“What I know, Oliver, is that you started something, something strong enough to live on past you. Question is, can you live with what it’s become?”

Arrow - Canaries

No more secrets. Finding a way to work through major plot points naturally over the course of a single episode “Canaries” continues a shift in the show as Oliver (Stephen Amell) must face the fact that the war on crime in Starling City isn’t only his any more. It takes a fight with Laurel (Katie Cassidy), an argument with Roy (Colton Haynes), and some sound advice by Diggle (David Ramsey) to force the green-hooded hero to realize the city and team he’s returned to isn’t the same one he left.

Person of Interest - Guilty

Following Shaw‘s (Sarah Shahi) apparent death and Root‘s (Amy Acker) departure Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) get down to basics agreeing to spare anyone else from the fallout of their enterprise. The latest number comes in the form of a member (Blair Brown) of a jury which Finch gets assigned to as well. Given the high-profile defendant is on trial for what looks like an open-and-shut case for the murder of his wife, Finch assumes he’s the one pressuring their latest number into forcing a verdict in his favor. With some coaching from Zoe Morgan (Paige Turco), whose help Reese can’t turn down, Finch learns all he needs to help sway the jury to a guilty verdict… except that’s exactly what the people blackmailing their latest number want.

Marvel's Agent Carter - A Sin to Err

Three-fourths of the way through its up-and-down eight-episode run Agent Carter finally turns a corner by catching Peggy (Hayley Atwell) and the various agents of the SSR on events and plotlines the audience has been fully aware of for weeks. Last week’s episode returning the Howling Commandos from Captain America: The First Avenger shuck a bit of the rust off the show by giving Peggy an opportunity to prove herself in the field far from the oppressive confines of the SSR. It also introduced Dottie (Bridget Regan) as an agent of Leviathan which is further explored here.

Pretty Little Liars - Out, Damned Spot

With Aria (Lucy Hale) obsessed with finding out what Mike (Cody Allen Christian) is up to, she and two of the other Liars will eventually uncover a secret meeting between Aria’s brother and Alison‘s (Sasha Pieterse) patsy Cyrus Petrillo (Jake Weary) raising even more questions as to whose side Mike is on. The fact that he delivered vials of blood from Aria, Spencer, and Hanna (Ashley Benson) which could be used to frame them for having a hand in Mona‘s (Janel Parrish) definitely seems to suggest that Mike is now working for A (who we see begin to make use of the blood in the episode’s closing scene).

The Flash - The Nuclear Man

After teasing us for weeks slowly putting the pieces together about what happened to Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell) The Flash finally turns its attention to Firestorm whose growing instability endangers all of Central City. Although the main storyline gives the episode its name, promises to cause the return of General Wade Eiling (Clancy Brown), and offers more insight to the mind/body combination of Ronnie and Dr. Martin Stein (Victor Garber), the episode’s various subplots may have more lasting impact on Barry‘s (Grant Gustin) life.
