In terms of consistency, season seven might just be the most consistent of Arrow since its second and fifth instalments and while I have been enjoying this season a lot, I haven't had that 'wow' episode just yet. Enter "The Slabside Redemption", a chapter that isn't just a season best, but could be a series best. This was, in all honesty the most action-packed and brutal the show has ever been, with the writers and show runner turning stunt coordinator James Bamford loose inside Slabside, allowing for some satisfyingly gruelling showdowns. Everyone was on their A-game this week. From the prison's environment, to the guards, to Stephen Amell and Kirk Acevedo brilliantly bringing their conflict to a fitting end, there was even the pleasant inclusion of Michael Jai White's Turner, who was also given plenty of time to shine. Farewells were said to quite a few characters as old ones reunited in an Arrow episode for the ages, as "The Slabside Redemption" brought Oliver Queen's prison ordeal to a bloody, emotional and amazing conclusion.
