The flashbacks continue to be a really enjoyable part of the show this year, which is something I haven't been able to say since Season 2.

There's an interesting story, as we finally learn how Oliver got inducted into Bratva, some nice parallels with the present day, and best of all the presence of Anatoli, whose interactions with Oliver are great to watch.

Here we see how Ollie picked up one of his scars, being sliced repeatedly by his 'brothers'. All of this is to become Bratva, and eventually get to Kovar. How much more will Oliver have to go through before he's fully inducted, and gets a chance at keeping his promise to Taiana?
