Arrow Non-Spoiler Review: The Man Under the Hood

There’s only five episodes left of season two of Arrow, and “The Man Under the Hood” hits the ground running in this final sprint….Or should that be a marathon? The series is finally done with skip weeks, fill-ins, sporting event-related pre-emptions and reruns, and will kick off five new episodes in a row this week, culminating with the finale.Now that some of the women in Ollie’s life know more of his secrets, things may never be the same. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone paying attention up to this point that both Laurel and Thea’s reactions to last week’s major revelations will play a big role in this episode (and presumably in the season going forward), although they don’t do it at the expense of the show’s A plot, which remains Team Arrow’s battle against Deathstroke.
