Recap

The two members of the Hive Council, Phaedra Nixon and Milo Armitage, meet with Damien. While they wait, they discuss what to do with Damien now that he's escaped. Milo insists that he's created a contingency, just as Damien arrives with Malcolm, Damien, and Murmur. Damien points out that Malcolm has told him what the Council did to him, and he says that he had a lot of time to consider things. He asks if his imprisonment delayed Genesis, and Milo assures him that it didn't. Satisfied, Damien asks why he needs them. Milo fires at him, and Damien magically catches the bullet and sends it back into Milo's head. Damien kills Phaedra and tells the members watching on the cameras that it's time to begin Genesis...

Episode Quotes
Damien: I had a lot of time to reflect while I was in prison, mostly about religion, and bundt cake.

Felicity: So if you know Dahrk, why haven't you tried to end him?
Esrin Fortuna: That's not the way of things. We immortals tend to stay out of the affairs of men.
Felicity: Unless someone owes you money.

Damien: You seem like a likable guy, Oliver. I bet you got a lot of friends. I'm going to enjoy killing every last one of them.

Damien: After Laurel, I let you alone to grieve. I was being nice. You have no idea how much I hate being nice.

Diggle: Andy told me that Genesis is coming.
Felicity: I don't think so. Phil Collins said they'd never tour again.



Cultural References
Thea: Well, I'm not just saying this because I love Harry Potter, but why are we not all taking those lesson?

Harry Potter is the boy wizard in the seven J.K. Rowling novels that spawned eight successful movies. Initially a novice mage, Harry develops to become one of the most powerful wizards of his generation and battles the evil Lord Voldemort.
