    It was shown at the very end of season 2 when you see Oliver talk to Slade in his cell. When he leaves the cell, it shows that the cell is on the island, and that Oliver, Diggle, and Felicity traveled there by helicopter.

    The flashbacks in this show are getting worse and worse. I don't know how many more times we can go back for 'lesson of the week, from the past' to move forward this weeks storyline.

    Having occassional flashbacks is fine, every episode, for what feels like half an episode, is just poor writing. Not every thing has to relate to something from Ollie's past. If flashbacks are necessary, can't we at least see it to reasons why Meryln is so scared of Ra's? I feel the Ra's is being criminally underwritten, there is no gravitas to the character or fear for any main characters safety. No matter how much boogeyman hype from Meryln that's been delivered so far actually makes me, as a viewer, worried about Team Arrow going up against him. Give us a a reason to fear Ra's. Gotta say that if Season 4 starts off anything like Season 3, i'm hopping off the train. This show's had a marked decline in quality.

    Wait, so Arrow is not taking a break? That doesn't make sense. Why have Flash take a break but not Arrow?

    Anyway, awesome to see Slade again.

    Probably the cost and time of CGI Grodd showing up.

    my wife said the exact same thing during the show. i told her "well, oliver is finally back home so hopefully that means we are all caught up so no more breaking up the momentum of what is going on on screen with another 'so this is why i use a green arrow instead of a yellow arrow' cut sceen".

    Arrow going to have a break. It has too, May sweeps and all. Just that it's will be after episode 15 rather than 14.

    That would exact opposite reason to take a break.

    Yeah, I agree the flashbacks really aren't as griping as they were compared to season 1 and 2. Which is funny because the flashbacks was exactly the reason why I decided to stick around for season 1.

    Seems like Oliver would take Thea out on patrol with him to give her field training.Its one thing knowing you won't die and another to know some random thug could just shot you.

    Laural is the worst. Thea is way less annoying despite her shit going on. Laural cannot do anything right.

    Why? They're the only ones actually being reasonable compared to Oliver.

    Seriously, Oliver took too many stupid pills this episode.
