Limerick Review: Arrow S3E20, The Fallen
Last time, Ra's stabbed Thea, then fled,
And given just how much she bled,
It beggars belief
That to our slight relief,
She ends up in a coma, not dead.
But this was hardly a botched hit,
And Ra's just refuses to quit.
And says, to their chagrin,
That if Ollie gives in,
He'll let them use the Lazarus Pit.
With no choice, Ollie takes this route,
And lets the succession come about.
Though while they hold court,
The league has to thwart
Abortive tries to break him out.
Ollie's friends try to give chase,
But he thinks their efforts are misplaced.
He says 'bye to each friend,
And so by the end
He's ready to be the new Ra's.
Whatever the villainous cackles,
Or whatever drama it tackles,
The plan of attack
Will always be held back,
For the flashbacks are still self-made shackles.
