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. And as she took him and Chase back to her Canary Bunker, the pair caught up on some of the things that caused the Emerald Archer to show up on her earth.

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.
