Honestly, s5 killed any real feelings I had about Madney. Like, idk man, I just really don’t care about them? Obviously I’m not pissed that they’re happy, but if they were to break up & find other people, I’d also be not pissed. I know I’m in the minority for that & that’s totally fine, I hope all the Madney stans get everything they want out of this episode, but as such, I was really mostly excited for the bachelor party scenes? Knowing that the rest of the episode was going to focus on finding Chim & the Madney wedding (as it should be,) but they’ve literally only been using Buddie & hinting & talking about the karaoke scene for weeks to promote this, and now they’re cutting it?? & you can’t tell me they didn’t know they were going to cut it, the episode airs TOMORROW, & they’ve had the people who watch it early watching it, so they’ve been deliberately using that scene & releasing stills to drum up anticipation, all the whole knowing they weren’t going to use it?? That’s just kind of shitty.

series masterlist
Tumblr media
You couldn’t believe it. How could it even be comprehended of what was going on when it felt like a dream? 
bro, you’re living every Instagram jealous fangirl’s dream right now…
Man, you couldn’t even imagine the backlash you’d be getting after this once everyone knew. 
Let’s hope they never find out.
Maybe this whole ordeal should be explained...
You had been at an after-party for the first big movie you did, well it was a featuring role, that the character literally had a sex scene with Sebastian Stan- yeah you know what you’re thinking, he’s a literal Greek god heaven-sent being- we all know.
Anyways me being me found him way too unattainable- God all those marvel actors and actresses were-, especially after the mishap of seeing his butt naked self before the scene, and him telling you it was fine because you were like his “little sister”. Either way, he was a no go, and you kinda wanted to find someone to take home. you hadn’t been laid in a while, and after seeing Sebastian naked you kinda needed relief. 
you were looking for someone more in your league scanning the room, until Seb decided to bombard you at the bar, with probably another one of his actor friends he wanted to introduce you to. 
Yeah, heh… I know how this sounds, but you two actually became pretty close on set, as the lead to his opposite, was a total snob, and Seb couldn’t stand her so you’d do a spot-on impression of her while roasting her, and Seb and you got along pretty well because of that. You’re probably questioning: why Seb? Of all people why would a famous person like him get along with a weirdo like me? 
Boy, do I look like I know?
in all your years it would still probably be a mystery till you died. 
Throughout the night Seb had been introducing you to all his friends and helping you “network” even though they all knew you sucked. That still didn’t stop you from having a small heart attack every time it was an actor you admire.
This time maybe was a little different because you had downed some drinks, and was a little more… bodacious? That’s probably the worst description you could come up with but it is what it is... anyways it was the only way you could get through the night without completely dying of being in front of literal heaven-sent beings.
“Hey Y/n! you’d like you to meet one of my pals!” Sebastian yelled over the music, cutting through people to get to me.
you were sitting at the bar just getting another martini with olives. Before taking a sip you saw him. Holy guacamole! He was definitely out of your league, but alas, he was trailing Sebastian, coming over to you, with you almost doing a spit take. you knew who he was, but man, was he ever hotter in person! pictures did not do his beauty justice.
“Hey, Sebby, who’s the next victim you’re introducing to moi?” you ask, stirring your drink with the olives. 
Seb shook his head at you, with a smirk on his face
“This is Tom, and Tom this is the infamous Y/n.” you definitely rolled your eyes at that one.
“It’s a Pleasure.” He says all gentleman-like.
Just as Sebastian is about to speak, none other than the stuck up lead of the movie calls over to him.
“Sebastian, they're taking group photos of the main character’s with Drake Doremus, our director.” 
You could tell Sebastian refrained from rolling his eyes at the way she was smirking at you.
 “Sorry Tom! Y/n and I have to go-”
“Uh, Sebastian, they want the main cast. No extras.” she snarkily snaps.
“She’s not an extra she’s a featuring role and y/n-”
“I’m fine here entertaining Tom. Besides I’m all photoed out.” you cut him off quickly trying to deescalate the situation before Seb snapped on her causing a scene for all the hungry photographers to eat up.
“See? She doesn’t want to get in the way of our spotlight. I’ll meet you over there.” she blows a kiss at Sebastian and walks over to our director.
“Are you sure about this y/n? Because you know Drake would be fine with it, and she has no say over it anyways and-”
“I’m fine, and anyways, it would be rude to leave your friend here when you just introduced us.” you comforted giving the most genuine smile you can.
He dramatically sighs, raising his arms in surrender,  “Well if she ends up in the pool, it’s not my fault.” 
You laugh and wave him off before turning your attention to the arachnid superhero sitting beside you now at the bar. You sit in silence for a bit, admiring his freckles and eyes before speaking up.
“I’m sorry about all of that she can sometimes be such a-”
“-Bitch?”
“I was going to say Diva but that works too” you giggle as he starts to laugh with you.
“So Mister Spider-man, what made you come over here to be introduced to me?”
“I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t know anything about you till today, and seeing you act in this movie, I really am a fan of yours. Your acting ability in just this one movie blew me away!” He says intently, gazing into my eyes.
“You’re just saying that because I have a sex scene in the movie. It’s also probably just because of Sebastian’s acting. Or maybe you were turned on. ” you joke winking at him as you turn towards the bar, almost finishing your drink for the second time
He laughs, with a sly smirk on his face, “maybe.”
Before you can respond Sebastian interrupts.
“Hey, sorry I took so long, Miss Diva needed her ‘best angles’”
You internally groan. You just got cock blocked by the one you wanted before this whole ordeal.
“Well, I think I’m going to head out. We’re still on for breakfast tomorrow right?” Tom says, getting up abruptly.
“Yeah, Unless Y/n wants to bail on breakfast then we're still on, Then golf which Y/n will definitely bail on.” Sebastian jokes.
You were almost speechless, Seb said you’d meet some of his closest friends at the big brunch tomorrow. At least you’d be seeing him tomorrow. Maybe Sebastian set this all up? Either way, you weren’t turning down the opportunity.
“Well, uh I better get back to my hotel as well. We need to get up bright and early, and you know I need my sleep.” you mention, before downing the rest of your drink- very unladylike- and popping the olives into your mouth cringing a bit while eating them.
You hated olives, but it felt like such a waste to not eat them. You may have been in ‘high society’ but you still knew how rude it would have been, at least in your head it was.
“Party poopers. I’m gonna go say my goodbyes. Don’t wait for me.” Sebastian turns away going towards a group of his friends.
“I have a car coming, I can drop you off?”
“Oh, uh- are you sure? I don’t want to be a burde-”
“You’re not at all! Great company so far if you ask me,” he comments so… gentleman like.
You fight the urge to roll your eyes, and Once you got up and going, with Tom trailing behind you, you had to dodge a couple of waiters, apologizing every time, before really bumping into a waiter, who accidentally pushes Miss Diva, who wobbles before falling into the pool.
You stand there in shock almost watching as she, in slow motion falls into the pool, screaming on the way down. 
As soon as she emerges, she looks dead eyes at you, with looks that could literally, and probably would kill you.
Everyone falls silent before Sebastian, from across the pool breaks out into a fit of laughter and yells for you to “run”. Everyone who worked in the film and even the waiter starts to laugh along. Drake, your director takes out his phone before snapping a few photos. 
“AH! I‘m gonna kill you Y/n!” she screams at you before trying to swim to the ladder of the pool.
“Here,” Tom says before handing a hefty tip to the waiter before grabbing your hand and pulling you to the exit, “C’mon Y/n!”
The only thing that ran through your mind was “Holy shit. I’m dead now.”
Tom kept dragging you, to the entrance, through the paparazzi, and into the car, which mind you, the car was really nice, almost tumbling onto him.
“I’m a dead man now” you chanted a couple of times, before Tom started laughing really obnoxiously.
“Dude! You think me being six feet under is funny?!” ,You try not to giggle along to the now almost intoxicating sound, before hearing a pinging of his phone.
“Y/n, you’ll be trending for being Hollywood's hero!” He says before checking his device, “Trust me when I say she has no fanbase, at least won’t after this video Sebastian just sent me.”
“What?” you say stunned, before Tom shows you the video.
“That Fucking Bitch Y/n! You All saw that?! Y/n pushed me in purposely! She’s only out to get me, the talent of the movie! Talentless little bit-”
Sebastain cuts in the video “Yeah we’ve all heard it, you think you’re so much better than Y/n, Blah, Blah, Blah! You’ve treated her like shit from day one, and all she’s ever been was kind to you! I think karma is finally getting to you!”
Then your director steps in, “Well, I have news, we’re doing another movie, but in this time, Y/n has been bumped to lead role! I’m not so sure where your contract lies anymore though... Maybe it's just floating around in the water like your louboutins!”
Everyone cheers in applause in the video, chanting your name before it ends.
“What?! No, no, no! I don't deserve this because of a faulty point! She doesn't deserve this either! I know she's mean but to steal away from her talent and for someone to post that video?! She doesn't deserve that!” 
You started to freak out. Not only would she murder you if she had the chance, but no one deserved, not even she deserved the worst of what was going to come from the backlash from that video.
“Please tell me no one posted it!” you ask frantically.
“No, not yet, I’ll tell Seb not to, but I don’t think he can stop all the people who videotaped it.” He almost cringes, looking guilty.
“It’s fine I’ll just tweet something in the morning.” you sigh covering your face before telling tom where your hotel was.
It was almost upsetting, you felt like a second choice because of a bad apple in the batch, and you were the next.
“Hey Y/n? I know we don’t know each other well, but even though she might be booted down, or even off the next movie, your talent is real, and it doesn't take away from what you can do. From what I got from you already is that you're beautiful inside and out, as cheesy as it sounds.”
What the fuck. He was a fucking sweetheart. Let’s hope the fucking part litterally.
“Thanks Tom.”
You sit in an almost comfortable silence, all the way till you get to your hotel.
Once stepping out, Tom speaks up “Goodnight Y/n.”
“Dream of me Tom.” you wink before heading up to think of the game plan for tomorrow.
Once you got into bed, you couldn’t help but think of him. 
Why did he have to be so nice? Like god, did sweet guys ever make you horny.
Oh shit. Tom Freaking Holland made you this way.
Lets just say, you really did dream of him, probably because you thought of him while- well you know before falling asleep.
Tumblr media
***
“Tommy!” you moaned loudly, as he went down on you, licking stripes from the base of your pussy to your clit.
He moaned onto your sensitive clit, sending vibrations all the way up your body, and especially to your core.
You could feel yourself getting close. His iron (man™️) grip on your thighs had you wishing it would never end and then-
***
Your obnoxious ringtone you had for Sebastian went off abruptly waking you up. You had set it to a fucked up sounding avengers theme song. 
“What the Fu-”
“Y/n uh, apparently there's a shit ton of paparazzi at your hotel right now… do you still want to go to the brunch?
You pause, “What? The Fuck?” you continue to look outside your window and sure enough, there's a hoard of them outside.
Greaaaaaat…
You really weren't sure about going, until you got a call from an unknown number. 
“Uh I’m getting another call gimme a sec-” you end the call with seb before answering the mystery person.
“Hey Y/n it’s me, Tom, Im uh almost in the back alley of your hotel waiting for you, I mean, only if you want to come, you were on my way anyways so i thought-”
“Hey Tom,uh yeah- okay, I’ll be down in twenty?” You say rushing around trying to find your suitcase.
“Okay, I’ll uh, tell Seb we’re coming soon” 
Tom hangs up after you say goodbye, and couldn't help the grin that reached his face being almost smacked back into reality by his brother, Harry and best friend, Harrison, goofing off.
“You div! You almost ruined my hair!” Harrison whines, as Harry rolls his eyes.
You, on the other hand, were rushing around taking a Guinness world record shower, before drying your hair, putting on minimal face shit, because thanks to Tom you didn't have time, and putting on an outfit that made you feel super cute and ready for golfing, well, watching it.
You weren’t much of a sport player, minus the competitive side that came out as soon as anyone challenged you. Then suddenly, you were an allstar (by smash mouth p.s fuck smash mouth) at whatever came your way.
Lets just hope you had this in the bag if someone challenged you. 
Your phone buzzed and you jumped, before quickly answering the texts you had gotten.
‘Are you coming?’
‘Yes seb im coming soon ;)’
‘Hey y/n it’s tom were here when your ready :)’
‘Wrong “you’re” but im coming lol ;)’
As you made your way down, Tom kept fiddling in his seat, trying to relax yet impress you. He just had to get over her, and you were the perfect solution for that. He didn't want to use you or anything, just have some casual fun that will help him move on.
As soon as you come into sight, of course looking both ways of the alley because who knows who's lurking, or going to hit you like Regina George, Tom couldn't help but almost drool in admiring you. You had your gorgeous legs on display, almost gleaming in the sunlight starting to peek through the alley, and your hair, looking almost effortless in your hairstyle, that took you like, five minutes to do. 
 As soon as you got into the car, Tom was snapped out of his daze, quickly trying to catch himself before being caught.
“Hey Y/n! You remember Harry? And this is Harrison. Harrison, Y/n-”
“Y/n I’m a really big fan! Maybe not as big as Tom’s di-” 
“Mate! Shut up!” Harry jabs Harrison in the side. You couldn't help but laugh at the interaction.
��Y/n i’m sorry about these divs.” he glares at them red in the face which makes you laugh even harder.
“It’s fine, I’m used to it from my catty family.”
“Oi! We’re not catty!” Harry says before Harrison gives him a wet willy in the ear.
“Haz!-”
And that's when you started to block out their fighting to focus on Tom.
“So uh, how many people will be at this? Sebastian totally didn't tell me for legal purposes of marvel-people-are-coming-so-don’t-tell-y/n-or-else-she’ll-freak-out.” You joke before earning a snort from Tom.
“Uh well, if you really want to know, the people I know are coming are Anthony Mackie, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson- you should close your mouth love, don't want any flies in there.”
You couldn't help but have your jaw slacked, and mouth hanging open. These were people you only had ever dreamed of meeting. You had to focus on what you wanted though. Tom was the priority, but damn were you going to freak out on the inside.
“That’s not the only thing you’re worried about going into my mouth? Right?” You joke, definitely meaning a sexual innuendo, but with a cover-up.
Now Tom’s the one with the open mouth.
“Damn bro!” 
“Oh my God!”
A chorus of reactions come through from Harrison and Harry, only leading you to say,
“Well? Don’t you have a frog in yours?” 
He tries to brush it off with laughter, though you could see his red face. He only hoped he didn’t have an even more noticeable way of telling he was turned on by that.
As the driver stopped, you realized you were at the restaurant, and man, was it ever a fancy and probably extorting you of all your life savings one too.
Tom almost rushed out of that vehicle, getting hotter than he should have been with the air conditioner blasting, if you were to ask, he’d blame it on the weather (we all know it’s not the weather).
You got out next, covering your face with your hand to block out some of the sun, and crossed your arm over to hold it steady, which may or may not have slightly squished your boobs together, making Tom’s mouth salivate. Man, was he ever screwed today, maybe literally as well.
As soon as he hurried into the restaurant, with you following closely behind, dogging more paparazzi, Tom goes to the front and asks where “Mr. Stan's table” is directed at the hostess. As soon as she saw Tom she looked behind to see you, which she definitely recognized the both of you, and that was pretty surprising, as you've never been recognized, other than hanging out with Sebastian, due to the movie.
“Right this way sir.” the hostess says professionally, leading you to your demise.
You were holding your breath. There were so many of them, all at once that you admired, it was going to be a difficult task. You could barely handle meeting sebastian stan, but all of your favorite celebs at once? 
oof
Once you got to the table hidden away in the corner, everyone said a chorus of greetings to Tom and friends and you.
You swallowed hard, only mustering out a small wave, before Tom pulled out a chair for you, (his momma taught him to be a gentleman) and you slid in whispering a small thank you.
Tom sat beside you to your left, with Harrison and Harry on your right. Sebastian was sitting right across from you, alongside Anthony Mackie, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Chris Hemsworth, and Elizabeth Olsen surrounding the rest of the table.
“Hey everyone, so this is infamous Y/n, as you've probably seen the film or, the viral video, either way, this is her.”
“Hey! Y/n Seb here has told us so many stories about you, it’s like we already know you! You're a fan right? So who’s your favorite?”
You try to get words out but they don't seem to come. Tom notices and barges into the conversation,  “It’s obviously spider-man, ‘cause i'm so her type.” Tom mentions, in a cocky yet sarcastic tone, which started a spark for you to say something.
“And apparently I'm sitting beside a div? If that's the right word you use for a blubbering idiot.” you retort, re-using the words of his own. That got you a bunch of responses of “burns” “ohs!” and laughter.
It was almost as if the tips of Tom's ears were red in embarrassment with him still laughing along. You couldn't help but laugh as well at the sight.
During the rest of the course of breakfast, you had actually been vocal and had become quite fond of the people you now could say you knew, in one brunch. You especially loved the banter between Anthony, Seb and Tom, whereas you talked mostly to Scarlett and Lizzie, as she told you to call her, and Jeremy about projects they had done, and were looking for in their next ones.
Tumblr media
Soon you had all had finished breakfast and had gotten the checks, with your eyes almost bulging out of your head at the price. 
Tom whispered into your ear, “I’ll pay, don't want your kidneys sold for this meal. Besides, I have to beat Seb in some way today.” he winks at you.
Your face feels slightly warm. 
Why did he have to be so nice?
“Well we should go to the course now everyone, I know Y/n’s out of playing so she can go to the pool, cause she apparently sucks at golf even though she's never tried it.” Sebastian taunts you. 
“Oh screw you Seb, I can totally do it, maybe, probably not but i'll try-”
“It’s nice to see some A list actors eat here too.” 
oh shit. It was her.

Level 2 - Arrow Music Notes 7x04
Oliver expects to find the Demon in Level 2 and yet ends up being tortured over his own demons.  Meanwhile, the legacy of the Canaries continue in the future with Zoe and Dinah.
Tumblr media
Oliver in Level 2
Oliver is put into solitary confinement, withheld food and drink, enduring blinking lights, and an extremely annoying buzzing.  The chief psychiatrist, Dr. Parker, introduces himself and suggests that Oliver is a danger to the other inmates and himself.  He is there to essentially reprogram the violent tendencies that Oliver has and as they begin, an electric guitar theme begins to play.  This was first introduced in 7x02 when the guard told Oliver that while others may view him as a hero, they both know better.  This theme is a repeated pattern both in the individual notes (playing the same note several times before moving to the next) and the pattern itself.  It is used throughout the episode as the Doctor continues to ask him his name and where the source of becoming the Green Arrow originated. Continuous repetition for reprograming Oliver from a violent man and his sins.
The doctor finds Oliver resistant and drugs him with something to help him talk (truth serum?).  As he asks Oliver about the turning point from being a playboy to the Arrow, the music from that same flashback in the pilot plays including the hero horn 1 “Sacrifice” (1x01- not to be confused with “Sacrifice” in 1x23) marking the turning point for Oliver musically. As the doctor asks Oliver what he sees, the guitar theme from earlier returns repeating over and over: you are not a hero.  Oliver shares that his father asked him to right his wrongs which is why he became a vigilante.  The doctor tells him that a father provides a legacy and that Robert provided a legacy of murder (killing the bodyguard), condemning him.  
Tumblr media
The next time Dr. Parker returns, he brings up William and passing along his legacy of violence on to him.  Violins play a minor melody over a repeating timpani beat, reflecting Oliver’s anguish over the life he left for William.  As the doctor asks him whether he is concerned that William will be a murderer like him, violins plays the beginning of  “Promise Kept” (2x20), when Moira offered her life up for her children and was killed.  Oliver’s parents both sacrificed themselves for him and that legacy is something Oliver is willing to do for his son.  As the doctor continues to tell him that his mission was tainted from the start, infecting Oliver and his son, and that he must let go of the past, a version of the guitar theme returns.  “You are not a hero.”  Oliver has heard enough and tells the doctor to go to hell.  The jail clanging sound returns from previous episodes over a low bass and dissonant high notes as the doctor decides to use the machine to help him respond appropriately, bringing a feeling of danger.
Tumblr media
The machine turns out to be electric shock therapy to “reform” Oliver’s memory of that turning point with Robert. As he remembers that moment again, strings play the slow three notes (going up one note and coming back down) from that scene (and used throughout the pilot) and then switches as William suddenly appears in his memory, having switched places and roles with his own father.  The theme “I forgot who I was” (1x05) begins in the cellos. Beside being very on the nose with the title in a moment where his memory is literally being reprogramed, this melody is a key one for both Oliver and William.  It is about the Queen family, their lies and consequences and sacrifices. It first played as Diggle told Oliver that things were not going the way he planned when he came back: so many people having questions and doubting him especially Laurel and Thea, or how much he would have to lie to those he loves most (as Walter left Moira for an extended break after her continued lies in order to protect him).  “When you were plotting your grand plan to save this city, I don’t think you planned on the effect it would have on the people in your life or how it would hurt them.”  Oliver responded that he thinks about it all the time and that not being able to tell them the truth hurts him the most.
The countermelody (additional melody played at the same time) is introduced in that scene when Moira and Walter part ways.  This becomes Moira’s theme for a lot of season 1 and 2 “Sad Moira” (1x10) as she deals with the consequences of lying and pushing Walter away to protect him.  Both themes return in “Own Worst Enemy” (2x18) when Thea is missing, bringing back Oliver and Moira together.  Moira realized that in lying to protect her family she became her own worst enemy: “From the moment your children are born you worry about what the world will do to them, not what you will do to them.”  In 2x19, this countermelody returns “Dad knew” as Oliver tells Thea that their Dad knew that Thea was not his daughter but still chose her. “He chose us.  He chose you.”  In 3x03, “Lose you forever” Oliver tells Thea about their father sacrificing himself for him, telling her that he needs her even if she doesn’t need him.  It also returns as he says goodbye to Thea in 6x16.  It is a theme of family and sacrifice.  
Tumblr media
The roles begin to switch from being a son and brother to a father but the theme stays the same as Oliver discovers William’s existence and then meets him “Oliver meets William” (4x08) and then sends him away to protect him: “I wanted to give you a real childhood.” in “Message to William” (4x15)  In 6x21, it plays as he says goodbye to William again with possibility of going to prison: “you are strong like me...I am always right here with you.” echoing Moira’s saying the same thing in 2x20 “Never Without Me.”
Tumblr media
Now Oliver is reliving the moment with his Dad but as the father with his own son seeing the life cycle of violence and sacrifice being repeated. A repeated harp note tolls under the string melody almost like a death knoll (harp was used  in “Message to William”) as he repeats the same words as his father “I will take care of everything. Everything will be fine.”  The legacy of sacrifice that his mother and father left him continues through his words as Moira’s countermelody plays while he tells William that he will have an amazing life, he is destined for great things and tells William to forget about him and life his life before killing himself the way Robert did. 
Tumblr media
The guitar theme returns one last time as Dr Parker asks Oliver his name and Oliver responds with Inmate 4857, implying that the reprograming worked.
The legacy of the Canary
The show has had a legacy of Canaries since the introduction of Sara’s theme as the Canary in 2x03 “Canary”.  Each one has their own theme based off the original theme for Sara, first introduced in horn (a hero instrument) but also used frequently in the flute especially when Laurel took over in Season 4.
Tumblr media
When Sara was killed, Laurel wanted to find justice and in doing so became the next Canary in Sara’s legacy.  She had her own theme that begin 3x02 as she wanted to go after Sara’s killer.  This theme “saving the train” (4x01) had the same amount of notes (5) and rhythm as the original Canary theme and also went up but the intervals (distance between notes) were different.  It was an imitation but clearly different which fit for Laurel trying to both avenge her sister and wanting to become her sister.  This was her primary theme though she occasionally did have the original theme.  It was used at her funeral “Laurel was the Black Canary” in 4x19 as Oliver shared her identity to the world and returned as Oliver and Diggle discussed having a new Canary on the team in 5x11 in honor of Laurel’s request.
Tumblr media
Of course, since Black Siren is Laurel’s doppleganger, it is only fitting that her theme is both the same but different.  Her theme was first introduced in the Flash (2x22) and then in Arrow 5x10 “Laurel, not Laurel.” The theme is the same except for the last note which goes up one extra half step, providing a distinguishing mark that while they may be practically the same, this one is the evil and dissonant version.  Her theme returned in this episode as she prepared to scream at the Silencer for answer.
Tumblr media
Dinah Drake joined the team in Season 5 and her theme was introduced with her character in 5x10.  Her theme “Cemetery Confrontation” (5x14) is based off of Sara’s original Canary theme but like Black Siren’s changed from Laurel’s, Dinah’s changes at the last note, going up one step instead of a sixth.  Carrying on the legacy but a different person.
Tumblr media
Dinah’s theme is used very sparingly so when it appears, it means you have to take notice. During the flash-forwards, William and Roy enter Smoak Tech, discover a rubix cube from Felicity and are almost caught by the police.  As they are rescued by a vigilante with a bo-staff, the music plays Dinah’s Canary theme, the hero rescuing them.
Tumblr media
In the present day, Dinah drops by Rene’s apartment to apologize and visit Zoe after being in the hospital.  She gives Zoe a canary pin as a new Canary theme plays based off of Dinah’s/Sara’s. Like Dinah’s, the theme stays practically the same except the last note goes down instead of up.  The other interesting part is the instrumentation.  Instead of horn or flute, Zoe’s is high electronics matching the sound of the future, foreshadowing her appearance in the flash forwards as the new Canary of the next generation (also accompanied by this theme). This electronic sound is used much for the future in this episode which is a similar to sounds used on Legends of Tomorrow in their travels to the future and on the waverider “Where to Next” (Legends 1x06)  
Tumblr media
Extra Notes:
- I ran out of time to expand on most of the other details.  (and my computer keeps losing parts as well instead of saving it!)  Only so much time!
- the Longbow theme returned as Felicity tried to get information from the Silencer at the beginning
- there may be a new Green Arrow theme.  It played in the horn when he/she rescued Zoe and when Rene and Dinah talked about it later in the hospital.  We shall if it returns or just for this episode.
- Rene’s Wild-Dog theme returned as he investigated the fire/Green Arrow
- the music for Felicity and Laurel was darker string patterns as they discuss darkness and whether she is willing to be ruthless.
- I don’t think Felicity is dead.  The music are the end match more being shocked and surprised instead of using her themes and instruments (or William’s for that matter).  Maybe if they give proof...
