Arrow 6x10 : Divided review
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it
Arrow returns and with it such an epic episode that while not the best episode this season it is pretty close to being so. The episode begins as Cayden James Ricardo Diaz and Black Siren invade the office of one of the last remaining Bertanelli family members and offer to purchase his port in the Star City harbor. He of course refuses to which Laurel uses her powers on him and Cayden James tells him he has 48 hours to consider their offer or else his daughter will be getting a visit by them at her college in New York. A pretty simple start to the episode but it set things up well.
Back at the Bunker and as John Oliver and Felicity talk about the on going situation Curtis arrives with his new technology that he hopes will fix Dig's tremor in his hand. It fails but as it does Felicity notices some major signal interruption. Turns out it is the bug that we see Cayden and his crew were using in the mid season finale. This causes the team to move to an Argus stronghold but that too later get's compromised which is never really explained how Cayden even bugged it because I'm guessing that would be under major security but it's little things like that, that stop this episode from being one of the best this season. As the team work out a location for Cayden and his posse Oliver ventures alone and we're treated to an absolutely epic scene where Green Arrow practically takes out the majority of James's crew before eventually being detained as he is introduced to the entire group of Cayden's gang including Ricardo Diaz and his crew, The Bratva, Black Siren and Vigilante. Oliver ever the escape artist manages to escape and he informs Dinah that Vince (Vigilante) is working with Cayden James which upsets her so much to the point where she tries to arrest him. She fails of course and Vince escapes but not before a giant battle between Green Arrow and all of Cayden's crew ensues in a warehouse as the Bertanelli family member I mentioned earlier agrees to meet Cayden James and discuss the deal for the port. As the battle ends Oliver manages to escape via a built in explosion device and Cayden kills the Bertanelli member just as he agreed to sell the port to him.
The episode ends as Oliver, Dig and Felicity try to talk it out with Dinah Rene and Curtis only for them to inform the OG team Arrow that they are going to form their own team because of the way they were treated by Oliver which Oliver agrees before wishing them all the best. Before leaving Curtis hands Dig a new version of his technology to help with his tremor and it works this time helping Dig regain full control over his hands. And that is how the episode ends as we see that Dig is back!
I really enjoyed this episode. It was action packed while not fully reliant on too much drama. Welcome back Team Arrow it's good to see you back at your absolute best.
★★★★
