With the Undertaking days away, Malcolm dons his black hood to conclude business with seismologist Dr. Brion Markov and his team.

Meanwhile, Roy and Thea are still looking out for a hero. Laurel makes a decision after Tommy's revelation. In a flashback to the island, Oliver, Slade and Shado struggle to prevent Fyers from shooting a Ferris Air jet out of the sky.
