While initially choosing to work together, Hunter and the Legends part ways when Sara (Caity Lotz) refuses to allow a witch (Courtney Ford) to resurrect Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough), under the Arrow logic of since it worked once let’s do the same thing again… and again… and again, while Rip wants to allow the ceremony to take place in order to draw out his real prey.
