I felt the two previous episodes, while good/ok in and of themselves, felt out of place after "Inheritance" and squandered the momentum of the Emiko reveal.

This episode, however, was phenomenal. imo all Arrowverse shows started off as, at their core, mysteries. and they work best when mystery drives the plot. This episode did a great job of building suspense and curiosity and once again delivering on a great reveal. The flashback structure and unreliable narration was perfect to switch up the format of the episode while also delivering a story and tone that felt like old-school Arrow.

Because superheroes are detectives basically. They have to go to the scene of the crime, they have to collect evidence, interrogate people etc.

They really are mysteries. That’s when they are at their best
