From 1.01 "Pilot", on the island, Oliver had his hair and beard grown, wearing a green hood, filthy and weak.

Oliver: (voice over) "My name is Oliver Queen."

Jill had really long hair, filthy and weak.

Jill: (voice over) "I'm Jill Wright."

Jill was running through the woods, using a knife to stab into a tree and pull herself up into the branches.

Jill: (voice over from 1.01 Pilot) "I've been stranded here for six years. I've dreamt of my rescue every cold black night since then."

Oliver reached the arrows on the beach, using Jill's knife to strike up a flame, shooting a bonfire to strike up the fire.

Oliver: (voice over from 1.01 Pilot) "I've been here for five years. I have had only one thought. One goal. Survive."

From 1.01 "Pilot", on the news, the only thing that the man on the news channel could talk about was Oliver and Jill's return. "Oliver Queen is alive, along with a woman by the name of Jill Wright."

From 1.01 "Pilot", outside the Queen Mansion, Oliver and Jill were talking.

"My dad asked me to save this city," Oliver told her. "To right his wrongs. I will."

From 1.01 "Pilot", in the hideout, Oliver and Jill were talking after he stitched her wound.

"I'm not doing this just for you," Jill told him.

Oliver nodded. "You're doing this for your family."

Jill sighed, looking down, shaking her head. "I swore that I wouldn't let what happened to them happen to anyone else. And to do that, I need to put these guys in their places."

From 1.06 "Legacies", in the hideout, Oliver and Jill were training at the hideout with two metal short staffs. Oliver and shirtless. Jill was in workout clothes, including a sports bra.Oliver tried to hit her with both of his staffs in a blur of motion. Jill used both of hers to block the moves just as fast.

Jill: (voice over) "But to do that without endangering the people closest to us..."

 From 1.03 "Lone Gunmen", outside the auction house, Jill/Sapphire turned around to follow the laser light up to the building across the street, glaring.  

Jill: (voice over) "I have to be someone else."

From 1.06 "Legacies", in the hideout, Oliver and Jill were training at the hideout with two metal short staffs. Oliver and shirtless. Jill was in workout clothes, including a sports bra. Oliver swung both of his up over their heads, trying to come down on her. Jill raised both of hers in an X shape to block both of his. 

Oliver: (voice over) "I have to be..."

From 1.01 "Pilot", in the night club's basement, Oliver/Arrow stood next to Jill/Sapphire's bedside, lowering his hood.

Oliver: (voice over) "Something else."

➣ ➣

From 1.01 'Pilot", there was a raging storm over the ocean.

Jill: (voice over) "Previously on Sapphire Arrow."

From 1.04 "An Innocent Man", in Walter's office, Walter and Felicity were talking.

"The company Mrs. Queen invested in doesn't exist," Felicity told him.

From 1.04 "An Innocent Man", in the Tempest warehouse, Walter walked in, standing on a balcony over the main room. He turned on the light, seeing the remains of the 'Queen's Gambit' on the floor below.

Felicity: (voice over from 1.04 An Innocent Man) "Tempest purchased a warehouse in Starling City."

From 1.07 "Muse of Fire", in the foyer of the Bertinelli House, Jill saw Helena walking across the top of the stairs.

From 1.07 "Muse of Fire", in the living room of the Bertinelli House, Jill, Helena, Frank and Nick were talking.

"Jill, this is my daughter, Helena," Frank told her.

From 1.07 "Muse of Fire", outside the Queen Consolidated building, Moira and Paul were standing together.

Oliver was across the street on his bike.

Helena drove closer, aiming a gun.

"Get down!" Oliver told them. 

Helena shot at Paul and Moira, hitting Paul in the chest and fall back into Moira, making them both fall.

From 1.07 "Muse of Fire", in the hospital hallway, Oliver and Jessica were talking.

"Oliver, the guy that she was with was connected, mobbed up to the eyeballs connected," Jessica told him. "She wasn't the target."

From 1.07 "Muse of Fire", in Russo's, Jill/Sapphire took off Helena's helmet to reveal who she was. She was in shock to see Helena as the motorcyclist.

From 1.07 "Muse of Fire", in the warehouse, Helena and Jill were zip-cuffed to their chairs.

Men surrounded them.

Helena looked at Nick. "My father had Michael murdered."

"It's your fault Michael's dead," Nick told her. "Not your father for ordering the hit or me for carrying it out." Helena looked at him in surprise. "Yours."

Nick was about to shoot Helena.

Jill broke free, running toward Nick, pushing him to the floor. She turned around to face Man 1. Man 1 was about to shoot her.

An arrow was shot into his arm, making him drop the gun.

Jill looked toward Oliver/Arrow up above.

Oliver used a gun to hit Man 2 twice, grabbing him from behind, looking ready to to snap his neck. He hesitated, hitting Man 2 on the head with the gun, making him fall unconscious.

Helena got free, grabbing Nick from behind, slamming his head against a crate repeatedly hard enough to kill him, turning to face Jill and Oliver. "I'm sorry. But no one can know my secret. I'd ask you to let me go, but the Starling City vigilantes don't let bad guys go easily, do they?"

"How do you know about me?" Jill asked.

"I saw you fight," Helena answered. 

"What you're doing right now, I know that it feels like justice, but it's not," Jill told her. "It's revenge."

"Sometimes revenge is justice," Helena told them.

"Your father killed your fiance," Oliver told her.

From 1.07 "Muse of Fire", in the Bertinelli Construction Site, Kira and Karma stepped out of a car, walking toward Frank and Nick.

"We're not responsible for the attacks on your people," Kira told him.

"They stop now, or I'm coming for you," Frank told them.

Karma smirked, putting a finger to her lips. "Shh. You'd best be quiet about this, Frank." She lowered her hand. "You'd be stupid to start a war with the Triad. Unless you want innocents to get killed in the process."

Kira and Karma turned around, walking away, leaving.

From 1.07 "Muse of Fire", in the police precinct, Lance and Jessica were talking.

"Well, we better pray that Frank Bertinelli blames the vigilantes for this," Lance told her. "'Cause if he thinks it's the Triad, Starling City is ground zero to World War III."

From 1.07 "Muse of Fire", in Jill's guest room, Jill was sitting on her bed, gazing off.

Oliver walked in. "You're taking this case a little personally, don't you think? She is the bad guy, Jill. She's the killer."

"A lot of people say the same thing about you, Oliver," Jill told him.

Oliver was taken aback by this, knowing that she was right, sighing. "I know that you want to save her. Because this isn't just about stopping bad guys for you. This is about helping everyone that you can. But Helena doesn't want to be helped, Jill." 

Jill didn't answer, looking down.

Day One 

Night - Bertinelli House - Helena's Room

Helena had received a package, setting it on her bed. She opened the white box, revealing a purple suit and mask for what she would wear when she was the Huntress. She smirked barely.

➣ 

Alley 

Several men were waiting for the leader of the Triad, Zhishan.

Helena/Huntress drove closer on her motorcycle, staying hidden.

China White and Kira and Karma Mahageni walked closer, leading Zhishan toward the car as protective custody.

Jill/Sapphire was on the building above her, flipping off of the building, getting in her way, hitting the gun out of her hand to make the shot fire aside.

Kira looked at Zhishan, speaking in Chinese. "Get inside."

China looked at the men, speaking in Chinese. "Kill them."

They started to fire toward them.

Jill pulled Helena into cover.

The Triad drove away, leaving.

Helena pushed Jill away. "Take your hands off of me."

"What the hell did you think you were doing?" Jill asked.

"That man was the leader of the Triad," Helena told her. "My father blames them for the recent hits against his men."

"These are men you killed," Jill told her.

Helena nodded. "That's right. I take out Zhishan and the Triad retaliates. I have weakened my father's organization to the point where there is no way that he can survive their onslaught."

"What, and then you'll have your revenge?" Jill asked.

"Then I have justice, for what he did to Michael and me," Helena told her.

"It's not justice," Jill told her.

"And what you do is?" Helena asked.

"Would you let me show you?" Jill asked.

Helena sighed. "Fine."

Big Belly Burger

(Song:) Sometime - DIIV

Jill and Helena were no longer suited up, sitting at a table.

"Anything else I can get you?" Carly asked.

"No, thank you, Carly," Jill answered.

"Where's Justin Smoak?" Carly asked. "It's late, and this is the Glades. Shouldn't he be keeping you safe?"

"She is tougher than she looks," Helena told her.

Carly walked away, leaving.

Jill looked at Helena. "So, you think you have everything figured out."

"I don't think you're one to judge," Helena told her.

"I don't kill people," Jill told her.

"But your friend in the hood does," Helena told her.

"He only kills when it is absolutely necessary," Jill told her. "It's not his opening move. And the way you're going, you're gonna get somebody hurt, like Moira Queen, or yourself."

"I'm sorry about Moira Queen," Helena told her. "That was an accident."

"How many more accidents have to happen before you're done getting back at your father?" Jill asked.

Helena scoffed. "Hopefully none. I am not getting back at him. I--I am stripping away everything that has meaning to him, just like he did to me when he had Michael killed."

"What if I could show you another way, a way you could take down your father's organization without putting innocent people at risk?" Jill asked.

"Thank you for the coffee but I'm not interested," Helena told her, standing, walking away.

Jill sighed.

Day Two

Morning - Queen Industrial - Basement

Jill was at the hideout, in workout clothes, doing a handstand pushup.

Oliver, Justin and John were watching.

"I don't know where the next Olympics are at, but you might want to think about signing yourself up," Justin told her.

"So, you want to talk about last night?" Oliver asked. "Because the last time you and I spoke, we were on the verge of stopping Helena Bertinelli from her one-woman war against the Mafia before we were stopped by the cops, and I took you home."

"Nick Salvati, Frank Bertinelli's right hand, was found with his head bashed in, and a few of his thugs knocked out or shot," John told them.

Jill flipped down, standing. "I had to stop her from killing the head of the Triad." She walked toward the weight bar. "Tried to talk her down, and she--"

"What, she got away, or you let her walk away?" Oliver asked.

"I figured that you wanted to deal with her your way, not mine," Jill told him.

"This woman is a killer," John told them. "She's been dropping bodies all over the city."

Jill stopped, turning to face them. "Three years ago, she was gonna turn her father in to the FBI. She put everything she had on him on a laptop. Her father found it, thought it belonged to her fiance, and had him murdered."

Jill turned her back to them, grabbing the bar above her head.

"All right, listen, that's a heavy thing, guys," Justin told them. "But it doesn't change the fact that she is dangerous. And if Bertinelli retaliates against the Triad, or is perceived to, the Triad is gonna rain down hell, and innocent people are gonna be killed."

Jill hoisted herself above the bar. "She's lost, and whether she knows it or not, we can save her, stop her from doing anything reckless, but only if you think that that's the right call."

"That's just it, Jill," Oliver told her. "You cant save her, okay? Some people don't change."

Jill let herself down, turning to face them, looking at Oliver. "You can. You changed. Before, you killed. Last night, I saw you hesitate, and you didn't kill that guy. You had the chance to snap his neck, and you didn't. You knocked him out. I can help her."

"Maybe you think you're more persuasive than you are, or maybe she thinks she's fine with her path of righteous fiery, but whatever it is, either way, all of this, it ends badly," John told them.

"Either way, I got to try," Jill told them.

They sighed.

Jill turned around, walking away, leaving.

Oliver, Justin and John watched her go, sighing.

Queen Mansion - Foyer 

Walter and Moira walked downstairs.

"Where are you off to so early?" Moira asked. "You just got home."

"The trouble with traveling overseas for a few weeks is that a few weeks' worth of work is piling up on my desk," Walter told her. "I just want to start digging my way out from underneath it."

"Of course," Moira told him.

Walter packed up his suitcase at the table in the foyer.

Moira walked closer.

"What is it?" Walter asked.

"We haven't spoken since you left," Moira answered. "Really spoken."

"I know," Walter told her.

"Well, I can imagine finding out that I had Robert's yacht salvaged and that he was murdered, it was a lot for you to take in," Moira told him.

Walter turned to face her. "Yes, it was."

"I just don't want you to feel that you can't trust me anymore," Moira told him. "I wasn't lying to--to hurt you, but to keep you safe. I haven't changed, Walter. I'm still the woman you fell in love with and married. Do you see that?"

Walter nodded. "Yeah. Of course I do." He kissed her lightly. "I just want us to agree to be honest with one another, moving forward."

"Yes, of course," Moira told him.

"Okay," Walter told her.

Thea and Skylar walked downstairs in their school uniforms.

"Walter, will you give us a lift to school?" Thea asked. "I like to mix it up sometimes and actually be on time."

"Yeah, because I talk her into it," Skylar told them.

"That would be my parental privilege," Walter told them.

"Or, you know, you could just buy me a convertible and then we could avoid this," Thea told them.

"What, and miss out on all those wonderful conversations we have in the car?" Walter asked. "I don't think so."

Skylar laughed.

Thea, Skylar and Walter walked out, leaving.

Moira watched them go pensively.

Bertinelli House - Foyer

Helena stood at the top of the stairs.

A woman by the name of Dina Salvati was visiting Frank. "I'm so sorry, Frank. The last thing you need is me crying on your shoulder all night. I just can't believe that Nick is gone."

"Dina, look, you and Nicky, you're like family to me, okay?" Frank asked. "And in my family, we take care of our own. Okay?"

They embraced.

"I'm sorry for your loss," Helena told her. They pulled away. "NIck was like a brother to me."

Frank looked at Dina. "Hey, now, come on. We'll talk to you soon." He opened the door for her. Dina walked out, leaving. Frank closed the door, turning to Helena. "I'm gonna find the son of a bitch who did this. And on my life, I'm gonna make him pay." The doorbell rang. Frank sighed. "You know, that girl's always forgetting something."

Frank opened the door for Jill.

"Frank," Jill told him. "Sorry to drop by unannounced."

Frank shook my hand. "No, no, no, come on in. It's all right. Come in." Jill walked in, seeing Helena was on the staircase. "Look, I know, uh, I know we've been working on that construction deal, and I'm sorry for my dropping the ball. We've had a death in the family."

"I'm terribly sorry to hear that,"Jill  told him.

"Thank you," Frank told her.

"Actually, though, I'm not here to discuss business," Jill told him. She held up Helena's cross. "Helena dropped this last night at dinner."

"Oh, thank you for bringing it back," Frank told her. He looked at Helena. "Excuse me, sweetie. A father knows when he's not needed."

Frank walked out, leaving.

Helena walked toward Helena. "Was I not clear that I wasn't interested in talking?"

"You don't have to talk," Jill told her, opening the door.

Helena grabbed her jacket, walking out, leaving.

Jill followed, closing the door behind her.

Cemetery 

(Song:) With Wings - Amy Stroup 

Helena and Jill were in the cemetery, walking toward where they had issued a family plot for the Wrights, for her parents, Sean and Angela, her brother, Austin, and her sister, Amy.

"Is this your family?" Helena asked.

"Yeah," Jill answered. "There's no bodies here. My parents and my brother were caught in a shootout in Mexico that me and my sister were forced to abandon so we wouldn't have to die. Their bodies were buried in a mass grave of the other victims. And then, when my sister and I took a cruise to take our minds off of them... Well, you know the story. Amy was lost at sea. There's no finding her now. And then the island. Since the island and since I've been back, I haven't been able to let anyone in. Because I can't be hurt again. And right now, you're on an island of your own, and if you don't get off, people are going to die. Innocent people will get caught in the war that you're trying to start. And what happens next is up to you. We can help you, or we can take you down. It's your choice."

(Song Ends)

Queen Industrial - Basement

Jill brought Helena to the hideout.

Helena was trying to throw knives into a target, missing each time, making them clatter on the floor. "This is a waste of time."

Jill took the knives from her. "I'm trying to teach you something."

"What, the least effective way to hurt people?" Helena asked.

"No," Jill answered. "Control. Throwing knives and swords isn't as easy as it seems to be, as you know now. It requires patience and discipline." She picked up a sword from the table, holding it up for Helena to see, throwing it into the bulls eye on the target, the blade completely going through the board until the hilt reached it. Helena walked over to a table, sitting down, picking up a cup, throwing it up. Jill threw a knife into it, making it fall to the floor. Helena picked up a target toy, tossing it up. Jill threw a knife into it, wedging it into a wall. Helena picked up a tennis ball. Jill threw a knife into the tennis ball while it was still in the palm of her hand without hurting her. "I can do this all day. It's kind of fun."

Oliver walked in. "Yeah, Jill does have plenty of stamina."

Jill turned to him. "Oliver, Helena. Helena, Oliver." Oliver walked closer, stopping next to Jill. "Be nice."

"Who, me?" Oliver asked.

Jill tilted her head.

Oliver smirked.

Jill turned to face Helena. "Oliver is my, uh..." She looked at Oliver, wondering if he wanted to tell. Oliver shook his head. Jill looked at Helena. "Associate."

"Well, any associate of Jill's is--" Helena started.

"Absolutely nothing to you," Oliver told her.

"I'll leave you two 'associates'," Helena told them, walking out, leaving.

Oliver turned to face Jill. "You trust her?"

"If I trusted her, I would've told her who you were," Jill told him. "But that's not my secret to tell. That's yours."

"Look, I get that you didn't get the chance to even tell her who you were because she figured it out when she saw you fight in the warehouse," Oliver told her. "And I appreciate that you didn't tell her about who I am. But, Jill, what we do is dangerous. And getting confused as to who's good and who's bad is a good way to get you dead."

Jill nodded barely. "You done?"

"Yeah, I'm done," Oliver answered. "With this. I'm going after Anthony Venza tonight. He works for Frank Bertinelli, and he sells illegal prescription pills, along with a lot of drugs. He's in my dad's list, and no doubt on Helena's. Now, I know that you can't resist helping. So you can either help Helena get innocent people caught in the crossfire, or you can help me and make sure that they stay safe."

Jill walked closer. "As if you have to ask."

CNRI Office

Laurel was working.

Tommy walked in. "I hope you don't have plans tomorrow night, because I just got us a rez at that new restaurant, Table Salt, opening night."

"Isn't that place ridiculously expensive?" Laurel asked.

"Everywhere worth going is," Tommy told her. Laurel took a drink of coffee worriedly. "Ah, you have the cutest crinkle in your forehead when you're worried."

Laurel sighed. "Tommy, stop. This is serious. I thought you were going to live more frugally."

"Yeah, I know," Tommy told her. "Everybody is grown up except for me. Even Oliver has a job. He's working on that new night club with Jill." Laurel was thinking. "You have thinky face. Why do you have thinky face?"

"Have you ever thought about asking Oliver for a job?" Laurel asked.

"Not even once," Tommy answered.

"This isn't a quality that I love most about you, but you do know the club scene and how to have fun," Laurel told him.

"You make some very valid points," Tommy told her. "Look, I'll take care of it. I'll talk to Ollie later and we'll see what he thinks."

Tommy sat at Laurel's desk.

"He is gonna think it is a great idea," Laurel told him.

They kissed.

Night - Queen Consolidated - Walter's Office

Walter was sitting at his desk, working.

Felicity walked in, holding a file. "How was your trip to Australia? I've always wanted to go. Down under. It's just... I have this thing about kangaroos. More of a phobia. They wig me out. They look evil, and I'm sure their picture's up on like everything everywhere in that country."

"You had something important to tell me, Miss Smoak?" Walter asked.

"Yes, I did," Felicity answered. "It's about Tempest. Your wife's mysterious LLC, the one she diverted company funds to."

Walter nodded. "I appreciate your diligence on this, but, uh, it was a simple misunderstanding between my wife and I. Everything's been resolved."

"No, see, it hasn't," Felicity told him. "There was something about the money transfer that felt hinky to me. The money your wife withdrew from the company, I wasn't the only one who tracked it. She was being shadowed by another entity, and whoever it is, they're good. NSA good. But, as you know, I'm good, too." She opened the file. "So even though they left almost no trace of their presence in our system..." She pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to Walter. "I did manage to find one thing. Well, one image." Walter took the paper, looking at the same symbol that was on the journals with the lists of names. "Does that symbol mean something to you, sir?"

Walter shook his head. "No." He stood, walking around the desk toward her. "What means something to me is one of my employees prying into my wife's private business without authorization. And should it happen again, I'll have you suspended. Is that clear?"

Felicity nodded. "Crystal."

Felicity walked out, leaving.

Walter looked at the paper with the symbol, clearly knowing it more than he had let on.

Warehouse

Anthony Venza and his lackeys were making the illegal prescriptions and drugs.

"This isn't crack," Anthony told them. "Anyone can sell crack. All you need's a street corner and a hoodie. This is pharmaceutical grade oxycodone. It is caviar. It is champagne. And you sell this with fancy houses, at parties with rich kids that got money to burn." A knife was thrown into the power supply to shut the power down. "Check it out!"

A man with a gun walked up the steps to one side of the balcony.

They heard fighting.

The gun dropped to the ground.

Anthony picked it up. "Whoever you are, you really think you're gonna get out of here in one piece?"

Jill/Sapphire and Oliver/Arrow were standing on the balcony above the warehouse.

"I was thinking the same thing," Oliver told him. He aimed his bow and arrow. "Anthony Venza..."

"You have failed this city," Jill told him.

Oliver shot an arrow into a table, making it shower with sparks.

Jill jumped down from the balcony to the floor. Man 1 ran toward her, trying to punch her with both hands. Jill caught both, elbowing Man 2 in the face, turning to kick Man 3 behind her, making them all fall.

Oliver used his bow to hit Man 4 in the stomach, making him double over in pain, turning to kick Man 5 behind him, pushing Man 4 off of the balcony onto the table.

Man 1 tried to kick Jill. Jill caught his leg, kicking it hard enough to make him flip through the air, watching him fall.

Anthony ran toward the door.

Jill held her sword in front of him to stop him.

"Please, don't hurt me," Anthony told her.

"Aw," Jill told him. "How about just a little?"

Outside

Oliver and Jill were outside, hiding, watching the cops take the men and the drugs away from the warehouse.

"Millions of dollars' worth of illegal drugs confiscated, a massive blow to Frank Bertinelli's criminal proceeds, and nobody had to die," Jill told him. "This is all I've ever wanted from you."

"And now you want it from Helena," Oliver told her. "You think that she will go for it."

Jill looked at him. "There's only one way to find out."

Bertinelli House - Living Room

Frank was sitting down, watching the news.

Man: (on TV) "Anthony Venza was arrested last night. The police confiscated a warehouse full of illegal prescription drugs with a street value estimated in the millions." 

Helena walked in.

Man: (on TV) "Several unconfirmed witnesses reported seeing the Starling City vigilantes leaving the scene."

Frank finished his drink, throwing down the glass angrily, making it shatter.

Helena walked closer, turning the TV off. "Bad year? The Scotch, I mean."

Frank kissed her hand. "Yeah, sorry. Another business setback."

"Well, the vigilantes seem to have nothing better to do than to stop the bad guys and try to save people," Helena told him.

Frank's cellphone rang. He picked it up, answering. "Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I heard about Venza. Yeah, I know where that leaves us."

Helena smirked smugly, walking away, leaving.

Queen Mansion - Moira's Room

Moira was getting ready to leave, speaking with Walter. "I'm sorry to rush out. I have this impromptu board of directors meeting with the Starling City modern art museum." Walter was looking at the paper with the symbol, closing it. "I don't know much about art, but I do know how to pay for it."

Moira walked toward him.

"No worries," Walter told her. "Whip them into shape."

"Yes, sir," Moira told him. "I'll see you when I get back."

Moira walked out, leaving.

Queen Industrial - Basement

Jill was at the hideout, after having changed into regular clothes, grabbing her jacket, walking toward the exit.

Oliver walked toward Jill. "Hey, where you headed?"

"To see if I can find Helena and stop her from making a mistake," Jill answered.

"Well, I think you can have the rest of the night off, right?" Oliver asked. "I may have found out that Helena is under guard at her home with her father. And you've both said it yourselves. She doesn't want to harm him. She wants to take everything away from him."

"What are you up to?" Jill asked.

"Tommy asked me to come meet up with him and Laurel and this restaurant that is crazy expensive and the lines are always long," Oliver explained. "He would take care of it himself, except for his father, Malcolm Merlyn, froze all of his assets, so he can't do anything that he used to do."

Jill was surprised. "Oh."

"And I was hoping that you would come with me, so it wouldn't be awkward between the three of us," Oliver told her.

"Why would it be awkward?" Jill asked.

"Because they're starting to date," Oliver answered.

Jill chuckled out of surprise. "Your best friend and your ex-girlfriend, the sister of the girl that you cheated on her with. Got it."

"So, what do you say?" Oliver asked.

"I say that you're right," I told him. "I can't resist helping." Oliver chuckled. Jill nodded. "Let's go."

Queen Mansion - Moira's Room

Walter was searching for anything he could get his hands on to snoop, going through drawers and boxes, checking for hidden doors. He saw a picture of him and Moira, picking it up to look at it. He sighed, looking up at the grandfather clock, putting the picture back, walking toward the clock, opening the case, pulling out a box from inside, opening it to reveal a journal, taking it out, closing the box, putting it back, opening the journal to see the symbol on the front cover on the inside. He saw that the pages were seemingly empty.

Table Salt

(Song:) Blind (Salva Remix) - Rainbow Arabia 

There was loud music playing in the restaurant to keep everyone in line waiting for their table quiet and composed and to keep them easy while they waited impatiently for their tables.

Tommy and Laurel were in line.

Tommy checked his watch. "Well, it's only been thirty minutes. That's not too bad for an opening."

"If they don't seat us soon, I'm going to write a horrible review online," Laurel told him.

Tommy rubbed her arms comfortingly. "Let me see what I can do." He walked toward the hostess. "Hey. I'm loving the Cavalli. Uh, look, I'm Tommy Merlyn. Is there any way that we can go to the head of the class?"

"Is there?" the hostess asked.

Tommy reached for his credit card when he remembered his accounts were frozen, sighing in frustration. "Let us know when our table's ready, okay?" The hostess nodded. Tommy walked toward Laurel. "Maybe you can eat some of those fancy peanuts from behind the bar."

Oliver and Jill walked in.

"Hey," Jill told them.

"Hi," Oliver told them. "It's the two of you."

"And the two of you," Laurel told them. "I didn't expect to see you here, Jill."

"Yeah, it was kind of last minute," Jill told them.

"You look so pretty," Laurel told her.

"Thank you," Jill told her. "Likewise."

Laurel smiled.

Tommy chuckled.

The hostess walked toward them. "Mr. Queen, your table is ready."

"When is our table gonna be ready?" Laurel asked.

"When it is," the hostess answered.

Jill looked at Tommy and Laurel. "Why don't you join us?"

"We'd love to," Laurel told them.

"That'll be great," Tommy told them. "That sounds great."

The hostess led them away.

Oliver, Jill, Laurel and Tommy were sitting at the table.

Oliver looked at Tommy. "I had forgotten that you filled your parents' pool with beer. How many cases did that take?"

"Roughly a thousand or so," Tommy answered.

Laurel chuckled.

Jill smiled a small smile.

"You know, your father was so pissed, I thought he was actually going to drown you in it," Oliver told him.

"Yeah, well, death by beer?" Tommy asked. "There's worse ways to go." He looked at Jill. "Right, Jill?"

Tommy took a drink.

Jill sighed. "Well, there are no good ways to die. You three have a lot of history."

Laurel chuckled. "Sometimes a little too much. So, how's the night club coming along?"

"Slower than I expected it to," Oliver answered. "I've, uh, I've been busy."

"Well, then you must be happy to have the extra help, then," Laurel told him, looking from Oliver to Jill. "I think it's great that you're deciding to help Oliver with the night club."

"Well, I don't have much to do, and I kind of need the money," Jill told them. "I mean, the Queens have been so gracious to take me in, but I need to go my own way eventually."

Laurel nodded understandingly. "And what about the help from Tommy?"

"What do you mean?" Oliver asked.

"Laurel, I'm sure that Oliver and Jill don't want to talk about work right now," Tommy told her.

"You didn't ask him?" Laurel asked.

"Ask me what?" Oliver asked.

"Tommy wanted--Tommy said that he was gonna talk to you about working for you at your night club," Laurel told him.

"Tommy, you working for me, that could be fun," Oliver told him.

"I don't feel so good," Tommy told them. "I'm gonna step outside."

Tommy stood, walking away.

"I should probably go check on him," Laurel told them, standing, walking away.

Jill looked at Oliver. "Well, that went swimmingly."

Elsewhere

Tommy and Laurel walked toward the front of the restaurant.

"Tommy, why are you so upset?" Laurel asked.

"Why did you have to say something to them about the job?" Tommy replied.

"You were supposed to talk to them," Laurel told him.

"Well, I hadn't," Tommy told her.

"Okay, I didn't realize," Laurel told him. "I was only trying to help."

Tommy turned to face her. "No, you were trying to get Oliver to help. It's typical Laurel. Always running to a white knight. I do not want to be a charity case, okay? To every day be reminded that I can't give you everything that you deserve? You know, losing a fortune I think is going to be easier than losing you, so why don't we just stop now?"

Tommy walked away, leaving.

Laurel watched him go, sad and upset and confused by why he was so upset.

Laurel's Apartment

(Song:) Free Like You Make Me - Cary Brothers 

Laurel opened the door to find Tommy waiting outside.

"I came to apologize," Tommy told her. Laurel let him inside, closing the door. "I know you were just trying to help. I guess I wasn't ready to face reality. This is just so new, you and me, and I didn't want you to see... I'm scared." Laurel turned to face him. "I'm almost 30 years old, and I've never been given an ounce of responsibility in my life. You? You are driven and intelligent. You're a million times too good for me, even before I was broke. And now I have absolutely nothing to bring to whatever this is."

"I never cared about the money," Laurel told him. "And truth be told, billionaire was your least attractive quality. I am so sorry if I pushed you too hard on the job with Oliver. I just... I thought you working for him was a good idea because he's your friend. And it's okay to ask a friend for help. You won't lose your street cred."

"I'm happy to lose my street cred," Tommy told her. "I just don't want to lose you."

Laurel fixed his tie. "Well, I'm not saying that it's gonna be easy..." She wrapped her arms around his neck. "But I'm here for you if you need someone to lean on. That's what people do when they're together."

"Together like boyfriend-girlfriend?" Tommy asked.

Laurel closed her eyes. "Mm. Do not ruin this moment." They smiled. "It was going so well for you."

Laurel laughed, kissing Tommy deeply. Tommy deepened the kiss passionately.

Queen Industrial - Basement

Jill was at the hideout, getting suited up.

Oliver was watching from nearby, getting suited up.

John and Justin walked closer.

"Didn't expect you to come back here tonight," John told them.

Jill sighed. "I think you're right."

"Okay," Justin told her. "About which part?"

"About all of it," Jill answered. "I should've listened to you."

"What made you change your mind?" Oliver asked.

Jill turned to give Oliver a look. "You know that it was you bringing me to the dinner with Tommy and Laurel, seeing them, seeing how light they were before things got so heavy. Just like you knew that I would see what you wanted me to see."

"Well, that's what you get for being so close to a manipulative billionaire," John told her. "He knows what to do to get you to see things his way."

Jill gave Justin and John a look. "Don't act like I believe that you two weren't apart of the plan."

Justin chuckled barely. He returned serious, walking closer. "Jill, you said you wanted to help her change. The thing is, she already did change. When her father killed her fiance, she changed into something dark and twisted. You see that now, don't you?"

"It's not that I--It's not that I couldn't see it, Justin," Jill told him. "I didn't--I didn't want to. I--I just wanted to help her, because for the longest time, no one was there to help me."

"But you can't stop her from going over the edge," John told her. "She's--she's already past it."

"I get that you want to help her," Oliver told her. "I do. But not everyone wants to be helped. Not everyone can be saved. She doesn't want to. So let's go stop her."

Jill sighed, nodding.

Warehouse

Four men from the Chinese Triad, Zhishan included, were playing poker and smoking.

A phone rang.

Man 1 answered the phone in Chinese. "Hello?"

Another man's voice was on the other line, speaking in Chinese. "Get out of there!"

Helena/Huntress kicked in the door, walking in, raising her gun, shooting Man 1 and Man 2, making them fall dead. Man 3 stood, trying to punch Helena. Helena ducked, flipping him to the floor, standing, turning to face Zhishan.

Zhishan spoke in Chinese, an old Chinese proverb. "When you seek vengeance, dig two graves. One for your enemy, and one for yourself."

"I don't speak Chinese, so I'm just gonna assume you said goodbye," Helena told him, raising two guns, shooting Zhishan in the chest, killing him, making him fall. She turned to face Man 3, kneeling next to him. "Tell your mistresses Frank Bertinelli sends his regards."

Helena smirked, standing, walking out, leaving.

Queen Consolidated - Walter's Office

Walter was sitting at his desk, thinking.

Felicity walked in. "You wanted to see me, Mr. Steele?" Walter looked up. "Did I mention, it's almost Christmas, and many of the suicides this time of year are due to sudden and unexpected joblessness?"

Walter slid Moira's journal across the desk toward her. "I want you to find out all you can about that notebook." Felicity walked closer. "Where it was made, how it was purchased, and what it could mean."

"Yes, sir," Felicity told him.

"Felicity, I asked Josiah Hudson, our head of security, to look into the same subject matter," Walter told her. "He died the next day under questionable circumstances. What I may be asking of you, this mystery, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I hate mysteries," Felicity told him. "They bug me. They need to be solved. And if you're worried about my safety, need I remind you that you hired my brother as a bodyguard? Ex-military, self-defense-class instructor, police consultant. No matter my brother's flaws, if I know one thing about him, it's that he's very capable of protecting someone."

Felicity walked out, leaving.

Walter sighed thoughtfully.

Warehouse

Jill/Sapphire an Oliver/Arrow stood together, coming across the scene in the warehouse where the leader of the Triad was dead on the ground, and some of his guys that were there.

Jill called John and Justin.

John and Justin were in the hideout.

"Hey," Justin told them. "What's the situation?"

"War," Jill answered.

Jill and Oliver looked at each other, sighing.

Bertinelli House - Living Room

Frank was sitting down, on the phone.

A man's voice was on the other line. "Boss, we just got word. Somebody hit Zhishan. He's dead."

Frank sighed worriedly. "All right. Then we know what's coming next. Tell everyone to strap up."

Frank hung up.

Karma / Cobra:

Kira / Viper: 

Outside

Guard 1 was keeping watch.

China popped up behind him, suited up, slitting his throat with two knives, letting him fall dead. She looked at Kira and Karma, who were also suited up, speaking in Chinese. "Leave no one alive."

Kira and Karma walked along toward the house.

Other Triad members were killing other guards outside.

Guard 2 stood at the door, speaking into his radio. "Ricco's not answering his walkie. Check it out."

Triad member 1 approached him from behind, stabbing him in the back with a knife, making him fall dead.

Everyone walked inside.

Inside - Foyer

Kira and Karma walked upstairs.

An arrow was shot toward them.

Kira and Karma ducked, making the arrow hit the shoulder of the Triad man behind them, making him fall downstairs. They turned to Oliver/Arrow.

Oliver/Arrow and Kira and Karma faced off, ready to fight.

➣

Living Room

Frank heard the gunfire of the firefight through out the house. He opened a hidden door in the wall, revealing a safe, working the combination. 

➣

Foyer

Oliver/Arrow swung his bow toward Karma to try and hit her. Karma ducked, spinning to kick him in the head. Kira used her staff to hit Oliver in the back. Oliver tried to shoot Karma with an arrow. Karma ducked to the side to make him miss, slashing into him with knuckle knives.

Living Room

Frank opened the safe, pulling out a laptop, standing, turning to put it into a case, closing the case.

There was more gunfire.

➣

Foyer

Kira used her staff to hit Oliver in the back of the head, trying to hit him again. Oliver used his bow to block the move, kicking her in the stomach, making her back away. Karma ran toward Oliver, tackling him down the stairs, making them both roll down the steps. 

➣

Hallway

Frank walked out of the living room, trying to sneak out of the house.

China found him, pushing him against the wall. "Frank Bertinelli. This is for Zhishan."

China raised the knife to stab him.

Jill/Sapphire threw a knife into her wrist to make her drop her knife. China turned to face her. Jill threw a knife into her leg, making her fall to her knees.

Frank turned to aim a gun at Jill.

"Run," Jill told him, sensing two men behind her, turning to throw a knife into Man 1's shoulder, making him back away into the wall, punching Man 2 in the face, pushing him to the floor.

Frank was confused as to why Jill was letting him go, walking away, leaving.

Jill knew that Helena was gonna go after him, following him, letting Oliver deal with the Triad inside.

➣

Foyer

Oliver and Karma stood.

Frank's men tried to shoot them, making them both duck for cover.

Oliver turned to shoot Man 3 and Man 4 in the shoulders with arrows, turning to shoot Man 5 in the leg, making them all fall.

Karma punched Man 6 in the face with her knuckle knives, slashing the small, small blades into his cheek, making him fall.

Kira jumped over the railing to the floor in front of Man 7, landing in a crouch, standing, spinning to hit him in the head with her staff, turning to hit Man 8 in the stomach with it.

Oliver was confused as to why they weren't going for killing moves like the other Triads.

➣

Outside

Frank was running across the lawn.

Helena/Huntress walked closer with a gun, shooting him in the shoulder, making him fall and drop his briefcase with the laptop. She walked closer, pulling off her mask.

Frank turned to see his daughter standing there. "Helena. What is this?"

"Payback for Michael," Helena answered. "I know you had him killed. Salvati told me."

"I did that to protect the family," Frank told her.

"I had to take everything away from you because you took everything away from me," Helena told him. "You finally know what it feels like. Your own blood is responsible for the death of your entire world."

Helena stood over Frank, aiming the gun at him.

Jill/Sapphire arrived behind her. She threw a knife at the gun in Helena's hand, making her drop it. Helena turned to face her, walking closer, scoffing, shaking her head, spinning to try to kick her. Jill ducked, using the smooth side of her sword to knock her legs out from under her, making her fall to the ground without injury from the sword. Helena stood, jumping her. Jill flipped both of them to the ground. They both stood. Helena tried to punch her. Jill ducked, punching her twice, grabbing her, kneeing her in the stomach, flipping her to the ground. They both stood.

Frank aimed the gun at Helena.

"No!" Jill told him. Frank shot Helena in the shoulder, making her fall to the ground. Jill punched Frank in the face hard enough to make him fall unconscious. "Helena?" She walked toward her. "Helena."

Jill heard sirens in the distance, helping Helena stand, getting her away.

Police arrived to the scene.

Hilton, Lance and Jessica ran closer, looking at Frank and the laptop on the ground.

Queen Industrial - Basement

Helena was lying on the table in the hideout.

Jill was standing nearby, waiting for her to wake up.

Helena woke, gasping in pain.

"Helena, easy, easy," Jill told her. "You were lucky."

"Am I supposed to be grateful?" Helena asked.

Jill sighed. "Helena--"

"He's a monster," Helena told her. "A criminal." She sat up. "Why would you save him?"

Jill walked closer. "I didn't save him. I saved you. You think that because you've killed, you understand what it's like to have blood on your hands. You don't understand. You don't understand the toll that it takes on you, especially when it's family."

"I'm not going to stop," Helena told her.

"The police have him in custody," Jill told her. "He's going to jail, and then on to prison."

"They don't have any evidence on him," Helena told her.

"They do now," Jill told her.

Helena realized what she meant. "The laptop."

"He's going away, Helena, for the rest of his life," Jill told her. "This is the difference between you and me. This... is justice."

Helena stood, walking toward the stairs. "Then I guess you were right. I'm more interested in revenge. Stay out of my way, Jill, or I'll make sure your secret doesn't stay secret."

Jill sighed, walking toward her. "What I did, everything that I've done, I've done because whether you believe it or not, you need help. You may not want it, but that's different from needing it."

Helena didn't answer, walking out, leaving.

Big Belly Burger

(Song:) I Was Wrong - Sleeperstar 

Jill was sitting at a table, obviously in normal clothes, eating without tasting or feeling anything.

Oliver walked toward her, sitting across from her. "Chili cheese fries with jalapenos and water from the girl that could give Lindsey Lohan a run for her money. Hmm. That's a cry for help if I've ever seen one."

Jill sighed. "I don't know what hurts worse. This or getting shot with a Curare-laced bullet."

"Been there, done that," Oliver told her. "Definitely the bullet." Jill barely managed a chuckle, looking down, sighing. "You know, Jill, I'm no expert at this, but... so things didn't work out exactly as you planned. You did save Frank Bertinelli's life. He'll be doing time for a while. Justice wins out."

Jill nodded. She sighed, shaking her head. "Helena doesn't see it that way."

"Well, here's the way I see it," Oliver told her. "We see her again, and we both take her out. And by 'take her out', I mean, 'take her down'. We don't have to kill her." Jill looked up curiously. Oliver nodded. "You were right. A few months ago, I would've killed that guy the other night. But I didn't. Because of you. You saved me. And you thought that you could save Helena. It's not your fault that you couldn't. It was just different for her. And too late."

Jill pressed her lips together, nodding. "The thing is, I could've ended up like her. If I was alone, and if you weren't around, if I was on my own... I could have been her."

Oliver shook his head. "No. You never could have." Jill looked up. "You're too good for that." Jill couldn't help a small smile, looking down. Oliver chuckled. "See?" Jill chuckled, looking up. "You have too much light in you to have that much darkness."

'You know just what to say, huh?" Jill asked.

Oliver shook his head. "No. Not normally. But when it's the truth, I do."

Jill thought for a moment, sliding the tray of food toward the middle of the table to share.

They smiled, chuckling, starting to eat together.

"What are you doing?" Walter asked.

"It needs to be dark in here if we're gonna do this," Felicity told him, walking closer. "If I had had more time to think of that sentence, it wouldn't have sounded so dirty." She handed Moira's journal to Walter. "Look."

Walter flipped through the pages. "I don't see anything."

Felicity showed him infrared glasses. "I got these from applied sciences. They're able to pick up the subvisible variations in the UV spectrum." Walter put the glasses on. "Now look at the book again."

Walter looked through the book, seeing the list of names, frowning in confusion.

Oliver was looking out of the window.

Tommy walked in.

Oliver turned to face him. "Hi."

"Now, look, I'm sorry about tonight," Tommy told him.

"It just--I let it get too far," Oliver told him. "I'm sorry."

"No, I was stupid," Tommy told him. "I told you that my dad cut me off."

Oliver nodded in agreement. "Right. Which is why you asked for help on getting a table."

"Right," Tommy agreed. "But asking help for a table and asking for a job are two very different things."

"Why didn't you just ask me?" Oliver asked.

"Embarrassment, shame, jealousy, probably a few other emotions I'm not used to feeling," Tommy answered.

"Tommy, my trust fund is your trust fund," Oliver told him.

Tommy sighed, shaking his head. "No. That is the easy answer. And believe me, I have loved easy answers. What I need is a job." Oliver nodded in understanding. "I'm trying to change. Not sure into what yet, but... I don't want to be what I was anymore."

"I get it," Oliver told him. "And it just so happens that I have a general manager position that is available. You're probably the guy for the job."

"Will I be getting dental?" Tommy asked. "This smile wasn't cheap."

"I'll look into that," Oliver told him.

"Thank you," Tommy told him. "I..." They smiled, hugging. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Oliver told him. They pulled away. "You okay?"

"I will be," Tommy answered. "So, about dinner... I asked you to come to get us a table. Wasn't exactly expecting you to bring Jill."

"Well, at least she made things a little less awkward," Oliver told him.

Tommy chuckled in agreement, nodding. "That's for sure. But as far as dates go, she's a high number up."

Oliver chuckled. "Tommy, you are as bad as my sisters."

They laughed, walking away to get drinks.

"You doing okay?" John asked. "I mean, you're not taking all of this as hard as I thought you would, and that's saying something."

Jill paused, taking a breath. "I am taking it better knowing that I'm not being blamed for my choices and decisions."

"Jill, how could we blame you for wanting to save someone from themselves?" Justin asked. "You have a good heart. Not saying that Helena does, but..."

"Yeah, I know what you all think of her," Jill told them. She turned to face them. "And we did fight. I did stop her from killing her father. But I regret letting her go. I have a feeling that we'll be seeing her again."
