Complete story — includes the ending

In flashbacks, Oliver and Maseo steal the counterpart to the supervirus, thus making Chien's portion inert. Oliver also slips a GPS tracker onto one of Chien's men in order to locate Tatsu. In the present, Diggle and Roy work to continue protecting the city in Oliver's absence. With the Arrow missing, a new crime lord named Danny "Brick" Brickwell plots to take over the Glades. After Thea expresses concern over Oliver's absence, Merlyn investigates the site of the duel and brings the bloodied sword back to the hideout, proclaiming Oliver's death. Diggle discovers Brickwell's plan, to secure all the evidence against street enforcers so they are released from jail and forced to join his crew, and brings Roy to the police warehouse so the two of them can stop him. Fearing for their lives, Felicity decides to trap the duo in the warehouse and let Brickwell escape. Afterwards, Felicity proclaims the group non-existent without Oliver and quits both the team and helping Ray with his A.T.O.M. project. Laurel starts fighting Brickwell's operatives, donning an altered Canary costume. Merlyn advises Thea leave Starling City with him. Meanwhile, Maseo finds Oliver's body and takes it to Tatsu, who restores Oliver to consciousness.
