Recap

Cupid captures a newlywed couple and ties them up, and they promise not to tell anyone if she lets them go. She's amused by their agreement, and asks how much that they love them. When they say that they love the other more than anything in the world, Cupid says that it's pathetic and quotes Deadshot, saying that love is a bullet to the brain. She then shoots them both in the heart...

Episode Quotes
Cupid: Til death do us part. Don't worry. You won't have to wait that long.

Reiter: The difference between insanity and belief lies only in the number of believers.

Oliver: Felicity... before I met you, I had a plan. I had a way that I was gonna be. Bu then you walked into my life. Or, I--I... showed up at your cubicle and you changed everything. I was in darkness. But with your kindness, your generosity, your compassion, your intelligence, your wit, and your trust... you brought me into the light. You let me know... that I deserved it. You were that light. And I don't know if I still deserve that trust... if I deserve you. I probably don't. But whatever has happened, whatever will happen, the way that you make me feel is the best part of my life. You can ask me to say that I don't love you... that I will never lie to you again. You are my always. And I just want the chance to be yours.

Felicity: Because love is life itself. And if I die tonight... it'll be okay because I was one of those people lucky enough to have experienced it. From the moment he walked itno my life, everything changed. I became a person that I didn't even know I was capable of becoming. I became the very best version of myself. That would never have been possible without our love. Our love gives my life meaning. It gives my life purpose. And it... brings us more joy than you can ever take away from us. And it's worth living for. All of it.

Oliver: That's not exactly how I pictured our wedding day.
Felicity: I don't know. Being kidnapped by psychotic criminals has sort of been the theme of our relationship.
