Back to the island, where Oliver, his mysterious friend and Fyers are riding around in a jeep. Fyers tries to chat with Oliver, who's not good at pretending to be a soldier. He falls at the first trap, which was about whether he came on a plane or island.
Thea and Moira are in the back of a limousine, talking fondly about dresses and dead family members. Malcolm calls Moira, who wants to stall him. Thea pouts that they were supposed to spend the day together, but Moira claims she has to go fill out CEO paperwork. If she's pretending she wasn't just talking to Malcolm, she probably should have hidden the phone's screen, since it said "MALCOLM" in huge letters. And there was a picture of Malcolm. Thea is whiny because her mother promised to spend the day with her.
CNRI. Tommy tells Laurel that his father has invited them to dinner, which we already knew about. I don't see why we need exposition about things the audience saw happen. They decide to go. This scene was not, in my opinion, essential.
It's nighttime at Q Consolidated. So I don't know why Moira couldn't have spent a few more hours with her daughter, riding around in a limousine and buying absurdly expensive clothing. Malcolm tells Moira there's a problem with Carl Ballard, who's going to gentrify the Glades. For some reason, their secret organization doesn't want that done. I don't know what's involved in glade-gentrification, but I assume it involves alligators in little top hats. Moira wants proof that Walter's still alive before she's willing to move on Carl. The scene ends awkwardly. But Thea's hiding behind a wall and she saw everything!
Ted and Diggle are at Big Belly Burger, and Ted's blustering about how awful it is to be a bodyguard for rich idiots. Carly (Diggle's ex-sister-in-law) flirts a bit in the course of her waitress duties. Paul Knox, a mean-looking bald man, comes in and says it's good to be working with Diggle. He got recruited when his tour ended and Ted says he deserves a chance to prove he's changed. So at this point, we've got Ted (seems like a nice guy) and Paul (seems mean).
