if you clean up after yourself."
Felicity: "The keyword being 'after,' which assumes finished, which clearly, I am not."
Curtis: "Well, how's it going?"
Felicity: "Ughh!"
Curtis: "That well?"
Ray (recorded voice): "I'm alive -"
Curtis: "Do you have that playing on a loop?"
Felicity: "I've been trying to trace to Ray's message back to its point of origin, but he must have ping-ponged it off of like a thousand servers. The back trace algorithm won't compile, which means there's no way of finding him, and -"
Curtis: "Okay! You need to stop right now."
Felicity: "I can't."
Curtis: "You have to. You are no good to Mr. Palmer in your current state. Now, how long has it been since you took a break?"
Felicity: "I dozed off for about two minutes about an hour ago. Does that count?"
(Curtis watches Oliver entering.)
Curtis (to himself): "You're married, he's straight, you're married, he's straight, ahem."
Felicity: "Ah, perfect. Oliver Queen, Curtis Holt. Curtis, Oliver. Curtis!"
Oliver: "Felicity's told me a lot about you."
Curtis: "She's told me virtually nothing about you."
Oliver: "Okay. (Curtis puts up hand, partially blocking Oliver's face) Curtis? What you doin'?"
Curtis: "The Green Arrow showed up right about the time that you came back into town. Nah, it's not you, though. Jaw's not right."
Oliver: "That's what I keep telling people. Would you give us a minute?"
Curtis: "Sure thing. Nice meeting you." (Leaves)
Oliver: "Nice meeting you, too. Ahem. (To Felicity) Hi. I thought that you were going to come by the campaign offices to go over the finances."
Felicity: "I thought that meeting was on Wednesday."
Oliver: "It is Wednesday."
Felicity: "Oh."
Oliver: "What's going on?"
(Felicity presses play on audio message.)
Ray (recorded voice): I'm alive, and I'm in trouble."
Oliver: "That sounds like -"
Felicity: "Ray. Because it is Ray. Because Ray isn't dead."
Oliver: "What? That's impossible. Ray was -"
Felicity: "Killed. In an explosion that blew up the top of this building six months ago. But that's obviously not what happened, because he sent this message six days ago, and dead people don't generally do that. Ray's alive. He's out there somewhere. I have to help him,"

406 (Lost Souls) – Felicity makes contact with the imprisoned Ray: 
Felicity: "I tell you Ray's in trouble and your first response is, 'you need a shower.'"
Oliver: "And a nap. You're not going to be able to help -"
Felicity: "Oh, stop. You're starting to sound like Curtis."
Oliver: "Well, Curtis is a smart guy. Did Ray's message indicate what kind of trouble he's in?"
Felicity: "If it did, it would have been the first thing I told you."
Oliver: "Okay. Is there anything that I can do to help?"
Felicity: "Well, have you magically learned to code in the last 72 hours?"
Oliver: "No."
Felicity: "It was a rhetorical question."
Oliver: "I know."
Felicity (extending hand to grasp Oliver's hand): "I will, however, accept your undying support and backrub."
Oliver: "You can have both as soon as you -"
Felicity: "Shower."
Oliver: "And take a nap. Come on. Come on, come on."
(Felicity's cell phone beeps.)
Oliver: "What?"
Felicity: "I set an alert just in case the back trace program ever finished compiling."
Oliver: "Felicity..."
Felicity (rushing to her laptop): "Two seconds! It's been taking forever. What are you doing? Absolutely nothing."
(Her laptop screen slowly changes from static to video of Ray.)
Ray (on screen): "Felicity? Felicity, is that you?"
Felicity: "Oh, my God, Ray!"
Oliver: "Ray, where are you?"
Ray (on screen): "I don't know. And if that wasn't enough, I think I'm being held against my will."
Felicity: "What?!"
Ray (on screen): "Yeah, they want my suit, or at least the tech. The good news is, the tech is useless to them in my current condition."
Oliver: "Ray, if you have your suit, then why don't you just, uh -"
Ray (on screen): "Bust my way out? Yeah, that's not really happening."
Felicity: "What, the suit doesn't work?"
Ray (on screen): "Actually, it worked a little too well."
(Cut to wide shot of tiny Ray being held prisoner in a glass box sitting on a table.)

406 (Lost Souls) – A frustrated Felicity snaps at Oliver:
Ray (on screen): "They want my suit, or at least the tech. The only good news is, the tech is useless to them in my current condition. Laurel: "John is never going to believe this."
Oliver: "Neither is Thea."
Laurel: "And, well, Ray is -"
Felicity: "The size of a tater tot. Ray modified his suit with the same nanites I injected into him after Bad Arrow shot him. It's a long story involving a lot of molecular physics. The bottom line is that Ray jury-rigged a short-range message burst that was intercepted by whoever's holding him captive."
Oliver: "Ray thinks they want the suit for its technology, but they can't use it while it’s small."
Laurel: "And while he's small, it's like looking for a needle in a city of haystacks."
Felicity: "Ray has something he thinks could help."
Ray (on screen): "Back at Palmer Tech, I've got schematics for a machine that should be able to resize me."
Felicity: "Well, now that you're both filled in." (Gets up to leave)
Oliver: "Where are you going?"
Felicity: "To Palmer Tech to pull up the schematics for Ray's device."
Oliver: "I'll come with you."
Felicity: "Why? Are you going to build the thing?"
Oliver: "No. There must be some other way I can help."
Felicity: "There isn't."

406 (Lost Souls) – Donna comes for a visit and meets Curtis: 
Curtis: "Dr. Palmer got miniaturization to work. He made the space between atoms shrink. I mean, this is like solving cold fusion and ultimate theory. Do you have any idea how amazing this is?"
Felicity: "Yes. But the fact that Ray is being held hostage and could be killed at any moment because he is the size of a Cheeto has dampened my enthusiasm. Somewhat. Can you build this?"
Curtis: "Yes. Um, all the materials are here at Palmer Tech, um, except for that. That is a quantum manifold."
Felicity: "Never heard of it. Where do we get one?"
Curtis: "Only one place - the manufacturer. They hold the patent on it - well, actually, 16 patents."
Felicity: "Curtis! Where?!"
Curtis: "Kord Industries. I'd ask them to do us a solid and loan it to us, but..."
Felicity: "They're our biggest competitor." 
Curtis: "The good news is, things can't get any worse."
(Donna enters, shrieking with joy.)
Felicity: "You just had to go and say that."
Donna: "There you are!"
Felicity: "Mom. Oh. Ha ha ha! (Hugs Donna) Oh, what are you doing here?"
Donna: "Well, I went to your office, Miss CEO, and your assistant told me you'd be here. So... here I am."
Felicity: "Not here-here, Star City, here."
Donna: "Well, Oliver told me that you've been working nonstop this past month, so I suggested a visit from your mom -"
Felicity: "Uh-huh."
Donna: "Is exactly what you needed, and guess what?"
Felicity: "What?"
Donna: "He agreed. (Sees Curtis) Oh. Hi!  And who are you?"
Felicity: "Oh."
Curtis: "Hi. I'm Curtis Holt. It is an absolute pleasure to meet you."
Donna: "Oh!"
Curtis: "I can see where Felicity got her, uh... blonde hair." (They all laugh)
Donna: "Well, she dyes it, actually. So, what do you want to do first? A trip to the mall? Mani-pedi?"
Felicity: "You know what, you must be exhausted from your flight. Why don't I get a car to take you back to my place?"
Donna: "A car? No, baby, I - I came here to see you."
Felicity: "I know! And you will. It's just that, right now, Curtis and I are trying to figure out how to build a very important piece of equipment, or someone could die."
Donna: "Die?"
Felicity: "Metaphorically speaking!  (To Curtis) You start constructing the machine, and I will get you the manifold."
Curtis: "But it's proprietary! How are you going to do that?"
Felicity: "I'm not!"
Curtis: "Awesome. The Green Arrow's going to be kicking some ass tonight."
Felicity: "If I don't kick his first."

406 (Lost Souls) – Team Arrow steals the manifold from Kord Industries: 
Oliver (over comms): "I thought it would be a good thing."
Felicity (over comms): "A good thing? What on earth made you agree to this?"
Oliver (over comms): "Well, you know, your mom doesn't really take no for an answer."
Felicity (over comms): "You've faced down Mirakuru soldiers and the League of Assassins. Are you honestly telling me that you couldn't say 'no' to my mom?"
Oliver (over comms): "She said she missed you and then she texted me one of those emojis with the single tear."
Felicity (over comms): "You have been texting with my mother?! How long has that been going on?"
Diggle (over comms): "You guys think we can find a better time to fight about this?"
Felicity (over comms): "John? I thought only Oliver's line was open."
Diggle (over comms): "Nope. Mine is open."
Laurel and Thea (simultaneously): "And mine." 
Sara (over comms): "I don't remember there being so much chatter on these missions."
Laurel: "Are you okay?"
Sara: "Yeah. I need a little normal. And for me, this is the kind of thing that passes."
Felicity (over comms): "I hacked the security panel, but it needs to be accessed from the inside. Only problem is that the building's interior is protected by pressure sensitive flooring, which means Chatty Kathy, you're up."
Oliver (over comms): "Chatty Kathy?"
Felicity (over comms): "Your new code name, the only one appropriate enough I could think of to use in polite company. Once the loading dock's doors are open, you'll have 90 seconds to find the manifold and [unintelligible word] before men with guns show up. Chatty Kathy?"
Oliver (over comms): "You know, when I get back, you and I are going to have a talk... I'm at the panel."
Felicity (over comms): "Stand by. Punch in 4, 5, 8, 7... Clock's running."
Thea: "Are you sure it was a good idea to bring Sara along?"
Laurel: "She'll be fine."
Felicity (over comms): "Something's wrong. The security cameras are coming back online."
Oliver (over comms): "I've got it."
Felicity (over comms): "No, don't you understand?! If Kord upgraded their security, they probably improved their response time."
(Sara and Thea enter storage room.)
Thea: "Wait, I think this is it."
(Alarm sounds and guards rush in; they fight with Sara and Thea. Sara starts punching guard repeatedly.) 
Thea; "Sara, stop!"
Oliver (entering): "Sara!"
Laurel (entering): "Sara! We have to go."
Diggle (over comms): "We're clear."
(Cut to Felicity in Arrow Bunker.)
Ray (over computer): "Hello? (Felicity gasps)  Is anyone there?"
Felicity: "Ray."
Ray (over computer): "Any luck with the schematics? I realize the quantum manifold could present a challenge."
Felicity: "Nothing a little late night shopping at Kord Industries couldn't solve."
Ray (over computer): "Oh, that's great. Thank you, Felicity. Now we just have to figure out how to -"
Felicity: "Ray, you still there?"
(Damien Darhk appears on the computer screen in front of Ray, and he stares into the camera.)
Felicity: "Oh, no."

406 (Lost Souls) – Felicity gets upset with Oliver for making dinner plans with her mother: 
Felicity: "What happened out there?"
Diggle: "Sara, she, um... had a moment with the security guard."
Oliver: "Laurel and Thea took her home. Are you sure it was Darhk that you saw in Ray's camera?"
Felicity: "Just as sure as I am that Ray is not getting out of this!"
Oliver: "It's actually good that Darhk has Ray."
Felicity: "This would be the same level of delusion that made you think my mother coming to town would make me feel better?"
Oliver: "Because it's Darhk - that means that we have an asset."
Diggle: "Lance."
Oliver: "I'll ask him to get us a location."
Felicity: "And what if between then and now, Darhk decides to squish Ray underneath his shoe?"
Diggle: "If Darhk wanted to hurt Ray, he would have done it by now."
Oliver: "Dig's right. We stay focused. We get Curtis the manifold, keep him working, and we unfortunately just have to wait and see what Lance finds out."
Felicity: "I hate waiting and seeing. I have to do something."
Oliver: "Your mother's in town. Spend some time with her. We could do dinner. I'll cook."
Felicity: "You already made dinner plans with my mother, didn't you?"
Oliver: "What? No... Yes."
Felicity: "Oh! Oh, my God! It is like a sickness with you!"
Oliver: "It wasn't intentional. We were having a nice conversation. The subject turned to cooking. I mentioned that I make a spectacular chicken cordon bleu. She said she'd never had one. It's just dinner."
Diggle: "He's right, Felicity. Besides, you look like you haven't eaten or slept."
Felicity: "A man's life - a friend's life is in danger. Doesn't seem like the right time for cordon bleu."
Oliver: "I promise you that there is nothing that we can do until we get what we need from Lance and Curtis. So, dinner. 7:00 pm. I'll be there as soon as I'm done with Lance."

406 (Lost Souls) – Felicity tells Oliver that she lost herself in him:
(Felicity and Donna are sitting at the table in the loft.)
Oliver (entering): Sorry I'm late."
Donna: "I, um, I tried following the recipe, but, you know, I think your oven might be broken, because I was supposed to put in for like 20 minutes, and it - all of a sudden -  I don't know, smoke just started billowing out, and I think the chicken's just a little, slightly undercooked."
Felicity: "I think the technical term is raw."
Oliver: "It's - it's fine, it's fine. I'm home now. I'll whip something up."
Felicity: "'Cause you just always fix everything."
Donna: "A man who cooks. You put a ring on that."
Felicity: "How'd that very important doctor's appointment go, hon?"
Oliver: "Uh, good, yes. Dr. Lance is just going to find out where the pain is coming from."
Donna: "Pain? You okay, hon?"
Oliver: "Fine. I'm just trying to figure out what I've done wrong."
Donna: "I - I'm going to go get some take-out.... (Whispers to Felicity) The best part about arguing is the make-up sex." (Leaves)
Oliver: "Okay. Inviting your mother for a surprise visit wasn't the best idea."
Felicity: "Hmm."
Oliver: "I totally accept that. What I'm not accepting, or understanding, is just you shutting me out."
Felicity: "I am not shutting you out. I'm trying to focus on finding Ray, but I can't do that with all of these distractions."
Oliver: "Distractions? What is going on with you? You're acting like it's my fault that Ray -"
Felicity: "It's my fault. What's happening with Ray - to Ray - is my fault."
Oliver: "Felicity, it really isn't."
Felicity: "Ray was sending distress calls for weeks after the accident. I wasn't here to receive them because I was too busy traveling the world with you. I took the police’s word for it that no body could be recovered because I was so swept up in being with you. I'm sorry. It was my choice to uproot my entire life, leave my home and my job, which turns out, I am very good at.  I lost myself in you, and I was never that girl. That girl who just loses herself in a guy. That is not who I am."
Oliver: "This isn't about Ray. It's about us."
Felicity: "No... Yes... I don't know."
Oliver: "Okay. I'm going to give you some space until you figure it out."

406 (Lost Souls) – Diggle reminds Oliver that Felicity chose him and not Ray Palmer:
(Oliver and Diggle are in the Arrow Bunker.)
Oliver: "It says the traffic cameras are online."
Diggle: "Yeah, you got to give it a minute to upload. What are you doing here, anyway? I thought I was waiting for Lance and you were having dinner with the Smoak ladies. Went that well, did it?"
Oliver: "Do you know what I miss about our old space? 
Diggle: "That trunk, with the bottle of Russian vodka in it.  (They point at each other) Vodka... is for wimps, anyway." (Takes out whiskey bottle)
Oliver: "Vodka is for wimps?"
Diggle: "Tennessee whiskey. Put some hair on your chest. It's hard to imagine dinner with Felicity and her mother not going well."
Oliver: "Donna's not the problem. I am. Felicity says that she's lost herself in our relationship, which means that she doesn't know who she is, and that if we hadn't have left Star City when we did, she would have been around to help Ray."
Diggle: "Metahumans, magic, resurrections - I thought I'd seen it all. But Oliver Queen jealous?"
Oliver: "I'm not jealous. I just got to know if Ivy Town was as good as it gets for us, because we've come back here. Everything has just gotten super complicated, and it just makes me wonder, why did she choose me?"
Diggle: "Oliver, I've heard you say a lot of crazy things over the years, but that has to be the prize."
Oliver: "You know what I mean. It takes me ten minutes to log into this thing. Felicity does it in two seconds, and Ray probably invented it."
Diggle: "Yeah, you're probably right. Except, Felicity didn't choose Ray. She chose you. Sure, she has a lot in common with Ray, but sometimes what looks good on paper isn't what works in real life."
Oliver: "What if something happens to him? We don't get him back?"
Diggle: "Felicity Smoak is one of the smartest, most bad-ass women on the planet. She comes through this, she'll get Ray back." 
Oliver: "You seem pretty sure."
Diggle: "I married a woman just like that. Twice, Oliver, twice."
Oliver: "Yes, you did."
Diggle: "Look, man, relationships have their ups and downs. Sometimes you just have to give it some time, a little bit of space. (His cell phone beeps) It's Lance. Meeting with Darhk in 20. You good?"
Oliver: "Better. Thank you."

406 (Lost Souls) – Felicity has a heart-to-heart conversation with her mother about Oliver: 
(Felicity is lying on the bed, staring into space, when Donna knocks on the door entrance.)
Felicity: "Yeah?"
Donna: "I brought you some hot milk."
Felicity: "I'm not ten, Mom."
Donna: "I'll bring it back downstairs." 
Felicity: "No, no, wait, wait, wait. Since you went to all the trouble." Donna: "Do you remember when you were a little girl and I told you you couldn't go to Space Camp? You locked yourself in your room for two days."
Felicity: "Well, to be fair, it was Space Camp." 
Donna: "But I told you, I couldn't bear the thought of sending you away for eight weeks. The truth was, hon, I - I couldn't afford it." 
Felicity: "Then why didn't you just tell me that?" 
Donna: "Because, I was embarrassed, you know, that I had no money, that I had no idea where your father was, and even if I did, he never paid a dime in child support, anyway."
Felicity: "I'm sorry. I had no idea."
Donna: "I put everything into your father. My love, my trust, my twenties. My point is, you... are not me. You are the CEO of a bajillion dollar company. And Oliver, he's not like your father, hon. He loves you. No one has ever looked at me the way he looks at you." 
Felicity: "He's wonderful. In a million different ways. But that's the problem. It's too easy to lose myself in him."
Donna: "Baby. That's how it's supposed to feel when you love someone. Believe it or not, he's lost himself in you. And you'll find yourself in each other. Just don't get in your own way. Don't ruin something that most people never get. 'Cause if you do, trust me, you'll never find another guy that hot again, who cooks." (They laugh)

406 (Lost Souls) – Team Arrow plans to rescue Ray from Darhk: 
Diggle: "He is definitely hiding something in there."
Felicity: "[Unintelligible word] building. Before the city went to crap, it was touted as the most secure building on the west coast. Every access point is protected by a retinal scanner, and a voice print."
Laurel: "There is no way we're getting in there."
Oliver: "Well, not from the outside, at least. How's Curtis doing on the re-sizing device?"
Felicity: "He said he could have something functional in an hour. I don't think we have that kind of time."
Oliver: "He's going to have to assemble it in the field."
Thea: "Wait, with us? Are we sure we want to have your assistant in on this?"
Felicity: "He's my employee, actually. And I'm not sure our company health plan covers supernatural dismemberment."
Oliver: "We need him. And if Curtis can re-size Ray on the inside, then we have another hand getting us all outside."
Sara (entering): "Then how about one more?"
Laurel: "I don't think that's a good idea."
Sara: "Laurel, I don't know what's going on with me, but I need to know that I can control this."
Laurel: "Suit up.

406 (Lost Souls) – Team Arrow executes their plan to rescue Ray; and Felicity gives Diggle the code name “Spartan”:
(Oliver is chained up in the basement.)
Darhk (holding Oliver's bow and arrows): "Hmm. These are very nice. (Breaks an arrow) Oops. (To Ghost) Leave us."
(Cut to 'Ghost" taking off his black balaclava to reveal Diggle's face.)
Diggle (over comms): "Package is delivered. Ladies?"
(Cut to Thea, Laurel and Sara standing outside the building.)
Thea (over comms): "Ready."
Diggle (over comms): "Felicity?"
(Cut to Felicity with Curtis on the rooftop, in buddy base jumper gear.)
Felicity (over comms): "Ready. Or as ready as I'll ever be."
Curtis: "When I told HR I wanted a little bit more excitement from my job, this really isn't what I had in mind."
Felicity: "You were the one who said you wanted to help Ray, and that you were an accomplished base jumper."
Curtis: "Oh, God, I really do have too many hobbies."
Felicity (over comms): "We're all right. Spartan, let's do this."
Diggle (over comms): "Spartan?"
Felicity (over comms): "We have a guest tonight."
Diggle (over comms): "All right, disengaging security systems... now."
(Curtis and Felicity jump off the rooftop and crash through a window into the building.)
Felicity: "Oh!"
Diggle: "You two okay?"
Felicity: "Uh-huh."
Curtis: "We're not dead."
Diggle: "Good. Let's go."
(Cut to basement.)
Darhk: "You mind if I take a little peeksie? I mean, I have my suspicions, of course. But I just want to see if I'm right, as usual."
(Oliver gets free from the chains, grabs his bow and arrow, and shoots arrow at Darhk, who stops it in mid-air.)
Darhk: "Didn't you learn anything from our last go-round? I guess not."
(Darhk magically shoots chains to wrap around Oliver's neck.  Cut to Felicity, Curtis and Diggle entering a lab to find tiny Ray in a glass box.)
Felicity: "Ray!"
Ray: "Hey."
Curtis: "How do you open this?"
Ray: "Yeah, my best guess is it needs an asymmetric cipher. You can open it with five years and an NSA-grade computer."
Felicity: "What if we enlarged him now, and then use his size to break the cube?"
Curtis: "The quantum field won't be able to penetrate this polymer."
(Cut back to basement where Oliver is choking on the chains around his neck.)
Darhk: "You know, it is a shame that you won't live to see the new life that I breathe into the city. The new life that I breathe into this world."
Oliver: "You won't get the chance."
(He throws smoke grenade, and when the smoke clears, he's escaped. Cut back to lab.)
Ray: "They put mini-cams in here with me, and those cameras..."
Felicity: "Need to draw power from somewhere. Ray, you are a genius."
Ray: "Well, I don't know about that, but I have siphoned off enough juice to power up my exosuit."
Curtis: "Dr. Palmer's doo-hickey's ready. If you don't mind my use of a technical term."
Felicity: "Do it!"
(Curtis shoots his resizing gun device at Ray, and Ray blows up to his normal human size.)
Ray: "I'm not dead."
(Cut to Laurel, Sara and Thea fighting Ghosts elsewhere in the building.)
Diggle (over comms): "We got Ray, let's go."
Laurel (over comms): "Copy that. 
(Laurel and Thea watch Sara tackle a Ghost.)
Laurel: "Sara! No! (Sara breaks the Ghost's neck) Come on. We have to go! Come on!"
(Cut back to lab, where a Ghost pulls a gun, but is hit by an arrow shot by Oliver.)
Oliver: "We have to move. Good to see you, Ray."
Ray: "Nice suit."

406 (Lost Souls) – Felicity reports that Ray’s health is fine after his micro-sizing experience:
Ray: "The worst part wasn't being small - it was that everything else was so big. The explosion at Palmer Tech tossed me into an abandoned construction site. The cockroaches were the size of golden retrievers. I'm not exaggerating."
Diggle: "Uh, I think we don't need to know that, really."
Ray: "Ah, the entomologist in me was actually really fascinated. I mean, you can't appreciate the size of the mandibles until the -"
Felicity: "Mmm, mmm, no, I've heard enough. I got a thing against cockroaches, and snakes and spiders, but especially cockroaches. Sorry, Ray, not everyone shares your enthusiasm for bugs."
Oliver: "But it is good to see the experience didn't change you."
Felicity: "Indeed. I got your medical tests back, and aside from a very noticeable iron deficiency, all your results are positive. There don't seem to be any side effects from the, um, micro-sizing."
Ray: "Relieved to hear it."
Diggle: "So are we."
Ray: "So, this guy who wanted to make me his lab rat?"
Oliver: "Damien Darhk. He's the leader of an organization we believe to be known as HIVE."
Ray: "Oh, like SPECTRE? That's so cool! ... and terrible."
Diggle: "Be assured, Palmer, that if they wanted your tech, it wasn't for any good reason."
Ray: "One other thing - they overheard my message to you."
Felicity: "I'm a possible target. I figured. I wouldn't be doing this if I couldn't handle being threatened by a super villain every now and then. Come on. I'll take you home. I can catch you up on all the latest at your company."
Ray: "Uh, actually, until I decide to come back from the dead, it's your company."
Felicity: "Great."

406 (Lost Souls) – The first rift between Oliver and Felicity as a couple is healed with a talk and a yin-yang kiss:
(Oliver is lying on their bed in the loft, reading a book, when Felicity enters.)
Oliver: "Hey!"
Felicity: "Hi."
Oliver: "How'd it go with Ray?"
Felicity: "Fine. Until I told him I sold his condo." (They chuckle)
Oliver: "I wanted to -"
Felicity: "Before we -"
Oliver: "Hmm."
Felicity: "You go first."
Oliver: "No. You."
Felicity: "I think we should... clear the air.  Um... I wanted to thank you. For helping save Ray, and for being so understanding in the midst of my mini-gargantuan freak out."
Oliver: "Well, I'm sorry that I'm not the best listener. But all of this is just, it - it's kind of new to me."
Felicity: "And to me. I didn't exactly grow up with the best example of a normal, healthy relationship."
Oliver: "Line forms behind me. It's kind of amazing that we've made it this far."
Felicity: "We're going to be fine."
Oliver: "How can you be so sure?"
Felicity: "Cause we found ourselves in each other."
(They kiss, forming a yin-yang visual image on screen.)
