Arrow Season 5 Episode 18 “Disbanded”: Watch Online
By Amy Woolsey
After last week’s grueling hour, Arrow looks to wind down with some board-setting. Here’s what you need to know about tonight’s episode.
So, we survived “Kapiushon”. Four-and-a-half seasons of character development culminated in that brutal episode, in which Oliver admitted that he kills out of desire, not necessity, and ditched the Arrow mantle. What now?
Even though he has given up his vigilante persona, Oliver still wants to stop Prometheus. In this week’s episode, titled “Disbanded”, he will summon an unexpected ally. Read the plot synopsis, courtesy of DC Comics News, below:
"OLIVER CALLS ON THE BRATVA FOR HELP — Diggle (David Ramsey) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) are shocked by Oliver’s (Stephen Amell) decision to call on the Bratva to help take down Prometheus (Josh Segurra). Concerned the Bratva may overstep, Diggle has a hard conversation with Oliver about what happens if things go south. Meanwhile, Felicity learns something shocking at Helix."
Felicity’s covert Helix activities aside, Team Arrow was more or less in sync before Prometheus abducted Oliver. They had disagreements and conflicts, but ultimately, they were all determined to stop Prometheus’s reign of terror. No matter what obstacles they encountered, it felt as though they would find a way to stay together. As Diggle assured Oliver, “We’re your strength.”
On the contrary, however, Oliver’s latest ordeal appears to have driven a rift in the team. After all, he didn’t ask for his companions’ input when deciding to quit. Suffice to say, we’re nervous, especially since Felicity’s secret is bound to come out sooner or later.
The trailer for “Disbanded” hints at plenty of angst and fighting. Check it out:
Well, there goes Optimistic Oliver. He had a good run.
