- Designated Hero: Curtis, Dinah, and Rene opt to rescue Vigilante instead of helping Oliver find the bomb and thus end Cayden James' Reign of Terror; their presence would've made all the difference and Oliver and Diggle wouldn't have been out-manned.
- Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The New Recruits, again! Cayden James is attacking the city, but they still refuse to fight alongside Team Arrow until the end of the episode and even then after all is said and done, Rene bluntly tells Oliver that "nothing's changed". All of them are acting like petulant teenagers instead of the full-grown adults they actually are.
- Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The new recruits. They spend most of the episode angry with Oliver, Diggle and Felicity for spying on them, even though six weeks have passed and don't they don't even believe them when they try to warn Dinah about Vince. Then, when Oliver makes an effort and extends an olive branch, they reject him. They are supposed to be seen in the right, but their behavior makes that difficult. Even worse is that Oliver and co. did what they did after learning that someone betrayed Oliver to the FBI, and they were right: Rene did exactly that. Between that and Dinah consorting with Vigilante, who has gone up against the team as an enemy, you can't blame the OTA for not trusting people who have compromised the team in such ways. Only Curtis has any right to be angry, and considering he had previously done something similar to Felicity in S5, his stance is a little wobbly.
