Roger: Boy, these teen leather heroes are... what's the word?
Omar: Lacking?
Roger: Yes, that's it! As we say in the Hollywood dog industry, they're the kind of kids that if they fell in a well, we wouldn't exactly rush to the farm to bark at anyone about it, know what I mean?
Omar: Ruff-ly. Ha! Because you're a dog and the word "Ruff" and --
Roger: Just shut the fuck up, Omar. I find that offensive.
Omar: Really?
Roger: Naw. Just fuckin' with ya.
Commercials. Oh Reese's, I would eat about a hundred of you if it wouldn't negate every act of exercise I've ever done. Why do your calories torment me so?
Stately Luthor Manor, former home of Lex, who was hot, but which now belongs to Tess, who is ice cold! A guard comes around a hallway corner and says the east corridor is secure. Oh, is it? Are you sure about that? REEEEALLLY? As he walks past, we see that Green Arrow is wedged up in the ceiling against two pieces of brown wood molding. He lands on the floor and makes enough noise that anyone would notice, but the guard doesn't. Green Arrow rushes up behind the guy, grabs him and stun guns him in the neck, Down you go! "Sweet dreams," Oliver says. I like "Down you go!" better. But I'm not the one with the stun gun. Yet. Oliver enters Tess's bedroom, which looks an awful lot like Lana's old bedroom. He looks around the room, resisting the urge to rifle through the panty drawer. He turns and spots a big, gold-colored cabinet. He frisks it and finds a button along the lower left side. It pivots, revealing a steel door behind. Oliver flashes the iPhone at the fingerprint panel and it gives him the green light. The vault slides open revealing a blue-neon-lit set of metal shelves inside. Amid the neatly arranged jewels and vases is a conspicuous chunk of black rock. Oliver grabs it. He hears a door opening outside, though. Ruh-oh!
Tess, wearing the same red outfit she wore in her office, is walking with one of her henchmen. She tells him that "Plastique" and Parasite fell off the grid 20 minutes ago. It was a very narrow grid. She wants an update the moment they get any intel on the two of them. Tess goes to her bedroom. She starts to take off her blouse, but notices in the mirror that Oliver, shirtless, is lying in her bed. He tells her not to stop undressing on his account. Fresh! She buttons back up and accuses him of not recognizing boundaries. Oliver says he thought he'd try another fly-by. By which he means his penis. Flying by. Whoosh! She asks how he got past security. Smirky-smirk. "Must have been sleepin' on the job," he says. Indeed. They've been asleep since about 2002. Tess asks him to leave. "Really?" Oliver asks. He gets up and drops the bedsheet. He's very obviously completely naked. Cad! Tess's eyes go wide, then she turns away. It's man-stuff! "Where the Hell are your pants?" she asks. Pants? What are those? Oh yeah. I just call them "two-legged penis sheaths." Makes me feel more capable in the pants-wearing department. Oliver says he hid them the way he once hid her pants in a cabana in Fiji. He tries to make her reminisce. He remembers they spent the rest of that vacation "au natcher-alle." Nice try, Oliver. Tess says he can streak down memory lane all by himself, because those days are over. Oliver thinks they were having a moment earlier. Tess calls it "tension" but not "sexual." Oliver, still naked, goes right up to her and begs to differ. "I'll fly you to places you never knew existed," he offers. Go on, Oliver, tell her your Jet is Blue. "Let's get United." "Unless you want to fly Virgin, in which case I'll have to be careful with your Delta. Have I mentioned I'm naked? I totally am." Tess tells "Ace" to cool his jets. Oliver says he wants to start over. Tess thinks it's too late for that now. Just then something explodes behind her. She covers her ears and ducks. "Oliver!" she cries. He's lying on the floor, facing down, unconscious. His nuts got blown off! No, not really, but a naked man apparently survived an explosion without a single scratch on his delicates. That's impressive. Tess turns. Punky and Parasite are walking in. Parasite says he deep-fried her security chips with the power he stole from Live Wire. Tess tries to push a button on her phone, but nothing's happening. The phone tells her that termination of the two of them is unsuccessful. The communication link has been lost. Punky accuses her of trying to be the mother hen. That's apt, because there was a cock roaming around the room a minute ago. "Looks like your freaks have come home to roost!" Punky garbles. Parasite reaches for Tess and we cut immediately to the next scene.
