Ok, that out of the way, it's difficult to see why the writers thought bringing Cupid back was a good idea. I mean, I understand she helped paint the painstakingly obvious tension between Oliver and Felicity and helped them realise their feelings, while giving some overwrought speeches on what love actually means, but surely there were other ways to achieve that? 

Her particular brand of insanity felt out of place in this episode, and even then hasn't really been built up enough for us to care about her motivations - especially when the events that have lead to her crusade against love took place a year ago.
