Arrow season 6 celebrated Thanksgiving with Oliver getting arrested and suiting up again when he found out what Diggle had been hiding (and that just got worse), but there was also some time for a few family moments as well — and a miracle (or “cutting edge neuroscience,” as Felicity called it) when Thea woke up. Plus, Cayden James revealed just why he wants revenge.
Here are the best quotes from episode 7 “Thanksgiving.”
Arrow Recap: Oliver Tries to Celebrate Thanksgiving As the Team Falls Apart>>>
“If I was dating the Green Arrow, I think I would know. Besides, The Flash is much more my type.”
Reporter: “Can you comment on speculation Mayor Queen converted Councilwoman Pollard’s bill into a citywide referendum as a distraction from speculation that he’s the Green Arrow?”
Felicity: “If I was dating the Green Arrow, I think I would know. Besides, The Flash is much more my type.”
“He is heroic that way.”
William: “Did Oliver save you?”
Felicity: “He is heroic that way.”
“If you got FOMO about being interrogated, don’t worry. Think you won’t miss out when we all get arrested.”
Curtis: “Did she just do all this now because she just got through talking to all of us? Well, sorry. She didn’t talk to all of us. She actually never talked to me.”
Rene: “If you got FOMO about being interrogated, don’t worry. Think you won’t miss out when we all get arrested.”
“Your generation’s so impatient. Why can’t you just savor the anticipation?”
Black Siren: “What’s the holdup?”
Cayden James: “Your generation’s so impatient. Why can’t you just savor the anticipation?”

“I can’t let you not let me.”
Oliver: “Please tell William not to worry.”
Felicity: “You tell him yourself when you get home.”
Oliver: “I’m sorry, do you have half a million dollars lying around?”
Felicity: “Actually, I do.”
Oliver: “What?”
Felicity: “The first round of the angel investment for Curtis’ and my startup came through.”
Oliver: “No, I can’t let you do that.”
Felicity: “I can’t let you not let me.”
“I’m gonna work on an algorithm over there when I figure out what an algorithm is.”
– Rene, getting away from Felicity and Curtis’ conflict
“If you can hear me, just wake up, alright? Please. ‘Cause I need you now.”
“Hey, Speedy. I miss you. I miss chatting. They say that people in comas can hear other people talking to them. If you can hear me, just wake up, alright? Please. ‘Cause I need you now.”
– Oliver to the comatose Thea

“I’m gonna crush my French fries and pretend they’re mashed potatoes.”
Felicity: “Should we order our traditional Thanksgiving meal?”
Curtis: “I can call Big Belly Burger.”
Rene: “I’m gonna crush my French fries and pretend they’re mashed potatoes.”
“It was giving me the one thing in the world that I never knew I wanted.”
Diggle: “You remember last year when the Dominators put us into this alternate Star City?”
Oliver: “Yeah, kind of difficult to forget.”
Diggle: “We got to see what our perfect life would be. Mine was being the Green Arrow. So you asking me to take the mantle was not selfish. It was giving me the one thing in the world that I never knew I wanted.”
“Getting arrested is not doing a lot for my credibility.”
Oliver: “Felicity thinks that Cayden James is going after Starling Stadium. There’s going to be 35,000 people there tonight.”
Diggle: “You’re the mayor. Shut it down.”
Oliver: “I tried. Getting arrested is not doing a lot for my credibility.”
“She did all the work.”
Curtis: “You’re welcome.”
Rene: “She did all the work.”

“Revenge, on the other hand, is very real.”
Cayden James: “There is no bomb, so relax.”
Oliver: “And all of this?”
Cayden James: “To get your attention. To talk, that’s all. It’s not like I have your number.”
Oliver: “You’re insane.”
Cayden James: “Thomas Szasz, the renowned psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, says that there’s no such thing as insanity. Revenge, on the other hand, is very real.”
“The time of vigilantes is coming to an end because how can you idolize someone hiding in the shadows, who won’t show his face?”
“The time of vigilantes is coming to an end because how can you idolize someone hiding in the shadows, who won’t show his face, who refuses to own up to his shortcomings and culpability? That’s not a hero. That’s a coward.”
– Agent Watson to Oliver
“I’ve never had more to be thankful for.”
– Oliver, with Felicity, Thea, Diggle and William in Thea’s hospital room after she woke up

If it’s on TV — especially if it’s a procedural or superhero show — chances are Meredith watches it. She has a love for all things fiction, starting from a young age with ER and The X-Files on the small screen and the Nancy Drew books. Arrow kicked off the Arrowverse and her true passion for all things heroes. She’s enjoyed getting into the minds of serial killers since Criminal Minds, so it should be no surprise that her latest obsession is Prodigal Son.
