- Quotes
Slade Wilson: So instead of marrying the blonde, you marry Ra's al Ghul's daughter?
Oliver Queen: Uh... Nyssa talks too much.
Slade Wilson: She hasn't explained your beef with Chase.
Oliver Queen: My past is coming back to haunt me.
Slade Wilson: Seems to be a recurring theme with you, kid.
Oliver Queen: I don't know why.
Slade Wilson: It's not really complicated. You suffer from survivor's guilt. You can't get over the death of your father.
Oliver Queen: Adrian Chase has nothing to do with my father.
Slade Wilson: Kid, when it comes to you, everything has to do with your father. You and I are not dissimilar. We are both wanted by our pasts, and the only way to bury that ghost is by forgiving yourself.
Oliver Queen: Forgiving myself for what?
Slade Wilson: You blame yourself for your father's suicide and everything else that has gone wrong since. You need to forgive yourself for your sins.
Oliver Queen: You say that like it's easy.
Slade Wilson: It is the hardest thing in this world.

Now, coming to the finale, "Missing" set it up quite well. The team up (more like squad up) was a great idea. I thought the writers were just desperate, in bringing back all the fan favourite characters (like the pointless 100th episode which just played on nostalgia, and served no purpose). But, I was wrong. The twists keep coming, and the episode keeps you hooked. It was satisfying to see Deathstroke helping Ollie, and him truly feeling regret for the things he'd done ( I didn't think it would be convincing, but they pulled it off). Most of the cast get a chance to shine, esp Quentin who just killed it with one liner about Siren. The sisters fight could've been better TBH, it was too short, and unconvincing that too for someone with Talia's stature. But, the final moments with Chase, and Ollie were really interesting. You do get bored with the "everyone around you, everything you touch" line, but the dude has a point.
The climax leaves the characters in an interesting place, I would like to see how they go from here. Really excited about season 6 :)
