If the Arrow ever had a light at the end of the tunnel, it would be "The Devil's Greatest Trick" for sure. Rarely has an episode felt like such a nailbiter. Plot twists and great action aside, this is probably the best of Michael Emerson's Cayden James performance this whole season. The utter defeat and sorrow that the character felt was truly touched upon masterfully and for once, Arrow actually made you care for an insignificant villain. The father-son dynamic of the Queens was a little forced, but effective nonetheless. With the episode concluding on good notes, the icing on the cake was the reveal of the real season big bad. Though questionable and late, this dark turn for the show will surely be fun to watch.
