IGN:
Arrow wrapped up a two-part story arc this week as Oliver Queen and Helena Bertinelli became first partners in the war on crime and then enemies when their goals clashed. Before the end, the two managed to spark a war between the Triads and the Bertinelli crime family and cause some friction in the developing romance between Tommy and Laurel. All in all, a busy week for Starling City's vigilante hero.
6.5/10
I think the show is coming along just fine and pacing itself.
