The mirakuru sends Roy into an uncontrollable rage and he unleashes on the city. Oliver realizes the mirakuru has taken over Roy completely and must figure out a way to stop him. Things get more complicated after Sara declares that Roy is too far gone and the only way to stop him is to kill him.—Anonymous

We open with Roy on the table at Arrow HQ. They are trying to help him but getting a cure is probably the best bet. Digs and Felicity are surprised there hasn't been more news regarding Isabel's death. Digs leaves the room and Roy wakes up. He knocks Felicity and Digs aside and leaves.

We see Oliver and Sara in bed together at a hotel room. Oliver suggests they move in together. But their rendezvous is interrupted when both of their phones ring with word of Roy's escape.

Moira does an interview about her campaign. She talks about being a parent and that making her a superior candidate than Blood. Thea walks in and tells Moira she can't have her upcoming rally at the club. Moira takes Thea aside and reminds her that she signed a contract and changing the venue the day before isn't really an option. Moira's adviser tells her she needs to be "either a mother or a candidate. You cannot split your focus." And Moira agrees.

We flash back to seven years earlier. Oliver and Laurel are together, but she leaves and Moira walks in. She realizes something is bugging her son and Oliver reveals that he's gotten a woman pregnant. And it's not Laurel.

In present day there is a rash of assaults by someone wearing a red hoodie. Arrow hears from people that it is Roy.

Roy runs into Sin on the street and threatens her. One of her friends come to the rescue and Roy beats him mercilessly.

Digs has been following Thea. She doesn't like it and asks Oliver what is going on. He reminds her that Slade is dangerous. A bloodied Sin shows up at the club and tells Sara she ran into Roy. She says he's "comic book strong."

Moira drops by Blood's office to say she's dropping out of the race. He asks for an explanation, given she's doing well in the polls. She says it's because Thea needs her.

In the flashback Moira tells Oliver they'll figure everything out and asks, "Are you sure it's yours?" He says he doesn't know what to do.

In present day Felicity is tracking Roy's movements. Sin calls Sara to say she's found him.

Arrow and Sara meet Roy in the clock tower. He easily dispatches Sara and catches one of Arrow's arrows. Arrow pulls back his hood, as Oliver, pleads with him to fight what's happening but it doesn't work. Roy slams Oliver into a wall and stomps on his knee. Out on the street Roy encounters two police officers and beats up both of them, stabbing one with an arrow, before running off.

Sara brings the Arrow to an off-the-books doctor for treatment. He says all he can give him a brace, but Oliver is still in tremendous pain. The doctor then reaches in to a cabinet and remarks that for a long time, the Triad would interrupt shipments of meds to the hospital, but somebody stopped him. He tells the Arrow that he always wanted to thank him.

Digs reminds Thea that Moira loves her. Thea looks up at the TV and sees a report of Roy beating up the cops and learns one is dead.

Sara and Oliver argue over whether they should take out Roy. Oliver thinks they should wait and try to save him. But Sara grabs a gun and walks out.

We see Thea go to see Roy. She tells him she is to blame and she deserves to be punished, "permanently." But we are shown that Thea wasn't there. It was a delusional vision Roy is having.

Oliver asks his mother about dropping out of the race. He thinks she's going about the Thea problem the wrong way. Oliver believes Moira needs to let her daughter see her doing something good for the city. Moira tells Oliver, "I know." She says she couldn't be more proud.

Back in the flashback Moira meets with the girl Oliver got pregnant. Moira hands her a check for a million dollars, conditional upon her telling Oliver she's lost the baby. She'll give her another million if she never returns.

In present day Moira gives a speech in front of supporters at Verdant. At the last moment she changes her mind and does not drop out of the race. Thea takes the stage afterwards and makes a statement she hopes will draw out Roy.

A limping Oliver asks Felicity for Lidocaine. He injects the full contents of the bottle into his ailing leg and seems to move a little more smoothly.

Roy arrives at Verdant and begins tossing security around. Moira is rushed out by her handlers but Thea stays to talk. Within moments Roy lifts Thea in the air by her neck. Sara shows up and shoots him in the leg. Roy asks her to kill him. Arrow appears and shoots Roy with several arrows filled with viper venom that take him down but do not kill him.

Later in the lair, as Roy lies bound and sedated on the table Sara tells Oliver she wanted to kill Roy because "that's who I am." Sara tells Oliver she's stared into the eyes for the Devil for six years, and gave him her soul. She says he deserves somebody who can bring out the light that's still inside of him, adding that she cares about him too much to be with him as she leaves. On her way out she runs into Sin and says goodbye, adding that she's going to see an old friend.

In the limo Thea tells Oliver she now knows he was aware of Roy, which is why he had bodyguards protecting her. For Thea this is one more instance where her family has lied to her. Moira says she thinks they need to turn a new page. She says her children need to know something about Malcolm. At that very moment the limo is blindsided, and Oliver blacks out.

He wakes up to see Slade has Thea and Moira tied up. Slade and Oliver argue about Shado, and Moira realizes Slade was on the island. Oliver asks Slade to kill him and spare his family, but Slade asks Oliver to chose between his mother and sister, just as he had to choose between Sara and Shado on the island. Moira turns to Slade and offers her life if it means her children will be spared. Slade obliges, sticking a sword into her chest. Slade then tells Oliver there is one more person who must die "before this can end."

Back in the flashback, Oliver gets off the phone with the woman telling him she's lost the baby. He hangs up and tells Moira. He says he just wasn't ready to be a father.

Moira Queen hugs her son and says she'll always be there for him.
