Oliver nearly met his end at the hands of Adrian Chase before he was rescued by a familiar face - Earth-2's Laurel Lance a.k.a. the Black Canary.

During said conversation, they were interrupted by Chase, who asked: "You get him to tell you the truth yet, Pretty Bird?". Now, for anyone unaware, Pretty Bird is the Black Canary's nickname in the comics, and its a nickname that fans have been hoping would make its way to Arrow for years.

It may have taken them a while, but it was a moment that was well worth the wait.
