Part 1: The Plot, Themes and Characters

• What was the overall theme? What was the link to the episode’s name?
• • Docket No. 11-19-41-73
  • • Oliver’s case number
    • Reference: The character Green Arrow first appeared in More Fun Comics #73, published in November 1941. That’s right, “Docket No. 11-19-41-73” refers to Green Arrow’s first ever appearance. The story, “Case of the Namesake Murders”, is written by Green Arrow creator Mort Weisinger and introduced both Oliver Queen/Green Arrow and his sidekick, Roy Harper/Speedy.
    • Tonight’s ‘Arrow’ Title Is a Major DC Comics Easter Egg (3 May 2018) http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/05/03/arrow-season-6-episode-21-dc-comics-easter-egg/
• Fight scenes and stunts
• • Diggle parachutes into Kasnia
  • • Shoots a lot of people on his way slowly down
    • Grenades; exploding truck goes over his head
    • Rescues Chance
• The Trial – why do trials in the Arrowverse only happen in a day?
• • Trial on TV
  • Judge is in the pocket of Diaz
  • Prosecutor Alexa Von Owen not in Diaz’s pocket
  • • Played by Catherine Dent, who’s also on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0219748/?ref_=tt_cl_t11)
  • Oliver refuses deal
  • Curtis not subpoenaed
  • Black Siren says she would testify to Green Arrow’s identity; Diaz wanted her to say Oliver was GA during Quentin’s interview
  • Felicity thanks the Newbies for showing up. *Ugh*
  • Raisa knows!!!!
  • Diggle late
  • Parade of Perjurers:
  • • Dr. Elisa Schwartz: I didn’t see who GA was when BC injured
    • Diggle: 2012-16 I was his bodyguard, kept him safe. List of strange injuries.
    • Dinah: Drug dealer she killed in Hub City; she pleads the 5th
    • Felicity: Oliver tries to stop her from testifying; she does anyway; Van Owen brings up that he dad’s the Calculator, and if she wasn’t aware that her father had a secret, then she maybe she doesn’t know about Oliver; lies about not committing cyber crime
    • Oliver: Roy Harper not a vigilante; I know who GA is, but won’t reveal identity, even if he has to go to jail; has to tell the truth about not being on Lian Yu for the whole 5 years; if lied to public about those 5 years, then lying now
    • “Tommy Merlyn” bursts in during Oliver’s testimony (cool and dramatic, but falling glass could have hurt people)
    • “Tommy Merlyn” – I am Green Arrow; I don’t want someone else to ruin their life to protect me. I faked my death because of what Dad did. Rene and Diggle free “Tommy” after he’s arrested; “Tommy” turns out to be Chance
    • Diaz has Chance’s CIA file – bug in bunker; Cayden James intel
    • Laurel – Tommy is Green Arrow
  • Rene: doesn’t want Oliver to go to jail
  • • Willing to break plea deal and go to jail
    • Ready to say Oliver isn’t GA, then Diaz comes in with Zoe; Oliver nods to Rene, and Rene tells truth
    • Has the idea to use Chance to be the judge
    • One good idea makes everything okay now
  • Oliver tells Jean Loring the truth; she wants him to have his “I am Iron Man” moment and highlight how he has saved the city; he refuses because he doesn’t want to put a target on his family; thought one day the mission would end and he could have a regular life after
  • Oliver tells Felicity to go to ARGUS protective custody if lose trial
  • Oliver tells William the truth; Felicity will make sure William becomes a good man
• Trial ends
• • Verdict: Guilty
  • Loring calls for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict
  • • Definition: reversal of a jury’s verdict by the trial judge when the judge believes there was no factual basis for the verdict or it was contrary to law. The judge will then enter a different verdict as “a matter of law.”

• • • http://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1061
  • Judge – evidence so conflicting, reasonable doubt; judge is Chance
  • • Real judge shot by Diaz
• Quentin and Laurel (and Diaz)
• • Quentin – Laurel, you need to stand up to him
  • Laurel – maybe if your Laurel was smarter, she would be alive
  • Laurel – no poker face around Diaz; he notices she’s been different since burning guy; he chokes her
  • Laurel lies on stand, goes to Diaz, attacks; he has a thing that stops her
• Diggle and Dinah try to knock Diaz around, but all of the cops on are Diaz’s side, so this was pointless
• Diaz: Plan A didn’t work; Plan B – kill everyone
