(And, well, for narrative convenience, it sure doesnt hurt either.)

Save for a conspicuous sewer access grate, which Felicity confirms should not be there.

And so the team splits up to cover every aspect of Darhks plan.

Topside, Felicity is working alongside her father to prevent Rubicon from destroying the world.

Why does he believe that?

While the hackathon gets underway, Oliver and Diggle are searching the streets of Darhkville.

He sneaks in, taking down the two Ghosts guarding her and freeing Thea from her restraints.

Surprisingly, hes met with a kick to the guy from Thea, who holds her brother at gunpoint.

Shes been drugged by Malcolm, who needed her to comply so he could maintain order.

NEXT: An ark devastated by Anarky.

They must be found and they must be killed, she says.

The family tries to get Oliver and Diggle caught, yelling out their location before theyre quickly silenced.

Diggle has no time for their antics, his edge still not gone from having to kill his brother.

This family hasnt taken any of Darhks brain-altering pills.

Theyre under no spell.

They simply believe in his message.

The word is beyond saving.

Damien gives them hope, and his grand displays of power and resources give them plenty of inspiration.

She never gives up when they fight together, and he doesnt want her to give up now.

Broadcasting live, he shows Ruve and Darhks daughter tied up.

Oliver immediately springs into hero mode, wanting to confirm as many lives as possible are saved.

They find him taunting Ruve, with Anarky recalling the last time he had her hostage to bait Darhk.

Above them, Malcolm is ushering civilians out as geysers of fire erupt from the street.

Rubble falls onto Ruve, while Oliver has to spring into action to help keep Damiens daughter safe.

Anarky uses the cover of the commotion to escape, while Diggle takes her away as Oliver investigates Ruve.

In her dying breaths, she asks Oliver to keep her daughter safe, and he agrees.

NEXT: Damien Darhks plans are far from over.

Hes sending electrical surges their way, but they trace it back and reverse it with Curtis help.

His terminal explodes, and the father-daughter-daughters-former-employee team take control once again.

And Donna does so again.

She confronts him at Floods end, asking him to leave and not come back.

Actually, danger isnt so much around the corner as it is in the very room with her.
